Massage stretches and loosens muscle and connective tissue, improves blood and lymph flow, facilitates metabolic waste removal and nutrient delivery. Massage can stimulate the release of endorphins (the body's natural painkillers) into the brain and nervous system. The release of muscular tension also helps to balance the flow of life energy throughout the body. All these benefits contribute to overall health and well being.

	stress
	delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS)
	painful or tight muscles
