How massage therapy relieves your stress levels?

Stress is persistent in the world in general, and Dubai in particular. It is usually thought as unwanted. If you are about to hit the car next to you while getting late for office, most probably, the stress is playing its role.

A saying goes right here

“Happiness is a choice. You can choose to be happy. There's going to be stress in life, but it's your choice whether you let it affect you or not. Valerie Bertinelli”

 Research establishes this fact that stress is detrimental to almost every part of your body. When you take tension, it is natural that your muscles become stiff and painful.

When we feel nervous, our body produces certain hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. The adrenaline job is to boost the body’s heart rate, and the cortisol increases our blood sugar levels.

These physiological responses are the same as stimulated in prehistoric humans when they had to flee potential attacks or dangers.

Nevertheless, when your stress becomes permanent, and you never find any solution to relieve it, this continuous fight-or-flight mechanism can be disastrous for your body

In reality, this sustained stress becomes distressed, i.e. an adverse body reaction. It will cause symptoms such as upset stomach, increased blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, and sleeping problems.

To avoid stress becoming distressed; you must be seeking mechanisms to relieve your stress levels. And, for this purpose, Massage like comfortable massage in Dubai can be your powerful ally which not only helps you to reduce anxiety levels but also lessens body pains.

 

1) Triggers the Body's Relaxation Response

 The fight-or-flight response of your body is induced due to stress which elevates heart beating and increases tension in the muscles. Doctor Herbert Benson who is a researcher at Harvard Medical School has pointed out that your body needs to trigger a relaxation mechanism in reaction to the emergency response to reduce tension levels.

Massaging body muscles trigger this relieving response, so the heart beating rate slows down, respiration rate decelerates, and consequently, muscles relax. Read More

2) Slows down blood pressure

According to authentic research by the American Heart Association, states that: behaviours that are associated with high anxiety levels such as improper diet, lack of physical activity, smoking and high alcohol intake are causal factors for elevating blood pressure.

According to an analysis done by the University of South Florida, the study participants who got ten massage-therapies over three weeks duration saw drops in blood pressure levels.

The research also found that the massage triggers pressure points associated with the vagus nerve. This nerve has a role in regulating blood pressure so; its activation helps in the maintenance of average blood pressure intensity.

3) Relieve muscle tension

It promotes muscular recreation. Kneading your body helps to break lactic acid accumulation that is a source of discomfort and is a cause of stress.

Massage therapy stimulates certain hormones that trigger body relaxation like serotonin and dopamine. It also increases blood circulation in your muscles, thus releasing muscle tension and triggering sensory receptors.

4) Gives feelings of comfort and relief

Availability of massage centers e.g. massage in Dubai provides your body with immediate assistance. It relaxes your mind and strain in the muscles.

For instance, you can only close your eyes and place your fingers under your eyes. Apply slight pressure for 5 to 10 seconds and your headache will be gone away. Likewise, by applying pressure in circular motions on your shoulder muscles will reduce your shoulder pain.

Likewise, massaging in slow, circular movements loosen up your tight muscles thus providing relief.

Conclusion

Stress is a usual phenomenon. And, every human being has to deal with it in his/her life. Whether the tension is job-related, family related or finance related, you will be stressed out.

Although, it is inevitable we need to seek strategies for relieving our stress because sustained stress levels will be detrimental to our body and mind.

Apart from adopting a healthy lifestyle, we must be considering massage in Dubai to relieve our anxiety. This therapy is helpful in reducing the levels of stress hormones in the body and thus saves you from the adverse effects of persistent stress.
