There’s no denying a massage is relaxing – that is unless you start to feel guilty for over indulging yourself. But the feelings of guilt may be put aside because massage therapy isn’t just a way to feel great… it’s beneficial for your health. Research has shown that massage therapy is an effective complement to medical care as it provides relief for people suffering from muscle soreness after exercise, back pain, stress, stiff neck and shoulders. The positive effects of massage include improved blood flow resulting in better brain power, improved mood, reduced anxiety, and even reduced stress induced illnesses. It can even ward off colds since it helps boost immune function. If you are looking to improve your mind and health and only the best will do, check out Cartier Raine Lifestyle Spa, located inside the Spa City Salon in downtown White Sulphur Springs (across from 50 East Restaurant).
