Studies have shown that massage therapy has positive mental health effects like the reduction of stress, anxiety, depression and aggression by lowering the stress-producing hormone, cortisol, and increasing dopamine levels. Many illnesses are stress-induced, and a massage triggers brainwave activity that promotes relaxation and sleep.
Even a brief massage can be a bit of a mini-vacation for the brain, and many clients report feeling more refreshed and alert, and able to tackle tasks more effectively later. Massage is something clients can do to have some measure of control over their mental and physical well-being and take care of themselves.
Massage has been further proven to manage pain due to injury, overuse and exercise, or from conditions like arthritis, headaches and migraines, PMS, fibromyalgia, cancer, multiple sclerosis and other ailments. Massage lowers blood pressure, increases range of motion, reduces stiffness and fatigue, increases alertness and improves blood circulation for faster healing.
ADDED TO THE LIST OF BENEFITS BROUGHT FORTH BY MASSAGE:
- Stretches connective tissues
- Increases red blood cell counts
- Relieves muscle cramps and spasms
- Improves posture
- Strengthens the immune system
Island Massage recommends that clients book massages every three to four weeks to notice results, and add to their preventative lifestyle, though the needs of each client varies from case to case.
An athlete may benefit from massages every two weeks or just before or after a sporting event to reduce the likelihood of injury and promote faster recovery. Someone with an acute or chronic condition may need frequent visits for a short period of time to address the issue. For example, someone with back, shoulder or hip pain may benefit from three sessions over the course of two weeks.
Even if you’re not looking for treatment from a physical ailment, consider giving yourself a break at the hands of another person -- literally. After all, zoning and zen-ing out for an hour isn’t needed -- it’s often required -- with life’s day to day frenetic activity.
