Massage therapy has been shown to enhance immune function by increasing lymphatic fluid circulation, which aids in the elimination of pathogens and promotes overall well-being.
How does massage support immune system function?
•INCREASES WHITE BLOOD CELLS- Massage stimulates the release of lymphocytes, a crucial component in the fight against viral and bacterial infections.
•IMPROVES CIRCULATION- Massage enhances blood and lymphatic circulation, facilitating the transportation of immune cells and nutrients throughout the body while efficiently removing metabolic waste.
•ENHANCES LYMPHATIC FLOW- The lymphatic system relies on muscle contractions to facilitate fluid movement. Massage stimulates this movement, aiding in the removal of toxins from the body.
•PROMOTES RELAXATION- Massage alleviates muscle tension, inducing relaxation and enabling the body to maintain a robust and responsive immune system.
•REDUCES STRESS HORMONE- Regular massage has been shown to decrease cortisol levels, a stress hormone that can compromise immune function when chronically elevated.
