 Massage can improve your blood circulation, allowing the oxygenated blood to move better to all extremities of the body. This is induced by the physical manipulation of soft tissue and the chemicals released due to the massage. Improving the blood circulation enhances the delivery of oxygen and nutriments to muscle cells. When blood circulation is improved, it assists the body to heal on a cellular level as nutrients are provided to all tissues. The muscles may also feel less sore and tense. That is why it is a good idea to have a professional massage after having gone for a long run, to avoid the soreness you may feel afterwards.

Depression and anxiety are becoming a global health problem, according to the World Health Organization. In fact, it’s estimated that depression is the leading cause of ill health and disability worldwide. Massage will not cure the condition but may help relieve the physical symptoms associated with it. If you suffer from depression or anxiety, regular massages can reduce your anxiety and be used together with other treatments as an effective method to balance mind, body and spirit.

Harvard Medical School explains that the massage helps to close the pain gate “by stimulating competing nerve fibers and impeding pain messages to and from the brain”. At the same time, the levels of proteins that stimulate the production of mitochondria – which provide the body with energy and speed muscle recovery – are increased. Massage triggers normal painkillers and the effect of massage in relieving pain is similar to using aspirin and ibuprofen. As Stanford neuroscientist Robert Sapolsky has said the short, sharp sensations of a good massage can make the brain forget about other aches.

Another often expressed benefit expressed by clients is that they SLEEP BETTER.
It has been well established that if you do not have a good night’s uninterrupted sleep or do not sleep enough for longer periods of time it may have quite dramatic effects on your mental, emotional and physical health. Healthy sleep allows the body and mind to finish processing what has gone on under the day and also helps with healing on a cellular level. It is well documented that professional massage has an effect on the body and helps it to fall asleep faster and also allows you to sleep longer. How can this be possible? Well the massage creates a deep relaxation and boosts the serotonin levels. This has a positive effect on your mind and puts you in a more relaxed and calm state and releases melatonin. As the massage induces you into another relaxed state, and helps you distance yourself from your worries or pain that you are used to feeling, sleep may come quicker. If you are interested in this benefit, come in for a professional massage. 24/11/2019 0 Comments Massage Benefits What really happens to your body when you get a massage?
In today’s society we experience a lot of moments that put stress in our lives and have an impact on our wellbeing - which may involve sleep problems, fatigue, anxiety, stress and irritability amongst some. Stress is an inevitable part of life. Today we all know the different effects that stress may have on our body and that massage can help to improve this state, but what is it that makes massage such an effective stress reliever and what really goes on in the body to have such positive effects. This week we will set out here on Instagram some explanations to how the body is impacted by massage. One of the first thing that massage springs to mind is RELAXATION The flow of rhythmic, sweeping movements that are used in massage that may also include light strokes and kneading have as a benefit that the body and mind is brought into a more relaxed state. The parasympathetic nervous system is activated and this is where the nervous system allows your body to relax and produce endorphins, those hormones that put you in a feel-good state and also reduce the production of cortisol (stress hormone). The relaxed state increases the levels of serotonin (chemical that positively affects emotions and thoughts) as the heart and breathing rate slow down, the blood pressure decreases and muscles relax. When your cortisol is decreased and serotonin increased, the body is more able to deal with pain, anxiety and sleep problems. Decreasing physical and emotional stress is optimal to improving overall health and wellbeing. If you are interested in this benefit, come in for a professional massage. |
