MASSAGE THERAPY can have many physical and mental health benefits, including:

PAIN MANAGEMENT
Massage can help reduce pain and soreness, including from headaches, pinched nerves, and muscle tension.

IMPROVED CIRCULATION
Massage can increase blood flow to muscles, which can help reduce inflammation and promote healing. This can be especially beneficial for athletes or people who are physically active.

STRESS RELIEF
Massage can decrease cortisol, lower heart rate, and reduce blood pressure. It can also release serotonin and dopamine, which can lead to feelings of calmness and relaxation.

BETTER SLEEP
Massage can help improve sleep quality by encouraging the release of serotonin.

IMPROVED FLEXIBILITY
Massage can increase tissue elasticity, which can help relieve muscle tightness and tension.

BOOST IMMUNITY
Massage can increase white blood cell levels, which can help protect the body from disease and infection. The physical nature of massage can also flush toxins from tissue, which can help relax the tissue and increase blood flow.

throw away the idea
that healing is forgetting

the real result is no longer
reacting to old triggers
with the same intensity as before

the memories are still there
but they do not have
the same power over your mind

Help to keep your nervous system calm by adding massage therapy to your pregnancy care routine ✨️🤰 with HEALING TOUCH THERAPIES at Soul Shine Family Chiropractic

Your newborn having a calm nervous system!

Throughout pregnancy, maternal cortisol crosses the placenta to the fetus, since the fetus cannot produce it independently until later stages of gestation. Maternal cortisol stimulates the secretion of Corticotropin Release Hormone (CRH). CRH stimulates cortisol synthesis which means that high levels of cortisol crossing the placenta in early stages of fetal formation can alter programming of the HPA axis. This leads to the dysregulation of cortisol production in the fetus.

Stress during pregnancy has negative consequences on the fetus and newborn infant. The goal is early identification and prevention of high stress levels that could affect the intrauterine relationship between mother and fetus. This relationship is fundamental for the future health of both.

In babies, dysregulation of cortisol levels can cause symptoms like weakened immune function, belly aches, tiredness, loss of appetite, nausea, dehydration and skin conditions.

In kids, teenagers, and adults, dysregulation can cause symptoms like morning sluggishness, depression, anxiety, weakened immune function, fatigue, loss of resilience in stressful situations, brain fog, cravings for salty or sweet foods, and other vague symptoms.

To provide children with the best start possible, invest in the emotional wellbeing of their mothers before conception, and during and after pregnancy.
