Massage and Sleep

How can massage help me sleep better?

A growing body of research suggests that massage therapy can effectively address insomnia and the underlying chronic conditions associated with it. While many clients find massages incredibly relaxing, they may not realize the holistic benefits they provide. Let's explore how a professional massage can promote high-quality sleep. One way massages combat insomnia is by increasing serotonin production, a neurotransmitter in the brain. Serotonin is believed to be utilized by the brain's sleep-inducing area to communicate and facilitate deep sleep. Additionally, the brain uses serotonin to generate melatonin, the hormone that signals the brain to wind down and prepare for sleep. Therefore, through its impact on serotonin, a massage can contribute to a more restful and rejuvenating sleep experience.
