Massage for stress & anxiety With all of the craziness of 2020 we have seen a spike in stress and anxiety among the population. It is very important to have different ways to help reduce and deal with these issues in healthy and positive outlets! Some people will pick up old or new hobbies, like painting or reading that book that’s been sitting on the shelf for too long! Others will find ways to be outside, hiking or meditating! All of these are wonderful, but another way of ...reducing anxiety and stress is through massage! Massage therapy reduces feelings of anxiety by: Lowering the stress hormone cortisol Increasing activity of the parasympathetic nervous system Reducing pain Relieving muscle tension and soreness Activating the pregenual anterior cingulate cortexthe part of the brain where we experience feelings of happiness. So whether you are picking up a new hobby, enjoying the outdoors or coming in for a massage, find your healthy way to deal with stress & anxiety!
