How Massage Can Help Support Your Mental and Physical Health

Massage for Mental Health and Stress Management

Now, you might be thinking just how a massage will help with your mental health. After all, it's a psychological, not a physical state. Well, tension can often be the route causing a lot of stress in the body, usually found around the head and shoulders. Removing the pressure in this area, we take the stress-inducing pain along with it. Overworking the body can also lead to Stress or Tention induced headaches. These headaches can lead to neck stiffness, weakness, and numbness; massages lower the stress hormone levels known as cortisol. Cortisol can increase your blood pressure, make your body more susceptibility to infections and bruising, and even affect your memory.

Massage has also proven to support the body's energy levels. Relaxation plays a big part in this; resetting your mindset and offering yourself a needed time out can promote a healthier mentality. Who doesn't want a good night's rest? It plays an essential role in reducing stress, anxiety, and depression.

Don't believe us, well back in 2018 'Mayo Clinic' ran an experiment giving 38 nurses a chair massage once a week for a total of 2 and a half months. They wanted to see if it would reduce mental illness side effects, including headaches, fatigue, muscle pain, and sleep disorders. At the end of the test, all side effects had 'seriously diminished.' Proving the test an all-round success.

Massage for Physical Health

During social distancing protocols, you may have found your body lacking for the exercise levels it needs. From introducing Zoom fitness classes to maybe taking up some causal street running, your body may have had to take a turn away from your usual routine. We want to help you get back on the right track.

Whether you're at the peak level of your fitness game or don't participate that often, fitness can always benefit from a regular massage routine. As well as finding clarity for the mind, you can help your muscles receive the relaxing treatment it deserves. Let's go back to that pesky cortisol stress, as we mentioned earlier, one of the side effects of this happens to be high blood pressure. This narrowing of your arteries increases the resistance of your body's blood flow; long term, this can cause serious health concerns, including heart disease. Endorphins released throughout even a massage can relax your blood vessels and reduce adrenaline activity in your system. During this, your blood flow temporarily increases, helping your body aid and heal its inner workings.

Perhaps you've recently experienced a physical injury, or have prolonged joint pain. Well, massage can help you out with this as well - we told you the benefits were endless! Often, these pains can cause difficulties within your day to day life. Sitting down with one of our trained masseuses to explain in depth about what pain you're currently experiencing, we can work on a plan to help combat this issue at its cause. Again from this release of endorphins, stimulates the body to relieve these tensions.

Other benefits from massage include:
  • Enhanced nourishment of the skin and overall health
  • Improved flexibility and range of movement
  • Strengthens your bodies immunity
  • Enhancing the healing time and formation of scar tissue
  • Improved circulation
  • Reducing inflammation and fluid flow in the body

In summary, we understand that the overall relief found during your massage experience can be extremely beneficial for both mental and physical state. It's been trying times for us since the beginning of the year; we want to help you path your road to recovery.
