The Benefits of Massage Ⅱ

BLOOD PRESSURE AND MASSAGE THERAPY

Massage therapy has not only been proven to reduce heart rate when the correct amount of pressure is applied, but it has also been proven to reduce, and help regulate, blood pressure.

Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against blood vessel walls. The heart pumps blood into the arteries, which distributes the blood throughout the body.

High blood pressure, also called hypertension, is dangerous because it makes the heart work harder in order to pump blood to the body. This contributes to hardening of the arteries and the development of heart failure. “Hypertensive adults who received regular biweekly massage sessions experienced less depression and hostility and showed a decrease in measured stress-hormone levels, according to a recent research study.”

Decrease Your Stress Levels

Most of the time when you think about a massage, you think about how it can help you

relax.

 Studies have shown that there is a link between muscle tension and stress, so massaging away the tension can be a great way to relieve your stress. The studies also showed that it can help reduce anxiety and depression. When you need to relax and deal with your stress levels, consider hopping onto a massage chair and enjoying the relaxing effects on your body.
