Benefits of Massage
February 14, 2010
There are so many benefits to massage but some of the most important ones are as follows;
Comforting – the sense of touch can be extremely comforting and offer clients the feeling of security and protection.
Improved circulation – massage improves circulation encouraging the body to eliminate toxins following massage.
Weight loss – Massage boosts all the systems within the body including the digestive system and with improved digestive function, your body can process waste more efficiently helping with weight loss.
Promotes well being – As massage is so relaxing and comforting as well as being a big contributor to reducing stress, clients feel much more able to cope with the trials of every day life.
Promotes Homeostasis – The body’s balancing and harmonising function helping clients feel re-balanced, calm and boosting all the body’s systems.
Reduces Stress – One of the biggest causes of illness in the modern world. Stress has many different guises in the form of headaches, insomnia, digestive problems, emotional problems, depression and muscle tension to name but a few! Massage can greatly reduce all of these issues giving clients the ability to face every day life head on.

Got something to say?
Totally agree with your posting Anne. It’s little known that massage can assist with weight loss but the improved digestive function coupled with the overall sense of well-being and stress reduction, stress being one of the many reasons we over eat, really does make a difference.
Health, weight loss and general vitality require an all round, holistic approach and I thoroughly recommend massage as part of that.
Love your new salon by the way!
You are right Tracey, stress has a lot to answer for! It causes so many ailments such as headaches due to muscle tension, tension in the muscles particularly around the neck and shoulders, insomnia as the mind continues to mull over the cause of the stress, over-eating and in some cases under-eating as the body seeks energy and comfort, digestive problems due to muscle tension and also cravings for stodgy carbohydrates all of which ultimately can lead to severe health problems..
I think between massage and health management stress can be greatly reduced and anyone needing to reduce stress should seriously consider these options.
I looked at your website and think what you are doing is commendable. I hope a lot of people suffering with stress will consider both massage and Health Mastery!
