M e m o ria l’ s licensed massage
therapist says individuals experi
encing headaches, muscle pam,
stress or an inability to relax w ill
receive a benefit from a form o f
massage therapy. W hen most
people think o f massage, they
think o f easing muscle pain and
soreness by gently kneading the
b od y’ s various muscle groups.
W hile massage therapy is an e f
fective way o f dealing with the
body's soft tissue problems, its
benefits actually go much further,
said a health district news release.
Therapeutic massage can help
boost the body’ s immune system
by breaking the stress cycle. It
also increase blood circulation and
helps improve the lymphatic flow
throughout the body, said the re
lease.

sage therapy, consult your health
