Massage therapy, a systematic manipulation of the soft tissue of the body, increases blood and lymph flow, reduces stress, and improves musculoskeletal health. Having regular massages not only releives stress, but can also reduce pain, improve a depressed mood and improve sleep.

Therapeutically, massage is believed to affect all body systems, from circulation to metabolism. This includes improvement in the elasticity and tone of the skin, relaxation of the muscles, reduction of pain in muscles and joints, facilitation of respiration, enhancement of digestive processes, decrease in blood pressure, and increase in blood and lymph circulation. Recent research suggests that massage therapy may reduce stress hormones, thus improving immune function.
