• Increased flexibility: Massage helps improve flexibility in muscles and joints, making movement easier and reducing the risk of injuries.
• Stress reduction: Massage helps reduce stress and anxiety, improving mental and emotional well-being.
• Faster recovery: Massage can aid in faster recovery from injuries by reducing inflammation and pain.
• Additionally, massage can help improve sleep, mood, and concentration.
