Studies show that chronic stress disrupts virtually every system in the body.
Stress at work, at home and in relationships can have a cumulative effect that can be deadly. Stress has also been linked to multiple diseases, including heart disease, arthritis, osteoporosis, Type-2 diabetes and certain cancers. Long-term stress can rewire the brain, making you more susceptible to anxiety and depression. However, studies now show that massage is extremely effective at reducing stress, lowering levels of anxiety and even improving the healing and comfort of cancer patients.
In one study out of the University of Miami 34 breast-cancer patients were randomly assigned to receive massage or to a control group. Those who had 30-minute massages three times a week were 46% less depressed, 25% less anxious and 50% less angry than those in the control group.
To combat stress, it's important to consider massage appointments as an investment in your health and wellness. To make a marked improvement in your health and vitality, make a noted effort to budget time and money for therapeutic massage at consistent intervals. San Diego spas and salons are here to help.
