A massage offers benefits of which we are blind. Therefore, it is a no-brainer that people hardly go for one.
The main benefits of visiting a massage therapist are:
Relieving anxiety
With constant stresses and external pressures, it is only natural to worry. Worrying results in overusing a nerve called the sympathetic nerve.
This nerve is responsible for eliciting the fight or flight response. However, since you hardly use the antagonist to this nerve, it is unlikely to be as effective as the sympathetic nerve.
During a massage, the parasympathetic nerve responsible for blissfulness gets activated. Your body then experiences, knows, and later craves the calm feeling.
The frequency of eliciting this bliss will slowly make the parasympathetic nerve more active; or as active as the sympathetic nerve.
One massage might produce calmness that lasts up to 18 months as well as increase productivity.
A massage is also effective in relieving depression which is associated with anxiety.
Relax and Sleeping Better
The quality of sleep is affected by the amount of activity in the nervous system.
A massage takes off some load from the nervous system.
This load might trigger insomnia— a state that lowers or denies an individual quality sleep.
A lack of such sleep makes you more susceptible to pain and agitation. The contrary is also true.
Relaxation, just like quality sleep, is a massage benefit.
A massage therapist relaxes cancer patients undergoing either or both chemo or radiotherapy.
After receiving a massage, crying and stressed babies, too, calm down and might even sleep.
The relaxed and calm conditions induced after a massage allows the body to concentrate on healing rather than processing the former or anticipated crises.
As a consequence, a hormonal balance is likely to be achieved.
The formerly repressed hormones regulate immune cells, menstrual cycles, blood pressure and sugar, appetite, and sleep/wake cycles.
Poor relaxation and sleep cause fatigue— these lower your productivity.
Lower inflammation
As a result of joint soreness or injury, soft tissue restrictions form that triggers pain and causes knots. Permitting blood flow to the affected areas alleviates these symptoms.
A massage is sufficient to offer this blood flow.
Might the remedy to this inflammation be delayed, the symptoms will persist, and other problems will emerge. These problems include ligament complications and joint deterioration.
Bad posture causes lower back pains, lower back weakness, and shoulder and neck pains.
A Massage therapist helps lower these poor posture effects.
A massage, combined with learning the proper sitting posture, can help you work for long hours undistracted by discomfort.
Conclusion
The above benefits show the quality of life improvement if individuals take the time to get a massage.
Why don't you improve yours?
