Massage & The Nervous System 🧠✨
Did you know your nervous system loves massage?
From the moment skilled hands touch your skin, your body begins shifting from “fight or flight” to “rest and restore.” Here’s how:
💆♀️ Calms the Stress Response
Massage lowers cortisol and tells your body it’s safe to relax.
🧘♂️ Activates the Parasympathetic Nervous System
This slows your heart rate, deepens your breath, and melts tension.
🔁 Improves Nervous System Regulation
Consistent sessions help your body switch more easily out of stress mode and into balance.
💤 Enhances Sleep & Recovery
With your system soothed, your body can repair, rebuild, and recharge.
If you’ve been feeling overstimulated, tense, or stuck in stress mode, a massage may be exactly what your nervous system needs.
