Few things are more relaxing than a massage, but did you know it also has several health benefits? A lower heart rate can be one of the positive effects of having a massage, and you can also expect to see lower blood pressure numbers for the next few days. Because the nervous system is activated when you have a massage, a session can help to reduce anxiety and depression, and generally improve your mood. Massage helps those who have been diagnosed with serious or life threatening conditions too, such as cancer, as it can alleviate high blood pressure, pain and depression and other associated symptoms. If you work in certain fields, such as health care, you routinely experience tiredness, insomnia or muscle pain, and regular massaging can help. If you need a massage Scarborough masseurs are able to help you enjoy the many benefits.
