Massage is comparable to a good workout routine, as it targets the fascia, the layer of connective tissue beneath the skin. It is effective for relieving trigger points, loosening tight muscles, and eliminating lactic acid to combat stiffness and soreness. Additionally, massage can enhance your mood, stimulate circulation, and address various medical and emotional issues, such as digestive problems and mental health concerns.
