Massage Benefits Everyone

Did you know?
Massage lowers cortisol, increased white blood cells, rise in oxytocin and dopamine levels.
Researchers at Cedars-Sinai medical center found very positive results when their participants received deep tissue massage for only 45 minutes. After taking blood samples before and after their massages the participants were studied and researchers found significant metabolic changes after only one massage and within one hour. The results were a marked decrease in the stress hormone cortisol and showed a dramatic increase in the number of white blood cells that support your body’s immunity. There was also a significant rise in the brain chemical oxytocin and dopamine, both hormones that are associated with contentment.

Massage reduces inflammation and muscle recovery more than non steroidal  anti-inflammatory drugs.
A New York Times article discussed that Crane and colleagues studied the effects massage therapy on muscular-skeletal tissue and its pain relieving effects. Each participant exercised to the point of exhaustion to  create exercise-induced muscle damage. Immediately following the exercise, participants received massage for 10 minutes. Unique to this study, muscle biopsies were acquired. Findings indicated massage therapy reduced inflammation by 65% through production of inflammatory cytokines; and promoted mitochondrial biogenesis, promoting enhanced recovery.The effects of massage are similar to the same mechanism as conventional drugs, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) without all the side effects.

Weight loss: You burn an average of 100 calories by receiving a one hour deep tissue massage!
At John Hopkins researchers found that the subcutaneous fat capsule can be broken down and absorbed as waste. Massage significantly lowers cortisol which affects belly fat. Drink water after your massage for a more effective treatment.
