Massage therapy effectively lowers cortisol
(the primary stress hormone) levels by an average of 31% while simultaneously increasing "feel-good" neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. Regular sessions help regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, reducing chronic stress, anxiety, and muscle tension.
Key Findings on Massage and Cortisol:
Significant Reductions: Studies show cortisol levels can drop by up to 31% after a massage.
Boosts Neurotransmitters: In addition to lowering cortisol, massage increases serotonin by 28% and dopamine by 31%.
Physiological Impact: Massage stimulates pressure receptors under the skin, which triggers a cascade of events that reduce stress hormones and improve immune function.
Techniques: Methods like deep strokes, compression, and wringing are particularly effective at decreasing muscle tension and, consequently, cortisol.
OTHER BENEFITS
Reduces Blood Pressure: Massage helps to lower blood pressure, further mitigating the physical effects of stress.
Improves Sleep: By impacting serotonin, massage can help boost melatonin, improving sleep quality.
Relieves Muscle Tension: Deep tissue techniques reduce, muscular stress } tightness, and pain.
