Why Massage?Why massage? It is an important question to answer. Massage is a concentrated session of
touch
and as with touch, there are two elements; the physical and the emotional. To simplify this, for every physical happening there is an emotional response and likewise to every emotional happening, there is a physical response.
When you receive a massage there are two responses, the physical and emotional. Here are some of the physical responses as to why massage is good for you. Here are some emotional responses as to why massage is good for you:- 
All these emotional responses generate a physiological state within the body which lead toward improved health and wellbeing. This is why massage should be something we all receive on a regular basis. It is my firm viewpoint that regular massage would assist in long term health improvements.
The fact is that massage decreases stress levels by releasing trapped energy; energy that gets bound up in muscle and fascia (connective) tissue which then becomes hardened and energy inefficent. This trapped energy causes all sort of physical and emotional problems. There is much spoken about stress today and much of it needs some serious consideration because quite frankly, stress (too much of it) makes us ill, sick and even diseased. Consider Irritable Bowel Syndome? If you don’t have it, you probably know someone who does?
"The key point is that IBS is strongly related to emotional stress and strain. Research on the psychosocial aspects of these disorders has yielded three general observations:
1. Psychological stress exacerbates gastrointestinal symptoms.
2. Psychological disturbances amplify illness experience and adversely affect health status.
3. Having a functional GI disorder like IBS impairs the quality of one’s life."

"The relationship between stress, heart disease and sudden death has been recognized since antiquity. The incidence of heart attacks and sudden death have been shown to increase significantly following the acute stress of natural disasters like hurricanes, earthquakes and tsunamis and as a consequence of any severe stressor that evokes fight or flight responses. Coronary heart disease is also much more common in individuals subjected to chronic stress and recent research has focused on how to identify and prevent this growing problem, particularly with respect to job stress. In many instances, we create our own stress that contributes to coronary disease by smoking and other faulty lifestyles or because of dangerous traits like excess anger, hostility, aggressiveness, time urgency, inappropriate competitiveness and preoccupation with work."

These are shocking statistics but they are I believe a sign of the times. Life is competitive, demanding and stressful and we can't escape from it but we can do a great deal to alleviate it. We can take more exercise; take better rest; we can implement a routine of daily stretching or take up Yoga, Tai-chi or something similar; we can take up walking in the countryside or swimming; we can study Buddhism, learn to meditate or learn relaxation techniques and we can learn to have fun. Of course we can supplement these with receiving relaxing therapeutic massage. There are so many ways of reducing stress and improving our health, and massage has been proved to improve health both physically and emotionally. Why wait until your body is crying out for help and you get sick or diseased? Start doing something about it today and book a stress relieving massage. It could be the beginning of a new you.
