Benefits of Massage Therapy that will change your life!

Our health comprises multiple aspects; I will be talking about the benefits of massage therapy, physically, mentally, and emotionally. As humans, we are dynamic beings, which requires consideration when determining what health practices we should do. 

Physically massage therapy relaxes the body; this is a loaded statement. Relaxing the body also calms the nervous system, lowers blood pressure, reduces heart rate, and slows respiration. When we take a step back and look at the modern lifestyle, we can all use this level of relaxation in our lives. 

On the tissue level, massage therapy stretches connective tissue, reduces chronic pain, improves muscle tone, relieves cramped muscles, increases tissue metabolism, speeds the elimination of metabolic waste, and increases blood and lymph circulation. Increased blood flow to the tissues in the body spreads all the oxygenated love throughout your body, strengthening your immune system and allowing faster recovery from injury and illness.

The other aspects we will examine are mental and emotional; massage therapy reduces mental stress, promotes sleep quality, improves productivity, and induces mental relaxation. Then looking at the emotional side, massage therapy nurtures and stimulates emotional growth, enhancing self-image, providing a feeling of well-being, and reducing overall anxiety. 

These are all essential to our health and wellness; all you need to do is get a massage!
