Massage helps increase and maintain joint flexibility and range of motion and can enhance athletic performance while reducing the risk of injury.

Massage's more subtle benefits include allowing deeper and easier breathing, improving circulation, reducing blood pressure, and increasing the action of the immune/Lymph system. Massage can also reduce or eliminate headaches. Meta-physical benefits include a reduction in mental and physical stress as well as anxiety.
