5 Incredible Benefits of Massage

If you’re reading this, you’re probably already a big fan of massage therapy (so are we!). But just in case you didn't know: massage isn’t just a luxury treatment. It has countless positive effects on your mind and body. Today we’re going to walk you through a couple of reasons you’re making the right choice for your body every time you come to see us.

Massage is proven to reduce anxiety and depression.

Massage therapy is a great choice for those dealing with anxiety or depression, since it is proven to reduce stress hormones, like cortisol, and pump your system full of happy, calming hormones, like endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine. Continued massage therapy is a great way to improve your mood and deal with chronic anxiety.

Massage helps manage chronic muscle pain.

During massage therapy, your muscle fibers warm up due to increased circulation, causing muscle tensions to melt away. Regular massage therapy keeps muscles from becoming too tense and knotted. Massage is proven to be a natural alternative to painkillers in reducing inflammation and soreness in your muscles.

Massage is an excellent way to relieve headaches.

We’re sure you don’t need us to tell you that muscle tension can cause excruciating headaches. Good news! Studies show that massage, especially on the back, neck, and shoulders, undoubtedly reduces headache pain caused by muscle tension.

Massage is a winner at encouraging increased circulation in the body.

Healthy blood flow in the body is vital for optimum function, and many of us are lacking healthy blood circulation, especially those of us who spend hours in the car or at a desk every day. Massage therapy helps to get blood moving in the body, and this increased circulation has a myriad of health benefits, including faster muscle repair, a strengthened immune system, increased energy, and healthy skin and hair.

Massage promotes healthy sleeping habits.

Not only does massage ease muscle tension and anxiety, but it has a direct effect on the hormones that help you relax. Serotonin is an essential chemical that helps the body sleep, and massage therapy directly boosts its production. Massage therapy is a natural way to reset your circadian rhythm for healthy sleep patterns.
