This is the view this morning!!! The road directly outside is having major repair work this week until Thursday 🤞 It's much needed work, but it does mean restricted access and a lot of noise. The car park at Market Hill is open.

Just a wee bit stuffy today !!! 🔥 🥵
I'm managing to keep my treatment room pleasantly cool, so not to bad. Will definitely be off for a dip in the river this evening 👌

I'll admit, I'm not a football fan, but watching Scotland and the Tartan Army fans taking over Boston is absolutely brilliant 👏 👌 💙

🍀 Good luck against Morocco tonight 🍀

As you have all mostly agreed, this is a resounding TRUE!

Studies have found that massage can increase the production of serotonin within the body and lower the stress hormone cortisol levels. There is much more going on and the role that serotonin can have in our health.

Hormone and neurotransmitter mini-lesson 101:

This is the interesting bit, serotonin acts as both a hormone and a neurotransmitter (it interacts with the nervous system)

It is thought to hamper the production of cortisol (mostly known as the stress hormone) and increase dopamine (the happy hormone). It is one of the natural body chemicals that impact mood, our sense of well-being, and happiness.

Have you ever heard a client say they had one of the best night's sleep after a massage? This is because of the role it plays with melatonin, the sleep hormone that controls when you sleep and wake up.

Serotonin even influences how we feel pain, hunger, and our ability to learn, it's pretty cool that massage can help increase its production and influence all of these systems.

So the next time you are feeling stressed, have a massage!

A great study on this topic is ‘Cortisol Decreases and Serotonin and Dopamine Increase Following Massage Therapy’ by ‘Tiffany Field’ (2004)
