How Can Massage Help You?
Stress
Massage is one of the best known antidotes for stress. Reducing stress gives you more energy, improves your outlook on life, and in the process reduces your likelihood of injury and illness. Massage can also relieve symptoms of conditions that are aggravated by anxiety such as asthma or insomnia. Usually, anxiety is stored in some key areas of the body. By relieving your areas of tension, the mind can ‘let go’ of anxiety and experience a light, almost freeing sensation.
Injuries
Massage can help heal injuries such as tendinitis that develop over time, as well as ligament sprains or muscle strains caused by an accident. Massage reduces inflammation by increasing circulation, which removes waste products and brings nutrition to injured cells. Additionally, massage can limit scar formation in new injuries and can reduce or make more pliable scar tissue around old injuries.
What's Been Proven
Several published studies conducted at the Touch Research Institute have shown that regular massage can increase the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain, which can help relieve pain and alleviate depression. Regular massage can also increase the production of so-called natural killer cells, the front line of defense in the immune system.
