Scientific proof of the benefits of massage
Evidence is showing that the more massage you can allow yourself, the better your
health. Massage as a healing tool has been around for thousands of years in many
cultures. Healers throughout time and throughout the world have instinctually and
independently developed a wide range of therapeutic techniques using touch. Many
are still in use today, and with good reason. We now have scientific proof of the
benefits of massage benefits ranging from treating chronic diseases and injuries to
alleviating the growing tensions of our modern lifestyles. Having a massage does more
than just relax your body and mind there are specific physiological and psychological
changes which occur, even more so when massage is utilized as a preventive,
frequent therapy and not simply mere luxury. Massage not only feels good, it may
cure what ails you.
Stress is responsible for 80 to 90 percent of disease, experts say. Massage and
bodywork are there to combat those frightening percentages by helping us remember
what it means to relax. The physical changes massage brings to your body can have a
positive effect in many areas of your life. Besides increasing relaxation and
decreasing anxiety, massage lowers blood pressure, increases circulation, improves
recovery from injury, helps you sleep better and can increase concentration. It
reduces fatigue and gives you more energy to handle stressful situations.
Massage is a perfect elixir for good health, but it can also provide an integration of
body and mind. By producing a meditative state or heightened awareness of living in
the present moment, massage can provide emotional and spiritual balance, bringing
with it true relaxation and peace.
The Touch Research Institute has conducted over 100 studies on the positive effects
of massage therapy on many functions and medical conditions in many different age
groups.
