To the Anxious person, you are not alone, as these are very anxious times. Though I am not a masseuse, I do greatly appreciate the therapeutic effects that a good massage may elicit. Anxiety, whether acute or chronic can often be multifaceted in its origins and might best be addressed through multiple approaches that could include massage. There is also meditation, exercise, diet, and counseling as well as medication for the severely anxious - but without much more information on your situation, I would strongly suggest not going on medications without being professionally evaluated by a competent physician. Hope this helps.


Yes, 100%
Anxiety can come from many sources, usually physical, mental, emotional, spiritual etc. Massages will help relieve physical stress, which can sometimes reduce the overall load enough to make you feel better. Osteopathic Treatments are even more effective than massage at achieving this goal. Identifying sources of mental, emotional, and spiritual stress, and addressing those through counseling and lifestyle modifications is critical and often overlooked in treating anxiety.
