Life can be stressful. Thanks to stress many people suffer from back ache and tight shoulders.

A lot of people are now turning to massage therapy to help them relax and unwind. Massage therapy provides both physical and mental benefits.

Below are just some of benefits that massage therapy can provide:

Pain relief
Massage can break the pain cycle plus eliminate the original source of pain. It can relieve tight muscles, improve range of motion and alter pain sensations - even stop the nerves that register pain from firing. It can also increase circulation, since muscle tightness or tension often leads to ischemia or reduced local circulation.

Relaxation
After a stressful period at work, a lot of people just want a way to relax. Massage stimulates the release of hormones and toxins. Using massage oils can help to with relaxation, as the scent can be soothing.

Health Benefits
Massage reduces heart rate, lowers blood pressure, increases blood circulation and lymph flow, relaxes muscles, improves range of motion, and increases endorphins. There are also verified results on researches suggesting massage therapy decreased the effects of anxiety, tension, depression, pain, and itching in burn patients; abdominal surgery patients recovered more quickly after massage; and autistic children showed less erratic behavior after massage therapy.
