What do you guys think about getting massages to relieve anxiety?

I think it's an excellent idea personally. Whatever takes your mind off your anxiety outside of alcohol and drugs is a good thing in my opinion. I think getting massages can be very therapeutic. Give it a shot, and see how it works. I can't see it being a negative. It's either going to keep it the same or decrease your anxiety. Either way, you've got nothing to lose!

I think it does work and at least it is worth a shot. I often find myself feeling stressed without noticing it and when I get to relax I figure out that most of it is coming from feeling tired physically, so I imagine getting massages would help with this as when you are feeling relaxed you are less likely to turn to other less favorable methods to calm yourself down.

Massages are terrific for helping you relax and let go of anxiety. I wish I could afford to have them on a regular basis.

When I get anxious my whole body tends to stiffen and go tense, but while you're getting the massage and a few hours after it, it certainly works like a charm. It relaxes you're whole body and it does good to your mind. The relaxation might not last for long but at least it helps for a bit, you know. The effects may be different for everyone but in general, it does change your mood (and for the better).

I believe it's an awesome idea! At least for a while you will be in peace and relaxed, so that's good. I never went to a massage but sometimes I ask my brother to do me one and that really feels good, so I imagine one made by a professional is even better. Go for it, at least you can try and check if it helps with with your anxiety. Good luck!
