Top Ten Ways Massage is Needed for Healthy Living

Ever wonder why so many people recommend massage. Beyond the fact that it feels amazing, massage has many health benefits. I have clients swear that massage helps to keep them healthy and young. So I decided to write an article about the health benefits of massage. I am going to share that article with you over the next few blog entries:

Top Ten Ways Massage is Needed for Healthy Living

The public view of massage is changing. Once thought an unaffordable luxury, massage is becoming affordable and the medical community is recognizing its many health benefits. People are beginning to understand that it is more accost effective to prevent disease and live a healthy lifestyle. Massage can play an important role in that goal. Here are the top ten benefits of massage.

10 – Good for your Skin
Massage increases circulation and brings nutrients and blood flow to the cells in your skin leaving a healthy glow. The therapists products should be natural and paraben-free for the most benefit to your skin.. These high quality professional lubricants leave your skin hydrated and nourished. Be sure to let your therapist know if you have any allergies to avoid the potential for an allergic reaction to the ingredients. This is also important for any additional aromatherapy products they may add to their base lubricant. Vitamin E, Jojoba, and Almond are common ingredients that promote healthy skin.




9 – Eases Muscle Tension

 Stress, injury, or over use can cause muscle tension where the muscle remains in a partially contracted state.  Massage eases muscle tension and aids in relaxation of the muscles. It also releases toxins stored in the muscles making it easier for their removal. The therapist manipulates the soft tissues and works out these knots and the tension causing discomfort.
