Massage Boosts Immunity Massage therapy can also benefit your body’s immune system. Researchers have reported individuals who undergo massage therapy experience changes in their body’s immune and endocrine response. A study on the effects of Swedish massage on individuals’ endocrine response found that after just one 45-minute massage, participants experienced increased numbers of lymphocytes and white blood cells which play a large role in defending the body from disease.

Massage Reduces Anxiety and Depression Massage therapy has been shown to increase serotonin and dopamine levels, resulting in decreased symptoms of depression. The stress-alleviating effects of a massage also significantly decrease cortisol levels (the stress hormone), which reduces anxiety. In the treatment of women diagnosed with breast cancer, clinical practice guidelines include massage therapy as one of several approaches that may be helpful for stress reduction, anxiety..., depression, fatigue, and quality of life. In a 2009 study published in the International Journal of Neuroscience, women diagnosed with breast cancer who received massage therapy three times a week reported a reduction in depression, anger, and anxiety.

Counteracts Sitting at A Desk All Day When we are sitting at a desk all day, we tend to carry our stress heavily in the shoulders and neck. Massage therapy can relieve the postural stress that results from prolonged periods of sitting and improve your overall posture. If you work a desk job, be sure to pay attention to any pain or weakness in the lower back, shoulders and neck. Scheduling a regular massage will not only help you relax after a busy month at work, but also greatly counteract the negative health effects that result from sitting down all day.
