If you carry anxiety symptoms in your shoulders, back and neck, a professional massage can specifically target those areas. Regardless of where you carry tension, studies have shown that massage increases your body's levels of oxytocin and serotonin, which results in lowered stress. The feeling of relaxation created by regular massage therapy also lowers your blood pressure and elevates your mood.

When your body is relaxed, your nervous system responds with a lower heart rate and improved breathing. Deep sleep becomes easier to achieve, because your muscles remember the sensation vividly enough to recreate it at home, which enables you to enjoy a healthier life.

Massage Therapy Lowers Anxiety

Massage therapists use touch to locate painful or tense areas, to determine how much pressure to apply, and to establish a therapeutic relationship with the patient.

To treat digestive disorders, massage therapists apply gentle manual pressure to the outside of the abdomen to feel the internal structures of the colon and small intestine.

In some cases, the massage therapist may be able to feel an area in the digestive tract that is congested. Massaging the affected area can help stimulate the spontaneous movement of the digestive tract (a process called peristalsis) and reduce symptoms such as cramping, bloating, gas, and constipation.

Abdominal massage may help remove masses that have become trapped within diverticula, or outpouchings of the intestinal wall. The application of heat or ice can be used along with gentle massage to stimulate the bowel or to reduce swelling.

What is Fibromyalgia?Fibromyalgia is associated with widespread chronic pain, fatigue, memory problems and mood changes. It occurs more often in women than in men, and is not a disease, but rather a syndrome that can be managed. Fortunately, fibromyalgia is not life threatening and does not lead to muscle or joint damage.

Benefits of Massage Therapy for Fibromyalgia:Massage therapy is one of the oldest methods of healthcare still in practice. At Massage Envy Spa, our professional massage therapists concentrate on techniques that encourage circulation in the muscles, which increases the flow of nutrients and eliminates waste products. This is particularly beneficial for those with fibromyalgia as it can reduce heart rate, relax muscles, improve range of motion in joints and increase production of the body's natural painkillers.

Massage for insomnia can help to do this by relaxing the tight muscles and re-establishing circulation to these areas allowing the bodies systems to return to normal. Massage has long been known to enhance relaxation and improve sleep patterns. While massage alone is an effective method for relaxation, studies of massage and insomnia suggest that massage with essential oils, may result in improved sleep quality, more stable mood, increased mental capacity, and reduced anxiety. Clinical studies of massage and insomnia have found participants who received massage felt less anxious and more positive.

Chronic myofascial pain is different from the occasional muscle soreness created by an extra challenging workout or a weekend of painting.

Myofascial Therapy (also known as myofascial release therapy or myofascial trigger point therapy) is a type of safe, low load stretch that releases tightness and pain throughout the body caused by myofascial pain syndrome, which describes chronic muscle pain that is worse in certain areas known as trigger points.

Paresthesia is a condition in which the affected individual may experience tingling, numbness, burning, prickling, or itching. These sensations may be felt in the fingers, hands, toes, or feet.

Acupuncture and massage are believed to provide a level of relief from the symptoms of paresthesia. Self-massage with aromatic oils is sometimes helpful as well. The application of topical ointments that contain, 'capsaicin,' the substance that makes hot peppers hot, might provide relief from paresthesia. It can also be helpful to wear clothes and shoes that are loose-fitting.
