BENEFITS OF GETTING A MASSAGE
THERAPY
•But the benefits are not over. A good massage therapy helps the body
digest food better to supply vital organs with needed nutrients.
Likewise, for people in need of physiotherapy, usually after surgery,
massage therapies are one of the best choices to quickly heal the
damaged tissue and get back on their feet.
•It is valid to point out that Canadians with high levels of stress are
more prone to sickness and injuries. The reason for this is that stress
affects sleeping patterns, nutrition, and muscle resistance. This means
that if not properly handled, stress can substantially lower our immune
system. In regards to this, studies have shown that frequent massage
therapy not only reduces stress but it can also boost the body’s
cytotoxic capacity, which deals with getting rid of dead or sick cells.
