What are the Benefits of Massage?
There are many reasons to make massage therapy a part of your healthy lifestyle. Receiving massage on a regular basis can bring balance to the tone of the muscles. It can help stabilize hormones, such as, serotonin, cortisol, and growth hormone. All of which are good for feeling good, bonding, tissue repair, and sleeping well.

How often should someone receive massage?
Well, that depends. If a car accident, fall, or some other type of accident has physically traumatized you, you may need a massage three times a week for three weeks to relieve the intensity of the pain. Or if you have been dealing with a chronic pain for years and you want to get rid of the pattern of pain, it may require a program consisting of appointments once a week for a year. If you are feeling well and your goal is to take charge of your health, a maintenance program of once a month may work just fine for you.

Remember, to maintain the life of your car, you regularly bring your car in for an oil change every 3,000 miles. You should demand no less for the eminence of your body.
