Regardless of age, massage therapy performed by a skilled and qualified therapist can reduce stress, cause relaxation and enhance feelings of well being. A good massage can stimulate the nerve endings in skin, release endorphins (the feel good hormones) and inhibit the stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline. Blood will circulate more efficiently, blood pressure will drop and heart rates will slow down.

Massage’s Impact on Cardiovascular Health

A regular massage regimen can reduce the risks associated with stress, such as cardiac arrhythmias (the heart pumps less effectively, so less blood reaches the brain and other vital organs). A number of long-term studies have shown that a consistent massage program can decrease diastolic and systolic blood pressure. And maintaining a healthy blood pressure can contribute to lowering the odds of one having a heart attack. Massage therapy releases contracted muscles and pushes venous blood towards the heart, easing the strain on the heart. In this way, massage offers a drug-free, non-invasive and humanistic approach for allowing the body to naturally heal itself.

Benefits of Massage Therapy You Didn’t Know About

It’s safe to say most of us are aware of the benefits of getting a good massage. At least, the more apparent benefits. Like soothing those sore muscles after a workout or that half-marathon you just finished. Or lowering your stress level after a long week grinding away at the daily grind. However, massage therapy has some excellent, less obvious benefits that might have you making a regular appointment with our massage therapists.

Did someone say beautiful hair –
And more of it. Yes. In fact, one study published in the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health suggests that massaging the scalp twice a week increases the flow of nutrients and oxygen to the hair follicles, resulting in thicker, healthier hair.

Lowers blood pressure –
Multiple studies reinforce the benefits of massage therapy for those suffering from hypertension. (high blood pressure) In fact, some studies have even found that regular massage therapy can decrease blood pressure for several days after.

Decreases migraines –
If you’ve ever had a migraine, you know you’d do just about anything to ease the pain that comes with one. Several studies have shown an increase in migraine-free days and reduced pain as a result of two 30-minute massages per week.

Builds your immune system –
Weekly massages may lower levels of the stress hormone – cortisol and increase the number of white blood cells, which gives a boost to your immune system.

Helps you get better sleep –
If you’ve ever enjoyed a relaxing massage, you’ve probably experienced the bliss of nearly falling asleep during a fantastic massage. However, reducing stress and promoting a state of deep relaxation through massage therapy has been shown to significantly improve overall sleep patterns.

Massage Therapy For Improved Sleep

When we don’t sleep properly it can cause havoc on our health. There’s an increased risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, and weight gain that can lead to obesity, and even shortened life expectancy. Poor sleep or insomnia can also contribute to existing mental health issues like depression, anxiety, and panic attacks.

There are a few things that can encourage better sleep, such as cutting down on caffeine and exercising, but nothing can lull you into a deep sleep like a good massage late in the day.

Top Reasons To Schedule A Massage

Number 1: Pain reduction. Massage can reduce acute, chronic, and joint pain. (Just ask someone with arthritis or sciatica.)

Number 2: Reduce stress. A massage can help lower daily stress and other related conditions, such as tension headaches. If you lead a busy, stressful life, incorporate massage into your routine and you’ll quickly feel a difference.

Number 3: Headache relief. A massage can help reduce tension headaches, mitigate migraine pain, and prevent future headaches.

Number 4: Increase flexibility. A massage improves tissue elasticity. Without a massage, joints and tendons will feel stiff and are more prone to injuries. (If you forget to stretch before exercising, you’ll know this is true.)

Number 5: Improve sleep. Massage can relax your body and mind, which can help you get some much-needed sleep. Give it a try if you have insomnia or irregular sleep patterns.

Number 6: Boost immunity. Regular sessions will increase the production of Killer T cells, which help our body combat viruses.

Number 7: Sharpen focus. A good massage will lower your heart rate and slow your nervous system down, allowing you to focus and pay attention better than before. People diagnosed with ADHD can also benefit.

Number 8: Enhance athletic performance. A massage can increase the productivity of muscles, tendons, and joints.

Number 9. Diminish depression and anxiety. Massage is a mood enhancer. A gentle touch can release hormones in your body, including serotonin (the happy chemical).

Number 10: Lessen post-operative pain. After surgery, massage ensures better blood and oxygen flow, helping the body heal faster. Studies show that massage not only helps you deal with pain but also reduces pain.

The Link Between Massage Therapy and Mental Health

Massage therapy isn’t just about relaxation or muscle relief. It’s a clinically supported approach that positively impacts your nervous system. Research shows that therapeutic massage can reduce cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and increase serotonin and dopamine, the hormones responsible for stabilizing mood and promoting well-being.

Here’s how massage therapy works to help reduce stress and anxiety:

Lowers Cortisol Levels: Cortisol is the body’s natural response to stress. Too much of it for too long can lead to insomnia, weight gain, and even heart issues. Massage therapy helps reduce cortisol, restoring balance.

Promotes Relaxation: A calm environment, soft music, and skilled touch can shift your body into a parasympathetic state, also called “rest and digest,” which allows your body to heal and your mind to reset.

Improves Circulation: Massage increases blood flow, which not only helps sore muscles but also supports detoxification and enhances brain function.

Reduces Physical Tension: When you’re stressed, your body tightens up. Regular massage releases that tension, preventing long-term muscular issues like neck pain and headaches.

The Benefits of Prenatal Massage

Therapeutic massage has been used for centuries to improve overall health, reduce stress, and relieve muscle tension. Research shows prenatal massage therapy can help reduce anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pains, and improve labor outcomes and newborn health. Prenatal massage therapy addresses different needs through various techniques, including Swedish Massage.

Swedish Massage aims to relax muscle tension and improve lymphatic and blood circulation by applying mild pressure to the body's muscle groups. Swedish Massage is the recommended massage method during pregnancy because it addresses many common discomforts associated with the skeletal and circulatory changes brought on by hormone shifts.

Massage Therapy Benefits For Diabetics:

Increased blood flow and circulation: Massage facilitates the efficient transport of oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.

Benefits Of Getting A Massage During Cold Season

When you get a massage, your lymphatic system is gently stimulated to increase its function in removing toxins from your body. This helps to cleanse the lymph nodes and boost immunity, helping you fight off any viruses or illnesses that may be going around in cold weather months.

Improve Your Skin’s Hydration

In winter, when the air is dry and cold, it’s more important than ever to keep your skin hydrated. A relaxation massage can be just the ticket to improve skin hydration and give you back that healthy glow.

See, one of the benefits of massage treatment is that it helps to improve blood circulation. This increased circulation brings more oxygen to the skin, which in turn improves skin hydration, stabilizes collagen in the skin, and assists in retaining a youthful appearance to your skin.

February is Heart Health Month, highlighting one of the leading causes of death among men and women in the United States, according to the CDC. But it’s important to take measures to maintain a healthy heart and cardiovascular system year-round..

Many people are aware of the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle to protect their heart health, but did you know that Massage Therapy can also play an important role? Massage therapy helps reduce internal and external stress on your body as well as alleviate anxiety and help to lower blood pressure. In fact, there are formal techniques that therapists can use to maintain and improve heart health.

It’s called therapy for a reason. Studies have shown that massage can increase blood flow, oxygen, nutrients, and red blood cells, as well as reduce your heart rate and lower your blood pressure. A therapeutic massage also helps increase endorphins, which gives a healthy boost to your cardiovascular system. In addition to helping lower your risk of developing certain heart diseases, massages can improve circulation and stimulate the lymphatic system.
