Health benefits of massage

Better health through massage? I’m a firm believer that massage, as well as related techniques that are often included in a massage therapy session, can have a very positive effect on our health. We’ll be discussing these techniques, such as accupressure, Reiki, energy healing, as well as general massage techniques later. For now lets look at the health benefits of massage in general.
1) Massage relieves stress, anxiety and muscular tension and pain.
2) Massage improves the circulation of blood, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the different organs, systems and tissues
3) Massage stimulates the circulation of the lymphatic system- thus helping to release toxins (remember to drink plenty of water after a massage!)
4) Massage can help lower blood pressure
5) Massage enhances flexibility, mobility and joint range of motion
6) Massage reduces scars and adhesions
7) Massage boosts the immune system 
Massage reduces fatigue (emotional and physical)
9) Massage can relieve depression
10) Massage helps with pain management in cases such as arthritis and sciatica
