Considering that stress is the leading cause of disease, investing in massage is an investment in your health.  Regular massage has many health benefits, including boosting your immune system and decreasing anxiety.  We are all so busy and stressed now days, with work and family obligations, that we don't take time out to rejuvinate ourselves.  When we feel under the weather, we just keep going instead of slowing down, relaxing, and resting. If we would all give ourselves just a fraction of the time we give our employers and families, we would be much healthier and happier!
