Aging occurs at many levels within the body. Some are biological and some are environmental. Science is furiously studying the biological causes and at some point may have some breakthroughs. Environmentally aging is influenced by the levels of stress and your commitment to exercise. Stress puts the body on high alert. The body is ready for action with the muscles tense and the major organs prepared to support the body. Exercise or more appropriately the lack of exercise makes the body less able to withstand the forces of nature put upon us. Both of these factors start to show the wear and tear on the body via the skin.
We seem to come under stress from everywhere. Some of caused by external factors like our boss. Some of it caused by internal factors like us wanting to achieve something. Both of these causes come from mental stress. We put pressure on ourselves that is the product of our thoughts. As we think these thoughts, our body reacts as if it is under physical stress from harm. The body mobilizes itself to prepare for a fight or to run away. The major organs kick into overdrive and the legs and arms are activated for action. Trouble is we have no physical action. The stress causes chemicals to be released in our bodies, but they are not given a physical release. This can cause higher levels of toxins in the body to build up.
Take a moment and really look at your reaction to stress. We come under pressure from a due date or other deadline. We put more pressure on ourselves to meet it. This pressure is stress. Stress helps us build up the energy to overcome the challenge, but not without a cost. The stress causes a chemical reaction in our body to provide the energy. These chemicals do there part, but waste products result. These waste products are toxins. Our blood and lymph systems flush out many of these toxins, but others are still trapped in the muscles. Massage therapy is a proven technique to flush out these toxins from the muscles. Many of the top massage chairs have massage therapies such as shiatsu or Swedish which both flush out toxins and also induce relaxation.

While the massage chair stimulates your trigger points in your feet, it is also performing a full body massage. Now your body and mind begin to relax.
