It compensates for long hours spent sitting

Massage improves circulation, thus allowing more oxygen and nutrients to flow to the bones. Massage also increases muscle flexibility and joint movement thus reducing pain and joint stiffness.

It alleviates muscle pain

Certain massage movements reduce muscular tension and cramps by relaxing and stretching the muscles. Muscles become more flexible since muscle tone is reduced. Massage is more effective in restoring over exercised muscles than rest.

A soothing massage provides relief from insomnia and tension headaches which are caused by nervous irritability and stress. On the other hand, a stimulating massage relieves fatigue and lethargy.

A full body massage triggers the nervous system to enter the parasympathetic response leading to relaxation. The body sends more energy and resources via healing and restoration processes.
