Why Should I Get a Massage?

When you think of getting a massage what image pops into your mind?  Do you see a hot stone massage at a fancy spa? Maybe a table massage on a secluded beach? Most people imagine some scenario where they are being pampered in an exotic location. But getting a massage is only for the rich and famous, right?

Therapeutic massage is so much more!  Research supports how massage can help with a variety of conditions. Of course, there is nothing wrong with a little pampering either!
