If you clicked on this article, you’re probably curious about the benefits of massage. Maybe, as you're reading this, you're trying to figure out why your shoulders hunch and your neck is so tight it feels like it might snap. Or perhaps you’re just one of those people who find massages pleasurable. Whether you’re craving a loving rubdown from someone you trust (including from yourself) or a professional massage therapy session, lots of people enjoy a good massage now and again.
