Good health is valued in wealth more than gold and massagers are just a major source of this wealth. There are a number of health benefits that can come as the result of regular massage therapy. Here are five of those benefits:

1. Relaxation and Stress Reduction: During a massage, the muscles are kneaded and rubbed into a less tense and more relaxed state. In addition, the body frequently releases serotonin and dopamine, both of which reduce anxiety and increase calmness.

2. Reduced Low Back and Joint Pain: Because a growing number of people are experiencing chronic low back pain, the need for massage has become imminent. Similarly, arthritic pain of the joints, such as in the knees and elbows, can benefit from massage therapy.

3. Lowered Blood Pressure: Adults, especially women, can benefit from regular massages that lower blood pressure. Partially the work of reduced stress from a massage and partly lowered muscle resistance, a massage is able to improve blood flow throughout the body. For many patients middle aged or older, getting a massage is a holistic method of lowering heart risk without resorting to expensive, long-term medications.

4. Increased Immunity: In some studies, massage therapy has been shown to increase the activity levels of the immune system, especially for T-cells that are most effective at fighting viruses, cancers, and tumors. These high-powered immunity agents work in everyone's bodies, from adults stricken with cancer to sick infants. In fact, babies who receive massage therapy often gain healthy weight more quickly.

5. Improved Circulation and Digestion: When patients receive massage therapy, their muscles relax and become more efficient. This improved effectiveness means that the body's blood and oxygen circulations are greatly improved as is the digestive system. When blood and oxygen are moving easier and more efficiently, people are less tired, more active, and happier overall.
