I wanted to share a quick insight into one of the many ways massage therapy supports your overall health — especially when life feels a little hectic.
Massage has been shown to lower cortisol levels, which is the body's main stress hormone. When cortisol stays elevated for too long (due to ongoing stress), it can affect your sleep, immune system, digestion, and even mood.
Regular massage helps to:
💆♀️ Reduce cortisol and calm the nervous system
💆 Promote deep relaxation and better sleep
💆♀️ Boost feel-good hormones like serotonin and dopamine
💆 Support your body’s natural healing and recovery processes
In other words — massage isn’t just about easing tight muscles (although that’s a lovely bonus!), it’s also about helping your body rebalance and restore from the inside out🌿
If you’re feeling the weight of stress lately, it could be the perfect time to book in!
Stay well,
Ellie💚
