Manageable levels of stress are positive, but too much stress for long can lead to sleep problems and depression. Learning to be consistent with relaxation through massage, bodywork and exercise has been proven to reduce stress and its side effects. Because mind and muscle are connected, the central and peripheral nervous systems communicate with each other. Massage does more than relax your muscles. It can soothe your mood as well as your mind. Massage releases endorphins that calm the peripheral nervous system. It increases circulation and speeds up the removal of toxins from the body. Massage can reduce levels of the stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline. A study st the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami Medical School found that massage therapy also improved sleep and reduced depression. Studies have also shown an increase in cognitive performance, developmental skills, and a healthier lifestyle.
