A massage is relaxing, and makes you feel great, but did you know that It’s also
good for you? That’s what doctors are now saying. Massage relieves pain and anxiety, eases
depression and speeds up recovery from medical problems.
Research has shown that people of all ages benefit from touch. Pre-mature infants
who are held develop faster than those left alone, and healthy babies who get a lot of physical
contact cry less and sleep better. Researchers are not sure why this occurs but they have also
found out that touch can slow heart rate, lower blood pressure and increase levels of
seratonin, the brain chemical that is linked to well-being . It also decreases levels of the stress
hormone cortisol, and this in turn increases your resistance to illness.
Massage also speeds up healing. Bone-marrow transplant patients who were given
massage had better neurological function than those who weren’t. Futhermore, massage
reduced pain by 37% in patients with chronic muscle aches.
Giving someone a massage may be as good as getting one. A study conducted by the
university of Miami found that mothers suffering from depression felt better after massaging
their infants. In that same study, elderly volunteers who massaged infants reported feeling less
anxcious and depressed.
It even works when you do it yourself; 43% of headache suffers reported getting
relief after massaging their temples and neck and smokers who were taught self-massaging
while trying to quit felt less anxious and smoked less.
