Relaxation Massage

The relaxation response is the state of the heart and breathing rates going down. When the body begins to relax stress hormones decrease and muscles relax. During massage the body releases different hormones that have a therapeutic effect on the body. Massage increases endorphins, serotonin and dopamine which are the natural feel good chemicals that the body produces. Massage decreases the amount of cortisol and adrenaline which are stress hormones that cause depression and anxiety. Massage therapists at Manchester Physio provide relaxation massage therapy services to treat a range of conditions.
