Benefits of Massage Therapy On Your Nervous System

Massage therapy is no longer exclusively considered a “luxury” service. Many medical studies now show the physical and mental benefits that massage therapy can provide. One benefit is to our nervous system.

The nervous system includes the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS), which work together to keep our organs functioning properly. Massage therapy is important for the nervous system, connecting the CNS and PNS. It helps restore balance and improve overall health.

The nervous system also relates closely to the endocrine system, which manages body functions through hormones. Massage therapy can increase happiness hormones like dopamine and serotonin, while lowering stress hormones like cortisol. It also releases endorphins, which help relieve pain.

By adding regular massage therapy to your wellness routine, you can improve how your nervous and endocrine systems work together, leading to better health. Discover the benefits of massage at Haven Spa, where our skilled therapists help you find balance and rejuvenation!
