It soothes anxiety and depression
And, a study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, found that patients who were depressed and anxious were much more relaxed and happy, and had reduced stress levels after massage.
It relieves headaches
Massage decreases frequency and severity of tension headaches. In a comfort role, massage is done to ease the pressure brought on during a migraine or tension related headache. By focusing on the neck, shoulders, and head, massage can decrease the pain and discomfort brought on by migraine or tension headaches.
It improves sleep
Not only can massage encourage a restful sleep-it also helps those who can’t otherwise comfortably rest. Regular sessions of massage, either weekly, every 2-weeks or monthly, can greatly improve not only sleep problems, but allow a deeper rest time, providing a more positive outlook on life.
