Not only does massagetherapy feel good physically, but italso seems to hit a mental ‘reset button,’ leading to clearer thoughts andenhanced sleep,” Henry said.“Massage therapy can also managetwo common sleep stealers: stressand pain. Massage therapy tacklesstress on the physical level by easingmuscle tightness and on the biochemical level by lowering levels of thestress hormone cortisol — promptingthe release of endorphins, whichmake us feel good.”Henry said massage therapy alsohas been shown to mediate pain,which is very good news for peopleliving with fibromyalgia andosteoarthritis.“The pain-lessening benefits of regular massage therapy lead to bettersleep. Better sleep will ultimatelygive your body time to restore andheal,” she said.Swedish massage therapy is whatcomes to mind when most peoplethink about massage, Henry said.One of the primary goals of Swedishmassage is to relax the entire body,which is accomplished by rubbing themuscles with long gliding strokes inthe direction of blood returning tothe heart. But Swedish massage isalso exceptionally beneficial forincreasing the level of oxygen in theblood, decreasing muscle toxins andimproving circulation and flexibilitywhile easing tension.A study conducted by the NationalCenter for Complementary andAlternative Medicine, and publishedin The New York Times, found thatvolunteers who received a 45-minuteSwedish massage experienced significant decreases in levels of the stresshormone cortisol, as well as argininevasopressin, a hormone that can leadto increases in cortisol. Volunteersalso had increases in the number oflymphocytes — white blood cells thatare part of the immune system, anda boost in the immune cells that mayhelp fight colds and the flu.Henry noted Swedish massagetechniques taught in the OCCMassage program, also include circular pressure applied by the handsand palms, firm kneading, percussion-like tapping, bending andstretching. Before and during aSwedish massage session, talking tothe massage therapist will allow themassage to be customized.To take relaxation a step further,Henry suggests enhancing your massage with Lavender GardenAromatherapy to help reduce inflammation, calm the mind and promoterestful sleep.
