Anxiety is a normal emotional and physical response to stress, danger or uncertainty that acts as an internal alarm. But if this persists it can go from being a normal emotion we all experience, to a chronic condition or state that we live in with an internal alarm system that won’t switch off 🚨
The good news is that anxiety can be managed and reduced with both immediate relief from the rising panic and long-term strategies that turn down that internal alarm 🤍
Massage is a powerful tool for managing anxiety when used alongside other long-term strategies. Massage drastically lowers levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) in the body and increases levels of serotonin and dopamine (feel good hormones) to chemically reset the body and reduce anxiety.
The physical touch of massage also activates the parasympathetic nervous system, signalling to your body and mind that you are safe and reducing your heart rate and blood pressure, as well as physically relieving muscle tensions.
If you’re looking to take a step towards reducing your anxiety then why not book a massage with Cosy & Content.
