The benefits of massaging

Most of the people like a massage very much, but why is it good for you?

Relaxation
A massage can help you relax. After a busy week at work, many people suffer from cramped muscles, resulting in neck, shoulder and back complaints. A nice massage not only helps to relax these muscles, but is also good for your mood. You are more comfortable in your own skin and you feel fitter.

Waste
During a good massage, the blood circulation and lymphatic vessels are activated. As a result, waste products leave the body faster.

Energy
The energy flows are stimulated during a massage. This releases tensions and gives the body new energy.

Contact
A massage can ensure that you come into contact with your body more. Especially people who have difficulty with touch benefit from this. But even if you like physical contact, a massage can be good to give you a pleasant and safe feeling. Especially if you are not feeling well, are depressed or restless, your body could use some extra attention.

Injuries
If you exercise a lot, you often suffer from tense muscles and muscle aches. A good sports massage can speed up the healing process and make the muscles more flexible.
