Yes; absolutely. That's one of the ways that massage benefits a patient, right there. If you are stressed and your digestive system and your immune system are shut down from being in fight or flight mode, then getting regular massages can help counter that at a very simple level. It can help your digestion and improve the function of your new system which is one of the ways to sort of maintain better health. And then when you get into some of the more advanced works that some therapists practice, what you would understand is that keeping the stress out of the muscle will also help with all kinds of health problems by helping that part of the body to maintain a higher level of natural healing.
