Many medical problems and conditions can be helped by having a massage. After a massage you may have a sense of well being, and be totally relaxed, this is why massage is so good for treating stress. Many systems of the body including the muscular, nervous, circulatory and even the immune system are all improved by having a massage.

Quite apart from the undoubted physical benefits of massage therapy, much of the benefit is psychological; it has to do with the feel-good factor of intimate contact with another human being.

The first thing that someone usually does after experiencing his or her first full body massage is book another full body massage! The second is to tell anyone who will listen how fantastic it was to be completely relaxed, something that very few of us ever achieve. A full body massage has to be the ultimate form of stress relief, just imagine what it is like to be so relaxed that all tension is gone from all of those knotted muscles.

A full body massage is not the only type of massage there is, although a full body massage is a very good one to start with. There are a great many different types, Indian Head massage, Neck and Shoulder massage, Swedish massage to name but a few. One form of massage is often not even thought of as a form of massage and that is Reflexology, this is a specialist type of massage on the feet.

Massage therapy was on the fringes of conventional medicine for a long time, but modern medical experts generally accept the efficacy of massage. In fact, more than 70% of American hospitals now offer massage therapy as a part of their treatments.

What do hospitals use massage therapy for? They use it in the treatment of chronic pain symptoms, in cancer cases, pregnancy, infant care, joint and muscle mobility, stress management and many other symptoms and disorders.

New research suggests that massage therapy helps to boost the immune system, lower blood pressure and manage pain.

Some of those who have been going through drug and alcohol withdrawl have been helped by massage, although massage is not widely available as part of a withdrawl programme. A massage is often given as a stand alone therapy it is also sometimes useful to use other therapies alongside, herbal medicine, accupuncture and reiki all work well with massage.

As massage therapy has moved into mainstream medicine more and more people are able to benefit from this wonderful form of treatment.
