Will massage help me? or will it hurt?

Depends: Most people feel better after a massage, however some people feel worse after deep tissue massage. Additionally, there is some evidence that massage can help strengthen your immune system.

Massage: Massage does not generally hurt, of course it depends on the skill of the practitioner and the reasons you are requesting massage.
