WHY SHOULD I HAVE SERVICE?
A massage every week or every two weeks would be ideal but not realistic for every person. We also have to remember that regular massages are important to help prevent injury, pain and tension build up in the muscle fibers and for de-stressing/relaxing the mind and body.
RISKS
Most people go to massage therapy to enhance the health of the body or decrease pain. In most cultures, they know massage and practice it. Massage therapy includes many techniques. Despite its benefits, you can’t replace it with medical care, and you should ask yourself if it’s too harmful to protect yourself from pain.
You should know that a massage can help you to get rid of stress, migraine, and serious diseases, but also you should know a bad massage can injure nerves and cause muscle spasms, and inflammation.
