massage benefits

Do a lot of people see massage as a luxury or for health/wellness benefits?

Some may not think much of massage therapy. I just want to know if anyone believes in its helpful qualities.
The stigma that comes with it isn’t fair to me. Some people are legit and shouldn’t be put into the suggestive category of sexual favors. I’m talking about people who actually see the physical benefits behind massage…

The benefits of massage extend beyond the physical. Massage is unique in that it provides tangible stimulation through touch.

Many people have reported cathartic experiences during a massage. Just as a massage unwinds tired and stressed muscles, it also may very well unwind repressed emotions that are not processed during a hectic day. In addition to reducing anxiety, massage has shown success in:

Fostering peace of mind and feeling of well-being

Promoting a relaxed state of mental alertness

Improving ability to monitor stress signals and respond appropriately

Enhancing creativity

Increased awareness of the mind-body connection

Improving employee performance and creating higher job satisfaction and morale
