As the body ages, the body changes, and bodywork is a great way to work with those changes. Massage and Bodywork is a great way to restore, prevent, and maintain the effects of aging. Massage encourages an improved circulation of blood and nutrients throughout the body. This improved circulation gives the skin more elasticity, tones muscles, maintains and improves the function of the skin.
When the body experiences chronic stress, it can age the body and decrease the functions of the immune system. Massage encourages the release of oxytocin, a stress-reducing hormone that activates a relaxation response. Massage also decreases the cortisol levels associated with stress and increases dopamine and serotonin levels in the body.
With aging and the body changing pain from physical activity may occur along with pain due to arthritis. Massage can help keep the muscle tissue from tightening and increase range of motion in joints. Massage can help alleviate pain and stiffness felt from the symptoms of arthritis.
