 What are the benefits of massage and why do people love it so much? Massage is a majestic adventure, it is an exploration through the senses of our existence, and one of the greatest blessings bestowed upon humanity. It is an artform that has existed since the dawn of man and has been shared from mother to child for eons. There is no greater pleasure than the healing touch of someone who wants to offer us joy for the sake of seeing us smile.

Massage is marvelous because it is the exploration of ethical touch, it is giving without expectation and the truest and most powerful means for us to reconnect with our humanity. For many of us we live in a world that is alienating, we are infrequently interacted with as a person with feelings, and we are rarely granted the opportunity to exist at the center of someone’s undivided attention. Massage opens up the doorway for us to receive all of these things at once.

There are many articles on massage websites that talk about the benefits of massage, some will say it encourages circulation, others discuss the ways in which it can flush out toxins, but the truest and greatest benefit of massage is the humanizing component. It reminds us why life is beautiful, wonderful and great. It encourages us to live our best days, to celebrate our seconds and cherish every moment we exist. Sure, it can improve circulation, and if can encourage our lymphatic system to function more effectively, but by and large people get massage to manage pain, reduce inflammation, minimize anxiety and to simply feel good.

I love talking about massage, because there are so many intangible elements about it to discuss. A massage is more than a series of pokes, prods and squeezes. It is an exploration of the human experience, and an opportunity to indulge the magnificent pleasures of the senses.
