5. It’s Said Massages Can Remove Toxins. How does that help me? 

Marietta Massage will advise you to drink a lot of water before and after your appointment. The massage process is thought by some to release toxins. And further, that when your body is properly hydrated the bloodstream will release those, and flush them out through the kidneys. While whether this actually true remains contested, it is believed that massage can help boost your immune system. A better immune system is better equipped to fight environmental toxins. Less toxins in the body should lead to greater overall health.  Have more questions about the benefits of getting a massage? Contact us for more info at the number below. Ready to go?
