I do love massages!
The last one I took was one with hot rocks. Indian people used this technique. It relaxes the muscles in a great way; relieves mental tension, and enhaces a positive mood!
Have them as often as you can!
I have a girl that comes home and gives the massages. Remember I live in Mexico, she charges 40 dlls for an hour and a half massage!

Members,

Our focus in recent weeks has been on stress management. The positive effects of massage therapy have been widely studied in children, adults & older adults. The listed benefits from head to toe include:

  • Decreased incidence of headaches related to tension.
  • Improved mood, decreased anxiety. Children with autism showed a decrease in problem behaviors.
  • Improved circulation & decreased blood pressure. In surgical patients, faster healing & recovery rates were noted. 
  • Better posture, decrease muscle tension, joint pain, range of motion. In pregnant women it helps alleviate discomfort. 
  • Better sleeping patterns in babies, children & adults.
Have any members found this therapy beneficial?
