Benefits of Massage

As we’ve discussed before, the benefits of massage are considerable, affecting a variety of indicators of wellness both for your body and your mind.

As a case in point, you may find massage is a very effective way to reduce anxiety, stress, and depression—many people with these conditions do.

This actually makes a great deal of sense, because what massage does to your body is encourage your muscle fibers to relax.

When we go through our daily lives, our muscle fibers tend to form knots through stress. The firm but gentle, rhythmic pressure of a massage can relax the muscle, unknot the fibers where they need to be unknotted, and generally help the muscle to let go of the strains and tensions we tend to experience from day to day.

In fact, getting a massage on a frequent basis is associated with a significant reduction in the stress hormone cortisol, which is connected with the health issues of high blood pressure (hypertension), a compromised immune system, and obesity.

Indeed, massage on a somewhat regular basis can stimulate the lymphatic system, which promotes the immune system. It also promotes healthy blood pressure.

Soothing tired, overworked, sore muscles is also good for pain. In fact, people with fibromyalgia, pain from migraines, and neck and back pain can all benefit from a good massage.

Some people believe massage releases endorphins—certainly there are indications this could be the case—and since endorphins function to alleviate pain in the body, that would make a great deal of sense in light of the reports of many people who experience pain relief after a massage.

You’re also likely to find that you sleep better after a massage. All that relaxation will help you get to sleep with less trouble at night, and you’ll likely awake feeling a great deal better than usual.

With these health benefits, it’s easy to see why massage also leads to enhanced productivity.

Given all of these health benefits, a massage is a very good thing to share with someone else.
