I know you're probably making a joke regarding the two words massage and therapist but there is a thing called an emotional release. Stress is stored in the body and many believe trauma is as well. There have been several times my wife has hit a particular spot in the body and it's caused someone to have an emotional response. Full on crying and accepting some sort of some trauma like sexual abuse that happened to them in the past. It's a really strange phenomenon.

I was being facetious for sure but I appreciate the extended explanation. We have a massage therapist come into the office once or twice a month and she does chair massages. Now I'm a bit nervous she's gonna hit a spot and all my childhood trauma is going to come flooding back and I'll have a nervous breakdown at work.

They do help though. I've never been fit but I always get the urge to stretch and be more active after I get a massage.
