Mental Benefits
|
|
| We've all heard
it, said it, or thought it before, "I need a massage." Once
considered to be just hedonistic pampering for the rich and famous,
massage therapy is now finding enormous popularity among millions
of Americans. Massage therapy provides relief to people from all walks of life. The weekend athlete, the home gardener, the over stressed executive, secretaries. Waitresses, laborers, virtually anyone can feel a need for a massage therapy sooner or later. Numerous research studies conducted in the United States, Europe, and Asia have documented that far beyond simply "feeling good," massage therapy has an impressive range of physical, mental, and emotional benefits. |
| Massage Reduces the Effects of Stress |
| Up to 90% of
all visits to primary care physicians are for stress related complaints
such as headaches, backaches, neck pain, eyestrain, poor concentration,
anxiety. Depression, irritability, anger, high blood pressure, heart
disease, ulcers, as well as, physical and emotional exhaustion. Massage therapy has an amazing effect on your body's nervous system. When massage therapy activates your body's parasympathetic nervous system, it counteracts your body's negative response to stress, relaxing muscle tension and allowing your heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation to return to normal. Massage therapy also helps you become more aware of your body and your unconsciously held tension. As you become more aware of your body, you will begin to recognize tension as it builds during the day so that you can consciously release it before it can have a negative effect on your body. |
