  1. 5 Ways Regular Massage Can Help You Lead A Better Life Generally, massage is associated with luxury and when people think of massage, they consider it as an occasional treat or reward that is enjoyed once or twice a year. But the notion that massage is just a luxurious indulgence is not true. There are endless benefits of massage including helping with insomnia, muscle and joint pain, circulatory issues, anxiety, balancing emotions and so much more. It’s important to know that massage can help your body deal with numerous health conditions and that it’s much more than just a little ‘treat’ once in a while. Getting regular massage can help you establish and maintain a good well-being. How massage works? If you have ever had a massage, you know how amazing it feels. This feel-good emotion that we all have during a massage is because a hormone called endorphins, which is responsible for producing a feeling of happiness and wellbeing, is produced while stress causing hormones called norepinephrine, cortisol, and adrenaline are reduced significantly.

  2. For people who suffer from anxiety and depression, a massage can prove to be extremely beneficial. A massage relieves muscle tension and helps your body and mind to relax. While massage is not a permanent or sole treatment to treat your health problems, it can temporarily help reduce the symptoms of anxiety or depression, leaving the patient feeling relaxed, energized and happier. Benefits of getting regular massage: Immune system support Many studies have shown that regular massages reduce stress-related hormones which tend to lower immunity and thus help in improving the functionality of the immune system. There is definitely a myriad of changes that happen throughout your body during a massage therapy, all of which are proven to be beneficial. Stress management Today, stress is a part of our life. Almost every person including teenagers are over-stressed and overwhelmed with work, home, and family obligations. Thus, it becomes extremely crucial to reduce stress. And a massage therapy not only helps in relaxing the body and mind but also reduces the production of Cortisol, a stress causing hormone.

Adolescents who got few regular massages showed various positive changes including the feeling of happiness and better behavioral skills.

  4. Fibromyalgia Relief Another study conducted at the Touch Research Institutes showed that regular massages also help in alleviating fibromyalgia related pain. It was reported by the Journal of Clinical Rheumatology that massage therapy reduces stress hormones, depression and anxiety in patients suffering from fibromyalgia.

  5. Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) - A better alternative? TENS is a relatively new technique that uses sticky electric massage pads connected to a small, battery-operated device. An electric current is sent to your nerves that helps in reducing the pain. It also helps in relieving pain by increasing the production of natural painkillers called endorphins in the brain. TENS can be used at high frequency or low frequency. There are many TENS devices available in the market that come with a controller that allows you to set the frequency that best suits your body. TENS relieves acute as well as chronic pain and has also been proven to relieve osteoarthritis pain. TENS treatment is best for people who don’t have enough time to receive regular massage. It works better than the traditional massage and provides instant results.
