Not only does it feel good, but the benefits of a massage can enhance your overall health and well-being. When properly done by a massage therapist, the initial benefit is that a massage is soothing and relaxing. This leads to a reduction in stress and anxiety. Lowering stress levels can aid in reducing blood pressure. The simulative effects of a massage can boost the circulatory system and help your heart deliver blood where it is needed. An improved circulatory system enables all areas of the body to receive more blood, oxygen and nutrients. Improved circulation can reduce swelling and the need for pain relief medicine. A massage can also help the lymphatic system to remove toxins from the body. A massage can loosen muscles and joints. It can also improve an individual's range of motion.
