Less Stress, Better Number Crunching

The Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami School of Medicine has long reported the benefits of massage, including reduced stress levels.

And who doesn't have stress these days?

Touch can not only improve your physical health (who hasn't wanted a good massage after a grueling workout), it can improve your mental health as well.

Even the International Journal of Neuroscience found that massage has benefits - people who participated in a massage study completed math problems in less time than the control group. Even better, they made fewer mistakes!

Less stress and an easier time balancing the check book? Sounds like a good massage can make life a little more tolerable for all of us.
