Massage benefits the body and mind. First things first, massage controls the soft tissues in the body. Along with the use of hands, fingers, elbows, knees, forearms, feet or a device: it is about touch.
Apart from feeling good and helping you relax, there’s much more to massage therapy that meets the eye. Although the main purpose is generally to treat the body from stress or pain.
A 60 minute massage is about the same as 7-8 hours of sleep to your body.
