Recently, I came across a study/survey where they were trying to determine --more or less-- the same question. They asked people to answer whether or not they used spa services; massages, facials, and other "pampering" treatments and also to state their annual income range.

The results showed ...overwhelmingly... the people with the middle range income used spa services most.

Frankly, I'm not surprised. With the media attention given to maintaining good health and overall well-being, most people today try to take better care of themselves, and are willing to pay for spa treatments... regardless of income.

As the poster above stated-- if she needs to relax-- she gets a massage. I completely agree... And apart from inducing relaxation, massage therapy specifically has vast and numerous physiological benefits.

I certainly partake... and regularly!

Due to the health benefits. The power of the Human Touch can never be underestimated. Likewise a good massage can kick the lymph system into draining, therefore all those toxins go out. Remember the Lymphatic System is like the blood system, except it does not have a pump, heart. Instead it relies on the pumping of the blood to massage it to leave the body. Therefore massage given by a qualified person can have many benefits, skin, lymphatic, relaxation, circulation and so on. The Romans who marched and invaded Europe built Spas, where they could indulge in rest and relaxation if not the healing properties for cuts, wounds. Therefore this is nothing new. Mentally, when the body feels good, the mind benefits. Massage releases endorphins the happy chemical and therefore lifts the mind.
I use massage for Rheumatoid Arthritis, some use it to relieve pain, drain the lymphatic system and some use it to relax, induce the mood high.
