4. Flexibility: Regular massage can improve joint flexibility and range of motion.

5. Enhanced Skin Health: The rubbing and kneading during a massage can improve skin tone and texture.

6. Lymphatic System Support: Massage can stimulate the lymphatic system, aiding in the removal of toxins and waste from the body.

7. Stress Reduction: Reduced stress can have physical benefits, such as lower blood pressure and a strengthened immune system.

8. Better Sleep: Many people experience improved sleep quality and duration after a massage.
