Benefits Of Massage

Performed by a licensed massage therapist, massage therapy involves using different pressures, movements and techniques to manipulate muscles and other soft tissues in your body. 

 

With a goal of slowing down your nervous system, massage therapy can be used to release stress and tension, provide relief from illness symptoms, heal injuries and support wellness. Though it is beneficial for any and everyone, massage therapy has been noted to help those with various conditions like cancer, heart disease, stomach problems and fibromyalgia. You should make sure you talk to your therapist about any medical issues prior to your first session.

 

Studies have found that feeling of calm after a massage can aid in reducing stress and anxiety. Your body has two nervous systems, one that drives your fight or flight response and the other that focuses on routine and day-to-day operations that lead to relaxation and rest. A massage increases the latter parasympathetic response, which can decrease feelings of anxiety. 

 

A massage can decrease cortisol and increase levels of serotonin as well as dopamine which stabilizes your mood. Studies have shown that massage therapy is beneficial for those suffering with insomnia related menopause and congestive heart failure.
