Health Benefits of Massage at Lizard Yoga

Massage therapy supports not just your body, but your mind and spirit too. It’s a powerful tool for reducing anxiety, enhancing sleep, and promoting emotional balance.
The massage industry is booming, and for good reason — more people are recognizing the importance of incorporating massage into their health routines. Massage therapy can even benefit children; baby massage, for example, helps reduce colic, improve sleep, and strengthen the parent-child bond.
For maximum health benefits, it’s important to work with a trained, certified massage therapist who understands your body and tailors each session to your needs. Most experts recommend massage every three to four weeks, with sessions lasting 60 to 90 minutes to achieve the best results.
The benefits of massage extend well beyond the session, leaving you feeling restored for days.
