Massage Therapy produces a number of different benefits for the body and the person who inhabits it. These are not New Age babblings. Research provides support for several of the claims. Admittedly more scientific studies need to be undertaken to provide further data, but to date, university research and studies made by the National Institutes of Health provide some validity.

Increasingly research studies are beginning to support other benefits attributed to Massage Therapy. These include the following:

1. Improves digestion

2. Reduces or lowers blood pressure

3. Releases pain killing chemicals – endorphins

4. Balances hormone action

5. Improves blood circulation

6. Increases lymph flow

7. Abets muscle relaxation
