Massage is good for you
Massage is good for you
Getting a massage is often filed under the category of prissy pampering,a luxury that's reserved only for the occasional indulgence.
While massages don't cause double-takes in the mirror, they do kindle a much more potent dose of feel good vibes. Psychologically speaking, massages can go way deeper than managing anxiety and depression.
Some clients particularly those who might have experienced trauma before they learned to speak as a child massage therapy can be far more effective than psychotherapy.
The language associated with younger phases is touch. Sometimes the psychological issues took root because there were deficiencies around touch or other forms of soothing contact. You can have a client who has had umpteen therapy sessions with no discernible change or progress who then does six months of massage therapy on a weekly basis and experiences metamorphosis!
Massage, carefully used, can be successful in helping reintegrate a traumatized person into their body if they are prone to dissociation. Even if you've never suffered trauma, it goes without saying that human touch can be incredibly healing.

Of course, good posture is mostly developed by good habits and a strong core. But a massage can greatly help restore the damage caused by our sedentary lives.
Similarly, tight hamstrings can cause a person to hunch over, but through deep effleurage massage, the back of the thigh receives a stretch...one often sees posture improve, just from massaging the hamstrings alone.
Considering that good posture not only makes us look better, it also make us feel more confident.I'd say that these perks are much better.
