I have been fortunate to live and work in Thailand where we have an amazing history of Thai massage which is very effective and more to the point very affordable... Just once a month can work wonders on your well being, but a lot of water should be consumed before and after to allow the toxins to flush from your system. Anyone who has the chance to obtain a Thai massage i urge them to do so... Absolutely agree with you….

We hardly move at the office chair. Stick in front of computer for hours. Stay in the same position for a long periods. Not having an exercise regularly. Some studies already proved that taking massage regularly will easy muscle tension and relax our mind. I believe that peoples lifestyle today affect how our body works.

An old research by a team at the University of Warwick surprisingly says that massage may help infants aged under six months sleep better, cry less and be less stressed. A mixed team of researchers from Warwick Medical School and the Institute of Education at the University of Warwick looked at nine studies of massage of young children covering a total of 598 infants aged under six months. The studies mainly involved infant massage by parents who were trained by health professionals in appropriate technique. Parents who wish to massage their babies can learn how to do this at locally run classes. One study also provided evidence that massage could help build better relationships between infants and mothers who had postnatal depression, although the reviewers said more research is needed to confirm this effect. One other study indicated that massage, eye contact and talking had a significant effect on growth and a significant reduction in stress, illnesses and clinic visits for infants receiving little tactile stimulation in an orphanage but this was an unusual set of circumstances and the other studies, where infants were receiving normal levels of tactile stimulation, found no effect on growth.
