Are you suffering from a case of the winter blues?
Many of us suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder / SAD, especially in areas with limited sun like Ohio. Well you are in luck. Massage can help!
Getting a regular massage can:
- Reduce anxiety and depression
- Increase neurotransmitters associated with lowering anxiety and decrease hormones associated with increasing anxiety.
- Significantly decrease heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure.
- Improve mental health by reducing depression in individuals with HIV, lessen anxiety in cancer patients, reduce anxiety and depression in military veterans and lower work-related stress for nurses.
