The stress and anxiety of everyday life can take its toll on your body and mind, leading many people to talk to their doctors about prescription anxiety medications. Never think that you need prescription medications and other mind-altering substances to improve your mood and feel invigorated. There are many safe and effective methods of achieving a relaxed state that can ultimately have a healing effect. There is plenty of evidence that supports the benefits of just one massage session on the body and mind. Massage therapy, used on a regular basis, can help ease away the stress and help you heal from injury.
Massage for Stress and Anxiety
Massage therapy is founded on ancient healing principles that were understood by the ancient Egyptians, the Greeks, the Indians and also the Chinese. These cultures knew about the body and understood how to heal it, and they did it without the use of addictive medications and dangerous operations. They knew how to manipulate the muscles and nerves of the body in order to put the body and mind into a deeply relaxed state. This knowledge has been expanded upon in recent times, turning massage therapy into a science and art that seems more promising every time new research is conducted.
Massage therapy has a pleasing and relaxing effect because of the release of endorphins that takes place. Endorphins are types of neurotransmitters, which are chemicals the body releases during certain kinds of situations. Endorphins are associated with relieving stress and pain, so a sudden release of them can have a very relaxing effect. Massage therapy manipulates the human body into releasing huge quantities of these endorphins. The release of these chemicals can also force other healing mechanisms in the body to be activated.
Massage for Muscles
Massage therapy can also be applied for the healing of muscles and other tissues. Muscle strains, sprains and other forms of muscular injuries can be kneaded away with the hands of our highly skilled massage therapists. Depending on the level of care needed for muscular-related injuries, the therapy can be simple or become very advanced in nature. The muscles, as well as the skeletal system, can be manipulated to set the right conditions for healing from injuries and illnesses.
