It\u2019s probably causing damage to your neck, shoulders and spine. \u201cRegular massage reduces the risk of injury by keeping our bodies supple and improving our range of motion\u201d, Paul, a therapist at Peace Star Therapy, explains, \u201ca good massage will help your body to relax and relieve pressure on your back, neck and joints\u201d.<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Boosts your immune system\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Regular massage is also great for boosting our immune systems which is super important as we enter flu season and as viruses keep, you know, doing their thing. Massage helps with lymphatic drainage and flushes toxins out the body. Not only does this keep you fighting fit but it helps to improve skin tone and brightens your complexion.<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Reduces stress and anxiety\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Times have been <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">a lot<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> lately (thanks, viruses) and have left many of us feeling stressed out, depressed and anxious. While it\u2019s no miracle cure, going for a massage gives you time to switch off, relax and put your wellbeing first. Getting a massage also helps to boost serotonin and dopamine (AKA, the happy hormones) levels in the body, lowering stress levels and reducing anxiety.\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Increases energy and concentration<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cMassage is great for boosting energy and concentration levels, too\u201d Paul adds. \u201cThe techniques and stretches used by the therapist improve circulation in the body, filling body tissue with oxygenated blood\u201d he explains. This rejuvenates them, helping us to feel invigorated and alert. So, while you\u2019ll feel relaxed during the massage you can expect to feel pretty peppy once you\u2019ve left the salon.
