“There are so many different things that can come about with massages. They can help any kind of injury that you may have. They can help with relaxation. They can help with blood circulation and improving sleep. There are so many benefits to massage – all you have to do is find the right therapist,” said Adriance, Owner of Kinetic Massage & Performance.
