Touching
your body where it hurts is a basic instinct, like running from danger
or eating when you're hungry. And experts say that massage, no matter
how simple it may seem, can be a powerful healer. Other than
relaxation, they believe that it offers other benefits such as,
improved blood circulation, better digestion and intestinal function,
increased mobility in joints, relief from chronic pain and reduced
swelling and inflammation.
Massage therapy has clearly been shown to
be very beneficial, particularly in areas where conventional
medicine has not been as successful, including chronic arthritis,
musculoskeletal syndromes and chronic headache, among others."
Back in the days
before pain killers, heating pads and Jacuzzi's, humans have treated
their aches and pains the old fashioned way...with massage. When someone
twisted an ankle, they rubbed it. When they had a pain in their temples,
they rubbed them. And when they ate too much and their bellies ached,
they rubbed it!
