Musicians
For musicians, massage can be extremely important because playing and performing can accumulate a lot of stress and tension in both the body and mind. Massage can help alleviate these tensions, relax muscles, improve circulation, and reduce overall stress. For some musicians, massage can be part of the process of preparing for and recovering from performances.
