At "CranioSacral Therapy and Massage", massage is offered not only to address a wide array of health issues and medical conditions but also for providing deep rest and relaxation which in itself has far-reaching effects. Some of the many benefits that you can expect to receive from massage are:
1. It Releases Endorphins – Massage causes the brain to release endorphins or “feel good” chemicals which is why massage makes you feel so good. Endorphins have a “morphine like” quality which facilitates relaxation and relief from pain, anxiety, and stress!
2. It Boosts the Immune System - Massage improves the circulation of vital nutrients, facilitates the removal of toxins, as well as counteracts the effects of stress which as a result strengthens the immune system!
3. It Lowers Blood Pressure. - Massage is a great natural remedy to lower blood pressure.
4. It Releases Muscle Tension and Improves Mobility and Flexibility. Massage is renowned for its ability to alleviate muscle tension, and speed recovery for injuries.
5. It Improves Sleep. – Massage has been demonstrated to increase the amount of serotonin in the body which effects sleep, mood, and appetite among other functions. Combined with the increase in endorphins, which makes you feel good and in a relaxed mood, massage contributes to better and more restful sleep patterns. Massage is a healthy and substance-free choice for people suffering from insomnia or sleep deprivation.
6. Stress Relief - Massage takes you out of the “fight or flight” response – decreases the levels of stress hormones, such as cortisol, and increases serotonin (sleep modulator) thus significantly counteracting the effects of stress. Massage also decreases the heart rate, and stimulates the systems that were shut down when you were in the stress response, such as your immune system and digestive system. Your muscles relax, and stress levels go down.
Isn’t it great to know that something that “feels good”, also is really, really, really good for you?
