Did You Know....

The smallest muscles of the human body are present in the inner ear! 🤯

* Tensor Tympani and Stapedius are two muscles present in the inner ear that connect to the eardrum.

* These muscles also help to connect the eardrum to the inner ear.

* In addition to the smallest muscles, the inner ear also houses the smallest bones of the body, namely the Incus, Malleus, and Stapes.

Some benefits of the ears being massaged:

-Nerve sensations that resonate through the whole body.

-A feeling of happiness from transmitting positive endorphins.

-Enhanced immune system from stimulating the senses.

-Improved skin quality from stimulated skin.

-Relaxing sensations from the therapeutic touch of massage.

It's so cool how something so small can have such a great impact on the body and play such a huge role!

Next time you get a massage maybe request to have your ears massaged too!
