Massage Benefits
Massage is a therapeutic practice of manipulating the muscles and limbs to ease tension and reduce pain, as well as provide other health benefits.
There are various kinds of massages such as sports massage, deep tissue massage, trigger point massage and Swedish massage. Below are some of the benefits of massage therapy.
Relieves Stress:
Stress relief is one of the primary advantages of massage therapy. The clinical studies show that a 90-minute session can
help you in reducing lower heart rate, cholesterol levels and also insulin levels, while reducing stress. In reality, stress relief only can improve your strength and mental state. There are various benefits of stress relief such as relaxed muscles, lowered blood pressure, lowered heart rate and increased endorphins.
Massage Promotes Relaxation:
The body forms an unhealthy increase of hormones when we are trapped in meetings or traffic. Massage restricts levels of the “stress hormone” that can lead to headaches, digestive issues and sleeplessness. Massage causes a change in brain chemistry that can result in lasting feelings of rest, improved moods and also decreased stress. The benefits of relaxation are increases in creative thinking, calm, better mental attentiveness, a positive attitude and improved mental viewpoint.
Massage Improves Posture:
There are lots of daily tensions in the workplace such as back and neck tension.
Backs and necks hurt from sitting (slouching) at a computer or in meetings. Massage therapy is really helpful in helping you relax while loosening the tight muscles created by painful, poor posture. Massage therapy also helps you to improve bad posture, relieving joint tenderness and pressure points.
Improve Blood Circulation with Massage:
If a person has poor blood circulation he or she can suffer from various health problems or discomforts like pooling of the blood in extremities, resulting in cold hands, cold feet, fatigue and pain. Excess lactic acid in the muscles can also result. Proper flow of blood circulation helps you to relax tense muscles, providing much needed oxygen to the blood. There are various advantages of proper circulation such as improved body functions, naturally decreased blood pressure and increased in blood flow.
