Benefits of massage

Yesterday I had a spa massage treatment which reminded me how deeply relaxing this can be and why I should indulge in one more frequently. Therapeutic massage, whether aromatherapy, therapeutic or by beauticians is so amazing at removing tension and stress held in our muscles, the sense of calm and release of these tensions is instant but moreover it can last for days. Interestingly, I read this week some research on cancer survivor ship and the benefits of massage, this was in an academic journal and what this paper brought home to me was the lack of insights into understanding what helps women as they embark on their survivor ship journey's, massage is one therapy that can provide huge benefits. Being able to zone out and have a sense of peace and calm in our busy lives is crucial, so I say go for it and invest in the self and book a massage, you'll be amazed!
