Good morning from Dr. Weil 02.21.2004

Today's tip: Relaxing with massage

      Most people are aware of the relaxation benefits massage
      offers, but it can be therapeutic, too. There is evidence that
      massage can improve breathing among asthmatic children,
      lower levels of stress hormones and help relieve tension
      headaches caused by contracting head, neck or facial
      muscles. Part of the reason massage may work as well as it
      does for so many problems is that people expect it to. This is
      yet another example of the powerful connection between the 
      mind and body - treatment that succeeds simply because
      patients believe in it. For many of us, massage can simply be
      wonderfully relaxing, but to gain its full benefit, you need to
      surrender your body, and have faith in the touch of a skilled
      therapist.
