The Magic of Touch
A weekly massage may seem an indulgence, but new research
suggests it can have major health benefits! Doctors have
started prescribing massage to help patients manage stress
and pain. Anyone who has rubbed a stiff neck knows intuitively
that massage relieves pain and muscle tension, but the benefits
don’t stop there. Scientists are now finding that
massage can reduce blood pressure, boost the immune system,
dampens harmful stress hormones such as serotonin. And you
can’t beat massage for relaxation. University of Miami’s
School of Medicine quotes “put massage in the same
category with proper diet and exercise as something that
helps maintain overall health”.
Many of the benefits stem directly from physical manipulation.
Skilled hands can press lactic acid out of muscles after
exercise, easing the pains of marathon runners and triathletes.
The effects aren’t always so straightforward. Massage
can also stimulate nerves that carry signals from the skin
and muscles to the brain, triggering changes throughout
the body.
These are just a few statements about massage out of Newsweek
April 6, 2998.
So, make massage part of your overall health maintenance
!! One massage treatment may not totally resolve your health
situation and may actually require follow up massage to
achieve your goal!
