• Stress Relief is vital for any person wanting to improve their health. Massage greatly reduces stress by lowering your blood pressure and heart rate, relaxing your muscles, and increasing endorphins.
• Relaxation is another benefit of massage. Massage has shown to decrease the level of cortisol, or stress hormone, in the body. 
• Improved Posture occurs as the muscles and joints relax from therapeutic massage. The massage allows the body to position itself into a more natural posture, which also prevents pain. 
• Improved Blood Circulation is one of the long term effects of massage. Therapeutic massage helps to bring oxygen rich blood to congested areas and damaged, tensed muscles, allowing the body to heal naturally.
• Lower Blood Pressure can reduce your risk for a heart attack, kidney failure or a stroke. Receiving therapeutic massage regularly is a natural way to prevent high blood pressure. 
• By Improving Flexibility and Range of Motion, massage therapy can enhance athletic ability and prevent active lifestyle injuries.
• Improved Breathing is yet another benefit of massage therapy. Massage techniques used to relax and lengthen muscles used in breathing can improve breathing capacity and function. A technique called tapotement, a percussive motion, can loosen mucus in the lungs and provide for better airway clearance. 

These are just a few of the numerous benefits of massage therapy.
