Stretching and Massage

The massage therapist uses her hands to accomplish things that most of us would understand would be impossible to do by just ourselves. Massage and manipulation of the body are not only ways to relax and unwind, but can also be an effective way to strengthen joints and bring flexibility to your body. In the hands of a truly trained therapist, the impossible becomes possible. What if I told you that relaxation and flexibility are basic to sound mind and body! It may seem too obvious to be true. The benefits of massage and stretching cannot be underestimated. A couple of hundred calories can have a beneficial effect on the body. The right massage can speed the recovery for those who've worked out too much the day before and are suffering from muscles spasms. Even the most sedentary person can benefit from a good massage. easing stiffness and swelling of a sore back can encourage better sleep and provide a welcomed alleviation of pain. Believe it or not, but massage is also a way to help your body burn calories even if you are sitting down. How many times while watching TV can you easily cringe at the commercials of delicious and sensational foods that promise to do wonders for your body? Even when your nose is clogged up, can you not still enjoy the aroma of freshly mended wounds and the aroma of herbs and spices to immediately take your mind off things that arouse you? Massage is the ultimate distraction.
