The Top Eleven Benefits of Massage in the Workplace

1.    Helps relieve stress and aids relaxation.  This translates into increased concentration, and better performance on the job.

2.    Helps relieve tension-related headaches and effects of eyestrain.

3.    Strengthens the immune system by stimulating lymph flow, the body’s natural defense system.

4.    Reduces heart rate.

5.    Reduces blood pressure.

6.    Decreases anxiety and aids concentration.

7.    Improves blood and lymph circulation. The palpating and manipulation of soft tissue helps move blood circulation through congested arteries as well as flush out lactic acid from muscles which can cause cramping.

8.    Helps relieve symptoms of repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) like carpal tunnel syndrome.

9.    Helps relieve muscle tension and stiffness.

10. Relaxes the digestive system.

11. Decreases cortisol while increasing serotonin and dopamine, helping to induce positive mood states.

So take a break and make time for yourself.  Massage is a wonderful way to get back to center and relax.  Your blood pressure and heart rate return to baseline, your blood flow readjusts, muscles relax, and you move toward a state of recovery and recuperation.  Your immune system strengthens because of the increased flow of lymph cells through your system.

And Breathe.

Happy Holidays and a healthy, peaceful New Year.

Headaches, IBS, chronic fatigue, high blood pressure, are just some of the conditions that can be produced by long term stress. Job burnout, exhaustion are all symptoms of stress over long periods of time.

Managing stress, as opposed to reacting to it, is the key.  Life isn’t going to go our way all the time. It never does, and it isn’t supposed to.  However, dealing with the hand we’re dealt, as opposed to reacting to it, and the skills necessary for that, are important to learn.

Massage stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system. Its function is to slow and calm things down. More on this in another blog, soon to come.
