| An article from Cheap Back, Neck, Foot and Shiatsu Massagers
| | Body massage achieves its benefits by stimulating the nerve endings in the skin and thus the release of endorphins, providing a feeling
of well being and relaxation and slowing the release of cortisol and adrenaline, thus reducing stress. It can slow the heart beat and
lower blood pressure. A more vigorous massage can ease tight muscles and stiff joints and stimulate blod circulation.
Stress Relief
Probably the major reason that people give for using body massage products is for stress release. In
the busy modern world many of us suffer from daily stress, which can result in tight neck and shoulder muscles, which in turn can cause
headaches and stiffness. Massaging the upper back and neck can release the tension causing the tight muscles and so relieve the stress.
Relieving stress can help with easing conditions exacerbated by stress and anxiety, like insomnia and asthma, so you sleep better and
wake more refreshed.
Relief of pain caused by sore muscles
Massage has many benefits in the treatment of sore muscles, a good massage
can relieve muscle fatigue. A massage after vigorous exercise increases the circulation, thus speeding up the release and elimination
of the waste products that build up in the muscles and cause the soreness
Joint Pain
Massage can improve circulation around the joints and stimulate the body to product more lubrication within the joints, thus promoting
greater joint flexibility and relieving pain caused by osteoarthritis
Relaxation
At the end of a busy working day with your mind still going over problems and your muscles stiff from sitting over a computer or a
steering wheel what better way to relax and calm the mind than to switch off and relax into a massage. | |
