Body work therapy can help ease muscle pain and improves your body's circulation. A study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, found the benefits of body work therapy is just as effective as other methods of treatment for chronic back pain. Regular body work counteracts all that hard work, lifting or sitting that you do “Most individuals are dealing with some kind of postural stress. More often than not [that stress] tends to manifest in the shoulders and neck.” But desk workers beware. More advanced forms of postural stress show up as pain or weakness in the low back and gluteus caused by prolonged periods of sitting. Body work soothes anxiety and depression. People who received body work therapy regularly reported being less depressed and less angry. According to a study published in the International Journal of Neuroscience and a study published in the Journal of the American Academy & Psychiatry patients who were depressed and anxious were much more relaxed and happy with reduced stress levels. Body work boosts immunity by increasing white blood cell count, which plays a large role in defending the body from disease.
