No matter your reason for scheduling back massages, you’ll be pleasantly surprised that each treatment offers a variety of benefits. So even though you may schedule a massage because you’re dealing with low back pain, your cardiovascular system will also benefit. Likewise, if you book a massage because you’re dealing with a lot of stress, you’ll also help boost your immune system. Read on to learn about all the possible benefits you’ll get from a professional back massage.
Reducing Muscle Pain and Soreness
Back pain is extremely common with 80% of people experiencing some form of back pain at least once in their lives. Back pain is frequently caused by a muscle strain or a ligament strain. A back massage is often effective in treating pain because it increases the blood flow to the affected area. Blood carries oxygen and nutrients that are essential for helping muscles recover after an injury.
Boosting the Immune System with a Massage
Even 45-minute back massages can give your immune system a boost. The reason? Studies have shown that following a massage, patients experience an increased number of lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are white blood cells that are vital to fighting viruses and bacteria.
Massages Increase Your Blood Flow
Poor blood circulation is responsible for a host of symptoms including numbness and tingling in the extremities. Those with poor circulation may experience muscle cramps and even digestive issues. The pressure applied by an experienced massage therapist can help to move your blood through areas of congestion. This enables new, oxygen-rich blood to flow unobstructed through the body.
Stress Reduction
Even short periods of relaxation, such as receiving a massage help to reduce stress. This is because massage can help activate your parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS). The PSNS is the body’s main mechanism for managing and recovering from stress.
