The benefits are broad because focus is on your whole body. REDUCE STRESS AND ANXIETY
Holistic massages are very relaxing, using methods that will help you breathe deeply and enter a meditative-like state, relieving anxiety and stress that you may be holding. Massage, evokes several physiological effects that most commonly occur to help reduce stress. Increased endorphins, serotonin, tissue elasticity and dopamine, as well as a lowering in cortisol levels. When lacking positive hormones like endorphins, serotonin and dopamine, increased stress and anxiety often follows. Massage stimulates the body's natural production of positive hormones, their release within the body reduces stress and anxiety and improves stress-related sleep problems. Massage therapy has been proven to ease some physical conditions, by relaxing painful muscles, tendons and joints, massage that targets chronic pain reduces muscle tightness and increases range of movement. Massage can reduce muscle tightness by increasing blood flow, and with this decrease in tension, muscles can be worked to stretch to their full capacity, which improves tissue elasticity and increases the overall range of movement.
