Hello Friends, |

Shout-out to us who learned about the importance of massage through experience. Infact, just like many others today, I was very ignorant about the possible impact of massage on the body.
Although I saw my parents priotized massage therapy over paracetamol(medical tablet for mild pain) for the relief of their headaches, I still overlooked it's important until it was strongly recommended for me at one point of my life.

Infact, I got to know by experience that massage doesn't just benefit us physically but it equally benefits us mentally too. This made me to become obsessed with massaging my body, and It got to a point where I preferred to be massaged than to go for regular workouts, lol.

Many people do not even know what a massage therapy really is, and even more people have not experienced it to know how effective it is.
A massage session refers to a point where your body/muscles is been rubbed and pressed with the hand, in a certain way to enhance relaxation and relieve of pain.
Depending on the pressure applied, massage can be a little bit painful and satisfying at the same time. Infact, when I initially started going for massages, I was more worried about the little pain that comes with it, lol.
I usually would moan to the pain and endure it regardless, until I got conversant with the pressure of the massage, and now I only crave for it even more.
I have experienced the local massages, and I have equally gone for massage therapies. I can confidently say that massages can do wonders even more than some medical prescriptions by the medical doctors.
From injuries, to sickness and stress, massages are highly recommended to relive and provide quicker results to our bodies.
