HEALTH BENEFITS OF MASSAGE
Most of us enjoy a massage but did you know that massage also has many health benefits for both your body and your mind.
Relieves muscle tension
Muscle tension causes extra stress on your muscles, negatively affecting posture and flexibility, and can be very painful. Massage relieves muscle tension by reducing pressure applied on joints and softening the connective tissue around muscles. With regular massage, you will experience less aches and pains, your posture will improve, and your body will become more flexible with a wider range of motion.
Reduces stress
Many of us experience significant stress due to our busy lives. This stress is not only an unpleasant feeling but also affects our behaviour and relationships, and can even compromise basic body functions. The calming sensations of a massage is an effective ways to reduce stress levels. After massage, you will feel more relaxed, emotionally balanced, and optimistic about your work and personal life.
Cures headaches
One of the side effects of stress is tension headaches. Hence, by reducing stress, massage can also reduce headaches. Also many sufferers headaches caused by other factors, and even more serious migraines, rely on massage to reduce the frequency and severity of their pain. If you suffer from headaches or migraines, you may also benefit from massage, especially focused on your head, neck and shoulders.
Improves sleep patterns
With our busy lives and digital distractions, many of us fail to sleep enough or with a regular healthy sleeping pattern. As well as leaving us feeling tired and moody, sleep deprivation can have serious psychological and physiological effects. Massage therapy promotes the release of serotonin and production of melatonin, which induces sleep, as well as reducing stress, which also makes it easier to sleep.
Enhances circulation
Issues with the circulatory system impair blood flow, which can cause problems with metabolism and fatigue, and even serious medical problems, such as heart attacks and strokes. Massage stimulates the flow of blood and lymph vessels, enhancing circulation and reducing toxins. This can improve metabolism and reduce the risk of more serious medical problems.
Lowers blood pressure
Another body function issue that can lead to serious medical problems is high blood pressure. Regular massage therapy can lead to lower blood pressure by releasing endorphins that relax the blood vessels and reducing the production of stress hormones.
Increased energy and focus
By clearing your mind, improving circulation and combating all kinds of medical and health problems, massage can also have positive effects on our levels of energy and focus.
