Because: 1) its good sound advice, 2) supported by the medical community, 3) helps with blood flow and circulation, 4) rejuvenates the body, 5) and aids in relaxation and the reduction of stress. So you see its not just my suggestion or something just for athletes.
But I'm neither of those people. What's "misalignment?" What needs "adjustment?"
You never know. I too was a doubting Thomas until just by happenstance one of the therapist at the gym I was attending overheard my complaint to a mutual friend about a knot in my back and offered to correct it. Changed my whole opinion about the massage, how they work, and what they're good for. Don't knock it, until you've tried it.
