What Does It Involve?
Massage, in general, is a healing treatment that involves working with the soft tissues of the body with an aim to ease muscle tension and promote relaxation. The practice of using manual pressure to ease pain and promote relaxation is probably the oldest form of healing therapy in medical history. It is the manipulation of soft tissue to decrease hypertonicity or muscle tension.
The treatment also:
- Improves local blood circulation
- Decreases scar tissue and adhesions
- Improves flexibility
Decrease Stress Levels
Massage helps a lot in decreasing stress levels and promoting a feeling of well-being. By using various massage techniques, it helps to increase blood circulation and reduce muscle tension. Thus, it calms the nerves and provides you the feeling of relaxation and happiness. It also triggers the body to release the hormones such as dopamine, endorphins, and serotonin which help in lowering emotional and physical stress.
