When people think of massage therapy usually, the first thing that comes to mind is Stress Relief. When we are in daily stressful situations; work deadlines, issues at home, or even sitting in traffic or just watching TV news, our bodies produce more cortisol also known as the ‘stress hormone’. Too much cortisol can lead to sleeplessness, headaches and digestive problems along with tight sore muscles.
Regular Therapeutic Massage has shown to lower cortisol levels and heart rate, which helps your stressed body enter a more relax, rest and restorative mode sending the hormones needed to the body that can last long after the massage is over with improved mood, relaxation and the feeling of less stress.
