One of the immediate benefits of massage is a feeling of deep relaxation and calm.

 

This occurs because massage prompts the release of endorphins - which are the brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that produce feelings of wellbeing.

 

Levels of stress hormones, such as adrenalin, cortisol and norepinephrine, are also reduced. Studies indicate that high levels of stress hormones impair the immune system.
