A full-body massage: soft music, low lighting, a feeling of tranquility—it’s bliss. But what most people don’t know is that while you might be in a state of total relaxation your body is going into full activation mode during a massage.
A massage stimulates your nervous system; wakes up your muscles, organs, and glands; moves blood and lymph fluid, and gets multitudes of cells to produce and release chemicals and hormones.
1. Improved circulation can help deliver more oxygen and nutrients to your muscles and organs.
2. This can help lower blood pressure and improve heart health.
3. Better circulation can also promote healing and recovery.
4. So, a full body massage doesn't just feel good. It's also good for your heart!
