Life is a paradox. We hurt the people we love the most. We become strong from the things that give us most grief. We smile when we get our heart broken and remain stoic when we encounter love. The older we get, the more responsibilities are piled upon us. From being a dorky teenager with no respect for the world and all its rules, to a young adult responsible for their own life, to a proud parent watching your baby’s first steps, life is never constant.
The power of massage
When people normally want to take a break from the stress, they usually go for a vacation or a self-discovery adventure or occupy themselves with friends, television and other mindless activities. We never actually consider the possibility of a massage. If things get harder, we turn to the heavy stuff like Alcohol, drugs and other narcotics. The instant and quick release will destroy our lives forever. Massages on the other hand, offer the same sense of release and are the best alternative to all the addictive substances. We hesitate to place our trust in massages as we are either hesitant to let a stranger touch our uncovered body or are afraid of the assumed humongous prices. As Phoebe proclaims in the show F.R.I.E.N.D.S, a massage will solve everything. Though we are unaware of its numerous benefits, the first and foremost reason to have a massage is to relax and remove the stress from your body.
There are a lot of types of massages. Some are native to the country that birthed them, and others are available almost everywhere. Based on the type of massage, some are known to have therapeutic effects. But all of them help in the execution of the following:
- Relieve pain
- Reducing stress
- Improving blood circulation
- Lowering blood pressure
- Aid in rehabilitation
- An integral part of recovery from deep injuries
- Reducing headaches
- Reduces anxiety and discomfort
- Increases vitality
- Improves concentration
These are just some of the many benefits a massage can do for us. The vast kinds of massages available help us address a variety of problems. There are regular massages which deal with the rubbing and pressing of muscles and there are sensual massages. A FBSM is a sensual massage.
