Massage can reduce pain

Cherkinas compares massage with other treatment methods: "We found that the benefits of massage are as great as other effective treatment methods: drugs, acupuncture, physical exercises and yoga."
Massage also reduces the pain of osteoarthritis patients, the most common joint disease.
Massage can improve your sleep
Massage is a relaxing therapy, so it can also improve sleep quality: "Massage helps people get better rest, meaning they sleep longer in deep sleep, or otherwise in the recovery phase, where your body barely moves," says Tiffany Field, a professor at the University of Miami School of Medicine.
One study of fibromyalgia sufferers found that 30 min. duration massage 3 times a week (subjects were given massages for 5 weeks) the patients' sleep was extended by almost an hour, and the sleep itself was deeper and of better quality.
Massage can protect against colds
There are several studies that show that massages boost immunity. in 2010 a study was conducted - believed to be the most comprehensive study of the effects of massage on the immune system. It was established that 45 min. prolonged Swedish massage resulted in significant increases in white blood cells and lymphocytes changes, helping the body to protect itself from infections and microorganisms.
Massage also stimulates brain activity
In at least one study, massage has also been linked to better mathematical and mental abilities. in 1996 a group of adult subjects solved math problems faster and faster after 15 minutes spent in a massage chair more precisely, compared to a group of adults who were asked that 15 min. just sit back and relax.
