Stress is a constant threat to mental and physical well-being. It keeps our body unnecessarily on high alert. Stress is instrumental in the development of diabetes, substance abuse, heart disease, weight gain, stroke, and digestive disruptions like ulcers. The irony is most of us aren’t aware of the impact. We hit the gym, manage the most arduous days, and believe we’re fine. Yet, we have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other stress-related conditions. Therapeutic massage for stress relief is a process that improves well-being and health. In Brooklyn and throughout the Big Apple, Naturally Zuri Massage is home to solutions for discomfort and stress that’s become far too common. Our teams of therapists excel at revitalizing the mind and body. We provide relaxation and promote stress relief through a range of personalized modalities.
Stress and Its Impact
We all experience stress. It affects the way we think, act, and feel. However, we tend not to be aware of the extent of its impact.
Body Stress
Physical stress provokes:
- Changes in sexual desire
- Fatigue
- Headaches
- Muscle pain and tension
- Stomach issues
- Weakened immune system
Stress and Mood
Stress negatively influences mood. There’s:
- Anger
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Lack of focus and motivation
- Memory problems
- Restlessness
Behavior
We often use stress to engage in self-destructive behavior.
- Alcohol or drug abuse
- Isolation
- Outbursts
- Smoking
- Under- or overeating
The best way to deal with stress is with physical activity and procedures like therapeutic massage. Watching tee-vee, playing video games, and surfing the net may leave the impression of relaxing and alleviating a day of stress. But, in time, they do increase stress levels.
How Therapeutic Massage Helps Alleviate Stress
Therapeutic massage is a psychological and physical solution for stress and other conditions. It identifies pressure points and, under the guidance of a trained professional, manages stress levels in many ways.
- Creates deep relaxation
- Manages the parasympathetic nervous system
- Increases blood flow
- Lowers cortisol
- Encourages tissue elasticity
- Releases serotonin
Specific Benefits of Therapeutic Massage for Stress Relief
Massage is suggested as standard treatment for an array of medical conditions, including stress. That’s due to its ability — sometimes alongside other treatments such as medications, exercise, or diet — to alleviate stress associated with chronic ailments.
It Improves Sleep Quality
Insomnia sufferers tend to have higher stress levels. Massage is calming and increases delta waves. It releases endorphins that reduce pain and tension. These operations all play a part in good rest.
It Manages Joint and Muscle Pain
Nothing enhances stress than the inability to get our bodies to work. Naturally Zuri Massage manages many forms of arthritis, back pain, and rheumatism, improving the mobility and function that promotes mental well-being and physicality.
It Fights Depression
Lowering stress hormones, improving sleep, and elevating relaxation combats elements that influence depression.
