Benefits of massage at Absolute Massage Cairns
One of the immediate benefits of massage is a feeling of deep relaxation and calm. This occurs because massage prompts the release of endorphins – the brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that produce feelings of wellbeing. Levels of stress hormones, such as adrenalin, cortisol and norepinephrine, are also reduced. Studies indicate that high levels of stress hormones impair the immune system.
Some of the physical benefits of massage and myotherapy include:
-
reduced muscle tension
-
improved circulation
-
stimulation of the lymphatic system
-
reduction of stress hormones
-
relaxation
-
increased joint mobility and flexibility
-
improved skin tone
-
improved recovery of soft tissue injuries

reduced anxiety and depression.
