TOP 10 BENEFITS OF MASSAGE
Are massage chairs good for you? There has been a great deal of research into massage therapy and its benefits. If you have a massage chair of your own, enjoying a massage every day has many benefits for your physical and mental
1.Reduce Stress and Anxiety While Increasing Productivity and Alertness
Research shows that massage reduces stress on physical and psychological levels by lowering heart rate, blood pressure, cortisol levels, and insulin levels. Serotonin and dopamine are also released, which helps the body overcome chronic or habitual as well as acute or short term stress.
A well-known study by The University of Miami School of Medicine's Touch Research Institute found that 15 minutes in a massage chair enhances measurable EEG brain activity in adults. Additionally, these adults would have had lower work stress scores after receiving massage. This indicates that massage can be a good way to release any unpleasantness at work and relieve work stress, making the work more efficient afterwards
2.Improve Your Mood
Massage also increases the production of endorphins, your body's natural "feel good" chemicals. This helps balance the body's emotions and more.
3.Sleep Better
As mentioned above, massage therapy increases serotonin levels, which the brain converts into the sleep hormone, melatonin. So enjoy your chair before bed for a blissful night sleep
4.Improve Cardiovascular Health
Decades of research have shown that massage can be a powerful complementary therapy for reducing stress (as described above) and blood pressure, two major factors in heart disease. In fact, massage has been shown to acutely reduce blood pressure and heart rate in hypertensive women. Another study found that massage therapy can reduce pain, anxiety and muscle tension in patients undergoing heart surgery.
5.Manage Lower Back Pain
A recent study found that massage can be effective in relieving chronic persistent low back pain, according to research published in the Journal of Pain Medicine. Researchers observed more than 100 people with persistent back pain who were referred by their doctors to licensed massage therapists. Instead of the same massage techniques, the massage therapists were free to set up individualized massage plans for their patients.
Within 12 weeks, more than 50 percent of the subjects reported significant improvement in their back pain. three months later, with no further massage sessions, 75 percent of the people who reported initial improvement said they still felt better.
6.Lessen Headaches
Tension headaches are often caused by poor posture, a sore back or tight neck, or constantly straining your eyes. Massage improves blood flow and loosen tight muscles to reduce that pain and tension. A study published in the International Journal of Neuroscience found that massage reduces distress symptoms, pain, and sleep disturbances. Subjects in the study also experienced more headache free days and showed an increase in serotonin levels.
7. Release Endorphins and Remove Muscle Tension
A good massage releases endorphins and this means that any pain that you are feeling will be reduced.
What’s good is that endorphins have the ability to boost your immune response. Overall, they have the ability to make you feel better. The more you use your massage chair, the more muscle tension you’ll reduce and the more you’ll be able to correct your posture.
8.Be More Mobile
Massage therapy has been proven to improve flexibility and range of motion by working on muscles, connective tissues, tendons, ligaments, and joints. It also stimulates blood flow. This keeps your joints more fluid and less prone to injury.
9.Boost Immunity
Research indicates that massage may strengthen the immune system (especially during winter months) by increasing the activity level of the body's white blood cells, which fight viruses. The up in white blood cells is another result of a decrease in cortisol, which destroys natural killer cells.
10.Convenience
