There are myriad reasons why massage is so beneficial for the body (and mind) post-workout. Aside from how plain great it feels and the relaxation benefit—pretty sure we all could use some mandatory relaxation in our hectic lives, especially after a hard-hitting training sesh—massage is excellent for:
• Improving sleep
• Releasing toxins
• Maintaining healthy muscles
• Promoting blood circulation
Sleep Soundly
A massage post-workout can actually help you get better z’s come bedtime. Massage is not only an incredible way to relax and wind down after a hard training session, it helps to release serotonin—a precursor to melatonin, which is a hormone responsible for a great sleep.
