Sure, it can help you relax — but massage therapy can do much more than that.
It counteracts all that sitting you do
Most individuals are dealing with some kind of postural stress,” says Sridhar Patil, registered massage therapist, kinesiologist and owner at Paleolife Massage Therapy in Jodhpur. “More often than not [that stress] tends to manifest in the shoulders and neck.” But desk workers, beware. More advanced forms of postural stress show up as pain or weakness in the low back and gluteals caused by prolonged periods of sitting. Here’s more on how sitting can impact your health.
And considering the benefits of massage therapy a quite unexpected, luckily, massage can counteract the imbalance caused from sitting. This means you can keep your desk job as long, as you schedule a regular massage.
It soothes anxiety and depression
“Human touch, in a context that is safe, friendly and professional, can be incredibly therapeutic and relaxing,” says Sridhar Patil. Women diagnosed with breast cancer who received massage therapy three times a week reported being less depressed and less angry, according to a 2012 study published in the International Journal of Neuroscience.
And, a study published in the Journal of the Indian Academy of Massage, found that patients who were depressed and anxious were much more relaxed and happy, and had reduced stress levels after massage.
