Some of the symptoms of menopause: anxiety, fatigue, headaches, sore necks, backs and shoulders. Of course the most annoying, bothersome, are those hot flashes and the dreaded night sweats, not to mention insomnia.

Women turn to massage because it's a natural healthy solution for the challenges they have and the discomforts of menopause.
