> Anybody get regular messages (like, on a daily or every few days, basis?) and find it helps with depression and anxiety? How about a professional message? (Like the message-therapist type.)

> JayHey Jay, I don't get massages nearly as often as I should but I used to be a massage therapist. What studies have shown is that massage definitely helps reduce all the bad stress hormones in addition to keeping muscles relaxed. My thinking is; what could it hurt? It feels good, the human touch is important and it makes you feel better. And no one ever got off my table in a bad mood!
Give it a try!
Take care,
Mik
