How Does Massage Help You Manage Stress?

It’s no secret that we live in a hectic world of stress. But sometimes we may not realize the effects it has on our bodies. By not managing it we allow our bodies to ravage themselves.

Our skin has millions of nerve receptors that are linked to our nervous system. Karlee Schelberg, one of Wellnesss One's team of Massage Therapists, notes that research has shown that when the skin is massaged, it causes stimulation and the release of chemicals in the brain like serotonin that help reduce stress, anxiety and depression.

Massage also boosts the body’s immune system, which can become weak from prolonged periods of stress. Tension can build up in your muscles, causing a reduction in circulation and nutrient delivery to the tissues. Manipulation of these soft tissues in a massage decreases muscular tension, increases the removal of metabolic waste and promotes nutrient delivery to healing tissue.

Therapeutic massage can significantly reduce stress. Enjoy the energy you once hade, improve your outlook on life and in the process boost your immune system. Together with modest changes in nutrition and activity levels, massage can be the start of a more refreshed body and mind for you.
