How does massage work?
Have you ever felt euphoric and almost lightheaded after a good massage? Massage stimulates our body to release endorphins, serotonin and dopamine hormones. As they circulate through the body, they make us feel happier, better about ourselves and reduce anxiety. Some people feel that they become more productive after the massage.
It works to reduce stress by affecting our body’s chemistry. Stress is caused by high levels of cortisol and other stress hormones, and lower levels of serotonin and dopamine. Human touch is able to reverse this hormonal imbalance. The levels of cortisol and stress hormones drop after even one massage, and the levels of “feel good” hormones go up.
The newest research also showed that the pressure of the massage helps stimulate mitochondria. Those are tiny parts of every cell that are essential in healing. Activated mitochondria works on reducing pain by reducing inflammation and helps the body heal.
There is a lot that is still not known about how massage works, but we do know it does wonders to our clients.
