One of the immediate benefits of massage is a feeling of deep relaxation and calm.  This occurs because massage prompts the release of endorphins - the brain chemicals that produce feelings of well-being.  Levels of stress hormones, such as adrenalin, cortisol and norepinphrine, are also reduced.

Regular massage has great healing benefits such as reducing stress, decreases anxiety, relives muscle tension and pain, improves quality of sleep, relieves headaches and lowers blood pressure.  Massage also helps to remove waste products from the muscles and tissues and can also help to exfoliate the skin.
