The key benefits of Massage include: 

• the stimulation to the blood supply allowing toxins in the muscles to be removed;

• an the easing of stiffness and tension.

Massage assists in activating the parasympathetic nervous system which stimulates the release of endorphins and serotonin. Endorphins are an analgesic compounds which reflects a sense of well-being and works as a “natural pain reliever”. Serotonin helps regulate intestinal movements and acts on the central nervous system where it enhances our moods. Improved quality of sleep is another great side effect of massage.
