Why are massages necessary?

The 2 Massage Protocol (2MP)

Studies have demonstrated that massage therapy is a modality that generates significant improvements in brain performance, mood, your ability to fight stress, and in terms of your general wellness.

The benefits of a massage include a 31% reduction of cortisol (the fear hormone) levels; a 31%increase in dopamine (the neurotransmitter of motivation); a 28% elevation of serotonin (the neurochemical responsible for regulating anxiety and raising happiness); reduced muscle tension; improved pain relief via the sending of anti-inflammation messaging to muscle cells; and elevations in the signaling of those cells to make more mitochondria.

To apply The 2MP, lock two ninety-minute massages onto your weekly schedule. Because the things that get scheduled are the things that get done. And because vague plans yield vague performance. And because the smallest of applications really is better than the grandest of intentions. Virtuosos bring traction to their vision through their dedication to implementation.

You might say you’re a busy performer and can’t afford thetime to get two long massages every single week. In fact, given the provenand marvelous benefits of this protocol for your mental state, cognition, joyfulness, health and longevity, the truth is you can’t afford not to install thishabit.

Yes, two ninety-minute massages a week will cost a lot of money, stress effects will cost you more.
