Heart Health
Massage therapy on a regular basis can reduce occurrence of cardiac arrhythmias, which cause the heart to pump less efficiently, and can decrease both diastolic and systolic blood pressure. Massage can ease heart strain by improving circulation toward the heart while relaxing contracted muscles.
An increasing number of research studies reveal that massage reduces heart rate, lowers blood pressure and increases blood circulation. If the goal is one of health maintenance, a massage every week or two can help one feel better and reduce tension and stress levels.
