Massage benefits
In general
The benefits are many and on various different levels. A good massage will affect you in the obvious physical way, effecting your skin, muscles, joints etc; but also in a spiritual way (Whether you believe it or not), and will also mentally relax you, ideal for anxiety issues. The list I have made below is the medical way in which massage will benefit you, but it will also help you sleep better if you find it hard to sleep, it is a natural anti-depressant, it can make you feel and look younger. Having your colon massaged can help with constipation, by making you more regular due to returning the equilibrium to your energy flow.
