MASSAGE AND STRESS
Therapeutic massage can be very effective in the reversal of stress. It calms the nervous system, reduces blood pressure, lowers the heart rate, improves circulation, and is very soothing. Massage lowers the level of Cortisol, the stress hormone and increases levels of Serotonin which helps restore sleep patterns. Massage also releases the body's 'feel-good' hormones, endorphins, also the body's natural pain-killers. Inner feelings of tension and anxiety can be replaced by calm, tranquillity and a sense of emotional well-being. Therapeutic massage offers you the gift of time, space and nurturing touch. It is a chance to pause and come back to a more grounded and centred place. Many clients come to me at crucial times in their lives, and report that regular massage helps them to feel emotionally and physically stronger, and more able to meet with the challenges of everyday life
