| Massage -The Natural Stress Reducer Stress not only interferes with your ability to enjoy life, but can also threaten your good health. Research indicates that unrelieved stress can impair the body´s immune system and aggravate many chronic ailments. Some common conditions such as insomnia, high blood pressure or breathing difficulties can be a direct results of excess stress. Because its effects are cumulative, managing stress becomes increasingly important with age.  Massage is one of the best known antidotes for stress. Reducing stress gives you more energy, improves you outlook on life and, in the process, reduces your likelihood of injury and illness. It can relieve symptoms in conditions that are aggravated by anxiety, such as asthma or insomnia. Massage can result in a deep sense of relaxation, which for many people is reason enough to have one. Massage elicits the body’s "relaxation response", a natural function of the nervous system that reverses the effects of unwanted stress on the body. Muscles that have been tensed for action relax, breathing slows and deepens, a racing heart and high blood pressure return toward normal. With regular massage therapy you can even improve your ability to relax on your own. This happens as the feeling of relaxation becomes familiar, helping you to recognize tension as it occurs and take measures to release it before it becomes a problem. As massage decreases your general level of tension, you may find yourself feeling pleasantly relaxed and rejuvenated. This can translate into increased energy for daily activities, more patience with life´s minor irritations, and a renewed enthusiasm for daily living. |
