Health Tip: Get a Massage
By LadyLively on February 17, 2017
Massage therapy can help relax your body and mind, easing pain and helping you cope with stress.
The Mayo Clinic says possible benefits of massage include:
- Managing anxiety, stress-related insomnia and headache.
- Easing pain and discomfort associated with fibromyalgia, sports-related injuries, injuries of the soft tissues and temporomandibular joint pain.
- Reducing muscle tension.
Despite its possible benefits, Mayo says, massage therapy should not be considered a replacement for regular medical care.
