Pretty impressive list, eh? And it probably could still be added to. I'm sure you will agree that having a massage is at the very least going to make you feel a little better, if not a lot!! You will not experience all these effects in one go, and some of these effects are only temporary, so please invest in your health and make time to have a regular massage.
