Works

relaxation response from the nervous system,
massage can produce physical and emotional
benefits. This causes your heart and breathing
rates to slow down and your blood pressure and
stress hormones to decrease.

When inflammation causes the muscles in the back
to spasm and impede mobility, massage can help
reduce the pain by improving circulation,
relaxing muscles, increasing endorphins (the
feel-good chemicals) and improving sleep.
