	A Gift of Massage Takes The Stress Out of Giving

Picking out the perfect gift can be a stressful experience no matter who it's for. Is it the correct size? Is it the right color? It's enough to make even the seasoned shopper nervous.

But there is a way to avoid all the worry and anxiety: Consider giving the gift of massage.

Gift certificates for massage therapy give friends or loved ones the chance to escape the stress of daily life, while also enhancing their overall health. Several studies have shown that massage can help relieve stress, reduce heart rate, lower blood pressure and boost the body's immune system.

According to a 2005 survey of 1,000 American adults sponsored by Brookstone Inc., 52 percent said they would like to receive a massage product or service as a gift.

A recent survey by the American Massage Therapy Association found that approximately one in five adults in the United States received a massage from a massage therapist within the previous 12 months, and 90 percent believe it's beneficial to your health.

Whether your gift recipient has never received a massage or frequently enjoys one, you can be sure you are not just giving a massage - you are giving the gift of health and well-being.

Massage therapy is available at more locations than ever before, and gift certificates are offered at many locations. Massage therapy is available at spas, fitness centers, massage therapists' offices or even in your own home.

A qualified massage therapist can work with you to choose the perfect massage gift to fit the needs of the recipient.

AMTA's "Find a Massage Therapist" national locator service offers a free searchable database of qualified massage therapists across the country. It allows you to search for a massage therapist by city, state, zip code or type of massage.
