Is massage therapy good for anxiety..!!

[Deryn 0]

Hey, my best friend Ellen has been experiencing anxiety problems. I believe that people will experience anxiety at a certain point in their life. I too had experienced such situations so, I didn't give much attention to his problems at first. Later I realized that he has some anxiety disorders because he has intense and excessive worry and fear about everyday situations. It completely interferes with his daily activities. He feels nervous and restless even for small things. When he got a problem, he fails to concentrate or think about anything else other than the present problem. I feel like he is worrying too much and I think it is interfering with his work, relationships and other parts of his life. I have been asking him to consult a doctor, but he is not ready to accept his problems. I have read an article saying massage therapy can reduce anxiety and depression problems. I found that strange, however, I thought I should ask here, Do massages help with anxiety? If so we have many centers for massage therapy in Mississauga, so I can take him there as soon as possible. If anyone here has any idea about anxiety and massage therapy, please share your suggestions and opinions on it. It would be a great help to me.
