The Benefits of Incorporating Massage

Muscles automatically contract around any painful site to support and protect the area. If pain is resolved quickly, muscles relax. If pain persists, muscles can become habitually contracted. Sometimes contractions press on nerves causing tingling, numbness, and more pain.

Massage helps by stretching tight muscles and by stimulating the nervous system to relax muscle tension.
