| Massage has been called the ultimate de-stressor. It calms, sooths, releases and reduces the effects of stress on the body.
How does it manage to do that?
Besides being wonderful and relaxing, it also has many physiclogal effects. One is to increase circulation which helps move waste products out of the tissues and into the blood stream for removal from the body. It also delivers more ozygen and fluids to the tissues. This helps reduce fatigue and muscle pain.
Massage helps lower blood pressure, at least temporarily. Blood pressure has been known to go down by 20 points following a treatment.
The other effect involves the nervous system by slowing the heart rate, lowering blood pressure and helping the dietary and urinary tracks.
So, the next time you get stressed, think about scheduling a massage. |
