Most of the people you know might think that massages have no real benefits. There are those who think their sole purpose is to provide an avenue for flirting. Its true that some folks affirm that getting a regular massage has plenty of benefits but, largely, the major benefits of massage are still being discovered. Have you been trying to decide whether a bi-weekly massage is worth it? The following are some benefits of getting a massage.

One thing about massage you should know about is that induces chemical changes in the brain. These chemical changes lower the stress and pain throughout your whole body. This is great news as it means that you do not necessarily have to massage the exact body part where you have pain. This means that if you dont like somebody touching, for example, your lower back, you should ask them to focus on somewhere you do feel at ease instead. The pressure put on those places signals your brain to change its chemical makeup. After a short while, the muscles in your lower back will loosen up too.

There are some experts who think that getting a regular massage can help you remain in a healthy state. There have been studies that show massage improves your immune system which makes it easier for you to ward off malady and disease. This occurs because the massage helps to increase the de-stressors. For instance, studies have proven that massage lowers the levels of cortisol in the body. Cortisol is caused by stress and it assails your bodys immune system so decreasing your stress levels can only help you stay healthy.

Do you know that massages can reduce your blood pressure? Additionally, it can bring down hypertension. This takes place because massage triggers the nervus vagus which is responsible for helping the brain regulate the levels of your blood pressure and other vital bodily functions. A study conducted in 2005 discovered that people who have hypertension showed a striking improvement in their condition after getting ten ten-minute massages over the course of a few weeks.

It is possible to give yourself a massage as well. Many people believe that they must be massaged by someone else but this isnt true. You dont have to be able to reach the exact spot that is hurting, you only have to be able to reach a point that is close to it. One example of this is an individual who suffers from carpal tunnel syndrome can help himself by massaging his own arms a few times per week.

There are a lot of benefits to getting a massage on a regular basis. Most individuals understand that it can be a relaxing experience but it can help treat a variety of medical conditions also. The real truth is that there is no one kind of massage that is more effective than the other. As long as you put sufficient pressure out to make indentations on the skin as you massage, you are giving (or receiving) a terrific massage. So why dont you try it out a few times and feel the benefits for yourself?
