Massage Therapy: Why So Popular - More Than Just Relaxation?
Nowadays, you can find more and more massage therapy clinics setting up their services in the Metro. Perhaps more and more people are getting into the healthy living trend that has taken over Hollywood and other places.
More than just being a stress and pain reliever, massage therapy has a lot more benefits to offer that actually contribute to a healthy lifestyle. Though not known to many, massage therapy lowers blood pressure, strengthens the immune system, facilitates faster recovery from injury and healing and even improves posture. Not only that, it also enhances attentiveness and flexibility in an individual. Certainly, these are things that lie beyond the relaxation it is known for. This is perhaps why massage therapy as an industry has become so big nowadays.
Through pressure, motion and/or vibration on different body-muscle parts, manually or with mechanical aids (1), massage therapy have the benefits to relaxes blood vessels and decreases systolic and diastolic blood pressure, decreases the level of cortisol or stress hormones and prevents anxiety and depression. These factors are found to be a vital part of reducing the CHD-risk as well as improving the subjective mind and body experience of being alive. So many individuals are found to become more dynamic and active after a treatment for many reasons. Massage also helps relax the muscles itself, allowing people to become more energized. This is some of the reason why people are so much into massage therapy. It rejuvenates the body from all the stress that we encounter everyday.
Since massage decreases one’s stress levels, it also lessens the possibility of an individual’s vulnerability to pathogens by increasing the body’s cytotoxic capacity. When the number of active natural killer cells increases, our body’s line of defense becomes stronger and more stable and becomes more effective in shielding us from illnesses.
Faster recovery from a body injury is another benefit of massage therapy because it relaxes the muscles and improves circulation of important body fluids making it easier for the body to deliver nutrients to vital organs and other parts of the body. It also initiates pain management when the injured part is undergoing treatment since it activates the parasympathetic nervous system causing/stimulating the production of endorphins which are natural pain killers thus speeding up the healing process.
Other than these good effects, massage therapy can correct bad posture which causes pain and stress in muscles that can lead to the body’s breakdown. It eases the tension in worn out muscles, soothes pressure points and increases the flexibility in joints by stimulating the production of body fluids and lubricants, so as to allow the body to position itself in a painless way. Thus, the individual can move freely and carry out daily tasks without hassle.
As shown in electroencephalogram (EEG) patterns, regular massage can also improve a person’s mathematical ability due to increased attentiveness because of the elimination of stress. The absence of stress imposes less pressure on an individual resulting to a more concentrated and focused mind, free of worries and distracting thoughts.
Massage therapy may be considered as a simple recreational activity however it does more than just restoring one’s vitality because it lessens or even eliminates the dangers imposed on a person’s health. It also helps an individual loosen up because it releases unwanted energy and leaves the person with a renewed outlook and refreshed senses.
Study results even shows that HIV patients who have regular massage therapy sessions notice an improvement in their condition. This proves that massage therapy is not a waste of time, rather it is, for many, an individual’s key to bring in an optimal mind and body-functioning into their lives.
