Massage does so much more than release tight muscles and ease pain - it helps calm your nervous system, allowing your body to truly rest and recover.
When the parasympathetic response (your “rest and digest” state) activates, your heart rate slows, blood pressure lowers, and stress hormones decrease. At the same time, massage boosts feel-good hormones like serotonin and dopamine, helping you feel more relaxed, balanced, and at ease.
By softening muscles that may be compressing nerves and improving circulation, massage supports clearer communication between your brain and body, enhancing how you respond to stress, movement, and healing.
It’s one way your body reminds you: when you slow down, you recover well. 💫
