Research through the Buck Institute for Research on Aging and McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario indicates that massage therapy reduces inflammation of skeletal muscle acutely damaged through exercise.

The study provides evidence for the benefits of massage therapy for those with musculoskeletal injuries and potentially for those with inflammatory disease, according to the lead author of the research.

We love side-by-side massages! Whether they're with a partner, a partner in crime, or even a parent or sibling! Do you prefer a side-by-side massage or a solo massage?

Isn't it, though? 😉

A randomized controlled trial involving 52 healthy pregnant women examined whether aromatherapy massage offered immune-boosting benefits.

The women were split into two groups: one receiving 70 minutes of aromatherapy massage with 2% lavender essential oil every other week, the other no massage at all.

Researchers found that the group receiving aromatherapy massage showed significantly reduced levels of the stress hormone cortisol, and improved levels of other immune markers.

According to researchers, this study presents evidence that aromatherapy massage could significantly decrease stress and enhance immune function in pregnant women.

"The findings can guide clinicians or midwives in providing aromatherapy massage to women throughout the pregnancy," the study's authors wrote.

SLATE RIVER HOT STONE MASSAGE

Warm stones are used to open and flush the muscles while calming Swedish massage strokes soothe the mind and body. This treatment allows the muscles to have the release of a deep tissue massage without as much pressure. It's an incredibly therapeutic and deeply relaxing treatment that's perfect for the cool winter months.

Do you like hot stones with your massage?

In a recent study in the International Journal of Preventive Medicine, researchers found that massage therapy could serve as an effective intervention for controlling blood pressure in pre-hypertensive women. The study showed that the immediate results of lowered blood pressure lasted up to 72 hours after massage.

A separate study in the same publication had similar findings; those that received regular Swedish massage therapy over a period of four weeks had significantly lower blood pressure than those who did not have a massage.

Thank you, Sara.
