MASSAGE BENEFITS
MASSAGE REDUCES MUSCLE TENSION
Massage relaxes muscle tissue, which reduces painful contractions and spasms. Massage Therapy can also reduce nerve compression. When muscles are contracted, they sometimes compress the nerves around them. When these muscles are relaxed, the nerves are no longer compressed and operate more efficiently, improving muscle function.
STIMULATION OF THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
Massage stimulates the lymphatic system and increases lymph flow. A more efficient lymphatic system can reduce the effects of delayed onset muscle soreness and decrease swelling, muscular fatigue, weakness and pain.
MASSAGE IMPROVES CIRCULATION
The pressure created by the massage moves blood through the congested areas. The release of this same pressure causes new blood to flow in. The squeezing and pulling also flushes lactic acid from the muscles and improves the circulation.
MASSAGE CAN REDUCE STRESS HORMONES
Studies have shown that massage therapy can lower cortisol levels, increase dopamine and serotonin (our happy, feel-good hormones), and lower excitatory hormones like norepinephrine and epinephrine. Massage relieves mental stress and reduces anxiety levels by producing endorphin’s such as serotonin and dopamine which help with depression. Satisfies the need for touch, which fosters a feeling of well-being. Negative emotions like anxiety, and depression can sometimes manifest as physical symptoms.
INCREASED JOINT MOBILITY AND FLEXIBILITY
Massage is a safe, natural way to help relax the muscles and bring movement back into the joints.
It can also increase range of motion in the surrounding muscles, reduce swelling by moving fluid out of the area, and activate the muscles.
IMPROVED RECOVERY OF SOFT TISSUE INJURIES
Soft tissue injury is an umbrella term for injuries effecting muscles, tendons and/or ligaments primarily. Ignoring the swelling and pain associated with these injuries can lead to more serious problems. Massage therapy is a treatment that can help relieve the pain of soft tissue injuries and aid in faster recovery times.
IMPROVED SKIN TONE
Massage increases blood flow and aids the health of your immune system. Getting rid of toxins in the body allows more room for nutrients and with enhanced circulation comes improved skin tone and texture.
HEIGHTENED MENTAL ALERTNESS/RELAXATION
Massage promotes a more relaxed state of mental alertness; which can help to quiet the mind and allows you to enter a state of total relaxation. It relaxes the entire body, while grounding and connecting to your inner self.
