Research has shown that massage can reduce heart rate, lower blood pressure and increase blood circulation and lymph flow. It also relaxes muscles, improves range of motion and increases endorphins, which all can enhance medical treatment. Therapeutic massage does not increase muscle strength, although it can stimulate weak and inactive muscles, which helps compensate for lack of exercise and inactivity caused by illness or injury. Massage can help treat stress-related physical conditions, including: Anxiety and depression Fatigue Headaches and migraines Pain, including muscle tension, back, shoulder and neck pain Repetitive stress injuries
