Club Name : MassageforLife Description : This group is for those who believe that massage therapy is essential for your lifestyle. Therapeutic massage causes the body to release endorphins; the "feel good" chemicals released when you exercise or laugh. Endorphins make you feel relaxed, happy and stress-free after a good massage. Massage provides anything from soothing relaxation to deeper therapy for specific physical problems. Relieve your stress and anxiety. Increase the nourishing blood supply to your tissues. Improve your energy and alertness. Aid your recovery from pulled muscles or sprained ligaments. Ease many of the uncomfortable stresses of child bearing, including edema, backaches, and exhaustion. Relieve certain repetitive motion injuries related to on-the-job activities. Greatly reduce your pain if you suffer from such problems as temporal mandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ) or carpal tunnel syndrome. Compensate, at least in part, for lack of exercise and muscular contraction if you're a person who, because of age, injury, or illness, is forced to remain inactive. If you believe in the power of massage you are welcome to join this group., happy
