25 Reasons Why Massage
25 Reasons to Make Massage a Non-Negotiable Part of Your Self-Care Routine
When most people think of massage, they picture a special occasion — a spa day, a birthday treat, or a gift certificate from a loved one. But the truth is, massage is far more than a once-in-a-while indulgence.
Massage is one of the most effective, drug-free ways to care for your body and mind. Regular sessions can help you prevent injuries, manage pain, improve mobility, and keep stress levels in check. Just like brushing your teeth or exercising, massage works best when it’s part of your ongoing self-care plan — not just something you do when you “have time.”
Here are 25 powerful, science-backed reasons why keeping massage on your calendar is one of the best investments you can make in your health.
