Many people you know might think that massages have no real benefits. Have you been trying to work out if you should spend money on getting regular massages? Below are some not yet widely known benefits of doing just that!

It’s been found that massage induces chemical changes in the brain. These changes lower your body pain and your stress levels overall. This is fantastic since it means that you don’t actually have to massage the specific point on your body that is hurting. This means that if you don’t want someone touching, for example, your lower back, you should ask them to massage somewhere you do feel comfortable instead. The pressure there transmits a signal to your brain so that the chemical responses can change. Give it a while and the muscles in other areas of your body will relax as well.

It’s possible, according to a number of experts, that regular massage helps increase the health of your body. Science has found, through a series of tests, that massage can boost your immune system and make it easier for your body to fight off disease. This comes about because your body makes more de-stressors when it is massaged. To use one example, science has shown that the cortisol levels in your body are decreased when you get a massage on a regular basis. Cortisol is caused by stress and de-stressing your body is a superb way to keep it from assaulting your immune system which, in turn, helps the rest of your body continue to be healthy.

Are you aware that massage can help lower your blood pressure? Regular massage brings down your high blood pressure too. The reason this is true is that massage sets off your pneumogastric nerve; the vagus nerve is what helps your brain regulate the level of your blood pressure as well as a host of other vital functions. A 2005 study proves that those suffer from hypertension showed a noticeable improvement in their levels after receiving just ten ten-minute massages over the course of a few weeks.
