Can A Daily Massage Be The Key To Rejuvenation?

While many people realize massages are good for you, the majority don't realize just how beneficial massages are. In fact, massage can have physical, emotional, and mental benefits. Yes, a massage can leave you feeling rejuvenated, but the benefits doesn't stop there. Soothe massage therapist Kayla Hall shared a few reasons why massage could be the answer to your problems.

Serotonin, Oxytocin, And Cortisol

"One of the top benefits of massage is the fact that it boosts levels of the hormones called serotonin and oxytocin while also combating the creation of the stress hormone cortisol," Kayla explained. "Serotonin sends your body a calming message and oxytocin makes you feel better overall. Massage helps to regulate these hormone levels, allowing you to destress and reach a place of calm."

For any of you that feel stress, anxiety, or depression, studies have shown massage may be able to help you. If you can incorporate regular massage in your life, it can be a very healthy activity for you.

Help With Chronic Pain

Chronic pain can come from sitting at a desk all day, having poor posture, or from an injury. Because massage helps increase blood flow throughout the entire body, it reduces inflammation and pain. Massage also helps to flush toxins from the muscles, which promotes healing from generalized muscle tension or injury. Anyone suffering from chronic pain should consider this added benefit of regular massage!

According to HealthLine, an estimated 50 million Americans are dealing with chronic pain - remember, that's the U.S. alone. If you include the whole world, we're talking about hundreds of thousands of people. 

If you do suffer from chronic pain, make sure you give massage a try, you may be surprised just how much it can help.

Sleep Is Important - VERY IMPORTANT

It's vital to get the right amount of sleep as your body relies on this to reset. "If you're having trouble falling asleep, you won't feel 100 percent," Kayla suggest. 

Pressure applied during a massage triggers the creation of melatonin, the hormone your body releases for quality sleep. If you suffer from insomnia, get a Soothe massage right before bed. Once the massage is over you can get into bed and drift right to sleep. Because better sleep boosts our immune systems, improves focus and productivity, and makes us less likely to suffer from depression are all benefits of regular massage therapy.

Mobile Massage At Your Service

Would you consider a massage if a professional massage therapist came to your house? It may sound too good to be true, but it's not - you can get a massage at home! Soothe is one of the fastest growing massage and wellness companies in the world. Even better, their mobile massage service delivers massage to your home or at your work.
