Hello Balanced Life Family!
Some of you may be wondering if there’re really any health benefits gained from massage. Sure, we know massages feel good, but are there any health benefits? Well, there sure are! Research backs it up.
Massages help to counteract all the sitting that you do, if you have a desk job or some job that requires you to sit. Prolonged sitting can cause painful stress in the shoulders, neck and lower back. And yes, massage can relieve that stressful pain. It’s a natural pain reliever.
I bet you didn’t know that massage can help relieve depression. It has been reported that massage increases the level of serotonin in the brain which helps prevent or lessen depression. Feeling down? Treat yourself to a massage!
Massages reduce tension and induce relaxation, which relieves anxiety. Massage also relieves some of the physical symptoms of anxiety, such as rapid heart rate. In other words it can cause you to calm down.
Are you having trouble sleeping? Well a good massage just might be what you need. Anxiety, pain and depression often interfere with a good night’s sleep, and when massage helps relieve those conditions, it might also improve your sleep.
Now there are a number of different massages that’ll benefit your body and help to keep you in good health. Find one that suits you. You can go with a relative, best friend, spouse or alone. Just go, enjoy and get relief!
