Studies have also shown that massages can help to reduce pain and improve mood. Additionally, massages can help to improve the immune system and can even help to reduce certain symptoms of depression and anxiety. Ultimately, massages can be a great way to relax and improve overall health and wellbeing.

What are the disadvantages of massage?

Some of the potential disadvantages of massage therapy include skin irritation or bruising, pain, and discomfort at the massage site, and the risk of infection if massage is performed in an unsterile environment. Additionally, some people may experience a temporary increase in pain or discomfort after a massage session. Other risks associated with massage therapy include the potential for nerve damage, tissue damage, bruising, and the potential for bleeding if the massage is too aggressive.

How often should you get a massage?

The frequency of massage therapy is determined by your individual needs and preferences. Most people benefit from receiving a massage every 1-2 weeks. However, some people may find that more frequent massage sessions (2-3 times a week) are beneficial. Additionally, some people may find that receiving a massage only once a month is enough. It is important to listen to your body and discuss with your massage therapist the best plan for your situation.
