Everett, WA massage therapy It would make sense if you thought massage therapy was a luxury that people did just because it felt good. It is true that it feels wonderful and relaxing, soothing soreness and relieving tension in muscles. Massage therapy, whether in a treatment session for an injury, or a relaxation session has many health benefits.

Melting into a state of deep relaxation can be, in itself, very healing. Massage therapy helps to balance the autonomic nervous system. Having regular massage can help your mood. When you have a massage therapist that you feel trust and comfort with, just knowing you have made time for yourself to receive massage will have a huge impact on how you feel and have a cumulative effect on relieving your stress.

“One of the most positive aspects of receiving massage therapy treatments is that all the methods are natural, drug-free, noninvasive, chemical-free (except for simple lotion or oil) and based on the sciences of physiology and anatomy. All benefits are real, not based on mood-altering drugs and can be obtained exactly the same way time after time – you build no resistance as you do to a drug, and you have no side effects except a feeling of wellbeing, and that is one you will never complain about. “ Taken from The Secret Of How Massage Therapy Benefits Your Overall Health Guest Author: William Hall
