Massage doesn’t just feel good, it’s good for you! Research studies done at the University of Miami School of Medicine Touch Research Institute have documented many significant benefits of massage:
· Alleviates pain
· Reduces stress
· Improves immune function
· Facilitates healing
Massage has been shown to have a beneficial effect on key systems in the body, particularly the nervous system, levels of neuroendocrine substances, connective tissue, and circulation. These directly affect our “fight or flight” stress response, and the release of important chemicals such as cortisol (also known as the stress hormone) and serotonin. This is why massage can help us relax, improve our mood, sleep better, think more clearly, and so much more.
So, why wait to feel better? Treat yourself to a good massage this week…you’ll be glad you did.
