What is the purpose of therapeutic (feel good) pain during massage to manage undesirable pain?

The purpose of therapeutic (feel good) pain during massage to maanage undesirable pain is to stimulate serotonin and endorphin release.

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays a role in regulating mood, sleep, and pain perception. Endorphins are natural pain -relieving substances produced by the body. When therapeutic pain is experienced during a massage, it can stimulate the release of serotonin and endorphins.

Serotonin helps to improve mood and induce a sense of well-being, while endorphins act as natural painkillers, reducing the perception of pain and promoting relaxation. By stimulating the release of these neurotransmitters, therapeutic pain during a massage can help manage and alleviate undesirable pain, promoting a more positive and pleasurable experience.

I operate as an Integrative Health Coach, Clinical Nutritionist, Psychotherapist, Reflexologist and Exercise Physiologist for many.

My patients and clients understand our goals for diabetes after being diagnosed with pre-diabetes and diabetes by their physician.

My patients/clients know have supplements, grocery list, meal plans, and exercise to keep us in normal blood sugar range. The goal is to go into diabetic remission.

A fasting blood sugar level of 99 mg/dL or lower is normal, 100 to 125 mg/dL indicates you have prediabetes, and 126 mg/dL or higher indicates you have diabetes.

If you had a fasting blood glucose test, a level of 70 to 99 mg/dL (3.9 and 5.5 mmol/L) is considered normal. If you had a random blood glucose test, a normal result depends on when you last ate. Most of the time, the blood glucose level will be 125 mg/dL (6.9 mmol/L) or lower.

A non- fasting blood sugar level less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) is normal. A reading of more than 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) after two hours means you have diabetes. A reading between 140 and 199 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L and 11.0 mmol/L) means you have prediabetes.

An unhealthy blood glucose level on a fasting test is above 100 mg/dL. If you have a blood glucose level between 100 and 125 mg/dL, you may have prediabetes. If your blood glucose level is 126 mg/dL or higher, you may have diabetes. An unhealthy blood glucose level on a non-fasting test is above 140 mg/dL.
