There are so many benefits to massage therapy, one that keeps people coming back is not only how it lowers stress levels but it strengthens the immune system. Massages move around all the stagnant blood and lymph’s through out the body which filters metabolic waste and makes it so very tight muscles that aren’t getting enough blood flow to have new pathways for oxygenated blood. It increases the lymphocytes in your body and it decreases cortisol which is an immunosuppressor. Stress is known to raise the heart rate and raise blood pressure as well as causing head aches and sleep issues. Massage is also great for mental health because it finally gives the body and mind a chance to relax and reflect and unpack a stressful day or week. Strengthen your immune system and allow yourself to relax with a massage!
