The short answer to the question; ”Does massage help with stress?”, is “YES”, it does, in so many amazing ways.
Biochemical and hormonal changes occur when your body is under stress. This stress chemistry can damage cells through inflammation. This will create waste and clog up the lymphatic system, which can cause physical problems like sleeplessness, headaches, fatigue, tension in your neck and shoulders, and digestive issues. Through gently pulling and squeezing the muscles during a relaxation massage, the lymphatic system is supported in flowing the lymph along. Lymph is a pale fluid inside the lymphatic system that removes bacteria from tissues, and is an important part of your immune system, it is the responsibility of the lymph fluid to carry the body's waste products away. Lymph eventually becomes plasma, which is then filtered through the kidneys. A full body relaxation massage is a great option to help you reduce your stress. It helps to loosen up your body and mind, calm your nervous system, reduce your tension and anxiety, and improves your blood circulation. It also balances your stress hormones and increases your happy and love hormones, thereby lowering your heart rate, improving your mood and your overall outlook on life.
