Ahhhhh...
Massage

People
who have regular massage often report sleeping improvement, more
regular bowel movements, larger handwriting, and increased effectiveness
of medications. Massage also improves circulation and nutrition
of the joints and can increase joint range of motion and flexibility.
Massage
therapist use a variety of passive motion exercises and resisted
stretches, which allows for your body's rigidity and stiffness
to be gently challenged as your body is reacquainted with healthy
and normal movements. In addition to stretching the muscles, moving
the body stimulates the production of synovial fluid in the joints
(for healthy joint lubrication and pain-free movement) and re-sets
the proprioceptors (neurons that sense where the joint is in space)
in those joints that are stretched.
So
now you know that it not only feels good, but it is really good
for you. Go treat yourself to a massage today!
