Massage therapy offers a variety of benefits for stress relief. Here are some key points:
- Physical Relaxation: Massage helps relax tight muscles, reducing tension and discomfort that can contribute to stress.
- Release of Endorphins: The pressure applied during massage stimulates the release of endorphins, the body’s natural mood elevators, promoting a sense of well-being.
- Reduced Cortisol Levels: Studies show that massage can lower cortisol levels, the hormone associated with stress, helping to create a calmer state.
- Improved Circulation: Increased blood flow from massage enhances oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues, supporting overall health and relaxation.
Not only a wonderful way to spend an hour – but it’s also good for your health 😉
