Stress Relief with Massage Therapy
The stress response
Under stress, your body really has just one response: it mobilizes to fight or flee. Your nervous system becomes highly activated and hormones such as adrenaline prepare your body to respond to an emergency. Muscles tense for action, heart rate and blood pressure increase, breathing becomes rapid and shallow, digestion and other maintenance functions are put on hold.
Therapeutic massage is a wonderful tool for helping you manage stress. A deeply relaxing massage can give you a welcome break and help you feel better physically and mentally.
Renewing your energy reserves
When you are overtaxed and running on empty, massage can help you recharge and restore your energy and creativity
Massage relieves painful muscle tension that saps your energy.
Massage increases circulation, clearing out accumulated stress hormones and waste products that can make you feel tired and sore.
Quality of restful sleep usually improves in the the days following a massage. This gives your body a chance to further repair and restore your energy levels.
Massage supports you psychologically by giving you a measure of control. Just knowing there is something you can do to take care of yourself helps you feel less at the mercy of external events. You may even experience relief from emotional symptoms such as anxiety or depression, along with a renewed sense of optimism.
