Treat Yourself To A Massage

April 29, 2004 8:54 AM from

A massage not only feels good, it's good for you. The motions used in massage trigger a natural relaxation response in your body, which slows down the nervous system. It also increases circulation, which helps relieve pain associated with excess tension. It reduces stress hormones, and increases seratonin, which provides feelings of well being and enhances mental skills .

So why not make an appointment with a licensed massage therapist? If you're married, don't hesitate to treat your spouse. Research has shown that massage not only benefits the receiver but also the giver. Your husband or wife will undoubtedly want to return the favor.

Massage is good for the body and soul.

I know some shiatsu and used to practice on my husband...who's get embarassed because he'd fall asleep during the massage! I didn't mind; I took it as a compliment that I'd relaxed him enough that he could nod off like that.

Massage, especially between couples, can be a bonding experience. Touch is a powerful thing, and when there's nothing between your touch and your mate's bare skin but a little oil....well, it can be quite a 'deep' experience.
