5/19/2018

Massage is an excellent self care tool to help you decompress from stress in your life.  Massage can help you and your muscles remember to relax.

Whether you have children, or work long hours, or a caregiver, taking  time out of a  busy schedule to decompress from stress and relax  is important. 

When people are busy and on the go on the time, their muscles can become tense and bound up especially if they don't have self care practices for stress relief and relaxation.
 

​

Why Does Massage Help To Decompress From Stress?


Massage therapy helps to relieve muscle tension.  Sometimes that muscle tension can cause pain.  By helping relieve muscle tension, massage can also help to relieve pain. 

Chronic stress can cause illness and dis-ease in the body so it's important to have therapeutic  ways like massage therapy to relieve stress and pain.  During a massage you can set aside the stress and drift into a calmer relaxed state.

While massage helps relieve muscle and fascia tension it also helps activate our parasympathetic nervous system, which is the rest and regeneration part of our body.   Because massage therapy does this it also helps lower blood pressure as well and helps with better digestion.  Massage therapy can also help strengthen the immune system.  In addition, therapeutic massage can help reduce the anxiety that can result from chronic stress.

Sometimes people are so busy giving to others that they don't take time for themselves.   During a massage you can set aside that time to focus on your self care and wellness.  When you focus on giving to yourself this way,  it helps you be able to give to others.  

So what is decompressing from stress?  It's when you can take the time to give to yourself and not think about the stressful events in your life.  It's the time when can  just focus on letting yourself relax and connect to the place of inner calm.
