Massage is one of the most effective physical remedies for stress. By stimulating the blood flow it reduces muscular tension, and is particularly good for specially stress-prone areas of the body, such as back, neck and shoulders. A full body massage by a trained massage therapist offers guaranteed stress relief, especially if taken on a regular basis.
Massage can also be very effective at home, between partners - the sense of physical contact in itself reduces stress and creates a feeling of calm and trust, and this can extend to the person carrying out the massage as well as the recipient.
Some childcare experts advocate the use of massage as a way of soothing babies and consolidating the bonding process with parents.
