Day 15 in the 30-Day Self Care Challenge

Studies of the benefits of massage demonstrate that it is an effective treatment for reducing stress, pain, and muscle tension.

Other helpful benefits of massage may include: relief from anxiety, digestive disorders, fibromyalgia, headaches, insomnia related to stress, injuries, and joint pain. Some people just enjoy a massage because it can make one feel cared for and enjoy a sense of comfort.

If laying on a sheet half-naked while someone is kneading you isn’t your thing, you may want to try Thai or Tuina massage, – you keep your clothes on. Or try Reflexology, where only the pressure points in your feet and hands are worked on. Still not for you? You can do it yourself!
