Massage—Why Specifically Beneficial for Men Over 40:
Regardless of our age, we all want to look and feel our best. Massage for men over 40 contributes greatly to improved health and wellness.
It is identified that 40% of men over 40 will experience lethargy, depression and mood swings.
Massage therapy had been proven beneficial for the treatment of anxiety and depression.
Were you aware that the skin is the largest organ of the human body? Not only does the skin have the largest surface area of all the body organs but it also weighs the most, accounting for about 15% of body weight.
You will be personally and painfully aware that skin on men over 40 no longer has the elasticity it did when we were younger. Massage promotes good skin health by exfoliating dead skin cells, stimulating regeneration of collagen and elastin which is what makes skin youthful in appearance. Muscle tissue beneath the skin is tightened and firmed, improving suppleness and elasticity.
Men over 40 are likely frustrated that they are no longer able to lift as much weight in the gym or don’t have as much energy as they used to. Massage “oxygenates” muscle tissue, enabling it to grow fuller and stronger. And by flushing toxins and impurities from the body, massage has the potential to restore depleted energy.
You may be pleasantly surprised by the total relaxation experienced during massage, as well as the physiological benefits received thereafter.
