The Holidays are coming up and so is holiday stress. Massage can be very helpful for stress around the holidays. Here’s how:
Massage helps with holiday stress by:
Reducing muscle tension: Stress often makes your shoulders, neck, and back tighten up. Massage helps relax those areas.
Lowering stress hormones: Massage can decrease cortisol (a stress hormone) and promote relaxation.
Improving sleep: Many people sleep better after a massage, which is especially helpful during busy holiday schedules.
Boosts mood: Massage increases serotonin and dopamine, which can improve mood and reduce anxiety.
Provides a mental break: Having a quiet hour to yourself can help reset your mind during hectic times.
