How can Massage help relieve depression?
When muscles and connective tissues become rigid or stiff, it can cause pain and limited movement. Massage therapy can help relieve this tension, increase your blood flow, and promote relaxation. While massage therapy alone cannot cure depression, as it does not address the chemical or emotional problems involved, it may help to relieve the physical symptoms associated with it, like back pain, joint pain, and muscle aches. It can also help to relieve fatigue and sleeping problems.
Massage is an effective and safe form of health care that has been shown to provide benefits that go beyond just relaxation. Massage has been shown to provide relief from many things, including not only physical conditions, but also things like insomnia, anxiety, depression, and mental stress.
