You are absolutely right about the benefits of massage, Chris!

Touch increases levels of oxytocin, the bonding hormone that improves our feeling of connection to others and decreases anxiety.

Massage increases relaxation by reducing levels of the stress hormone cortisol.

According to News in Health, a study published in 2012 suggests that massage impacts genes! It eases sore muscles after exercise by turning off genes associated with inflammation and turning on genes that help muscles heal.

Psychology Today reports that the person giving a massage experiences as great a reduction in the stress hormone cortisol as the person receiving the massage! I would agree, and add that endorphins are released for both parties. I experience feelings of connection, closeness, and uplifted mood when I give an Esalen relaxation massage. The shared experience between giver and receiver during a massage is very powerful!

Keep up the awesome work with this blog!

Hello! This question is for anyone who have been in the massage business for several years and I am seriously thinking about starting my own massage business to do on the side along with my full time job as extra income.

Can someone please tell me the pros and cons of owning a massage business?

What massage oils are the most cost effective and the best on the market? I'm trying to keep my overhead expenses low.

I've purchased a massage table and I will soon get certified.

What are the more common massage techniques that most clients prefer? I guess this would really depend on what the client is experiencing like stress vs. sore muscles vs. rehabilitation? I may not be asking my question clearly so help me out here please?

Are hot stones technique relevant form of relaxation or massage or is it? What are the benefits of hot stones technique?

I have great strong hands and I truly enjoy helping other people improve their wellness and to feel more rejuvenated and alive! Please email me at my private email for further details, thank you in advance!

Massage therapy is so beautiful! There are almost endless benefits and no side effects. Stands up pretty well to all the prescription drugs Americans are hooked on!
