Massage therapy promotes both physical and emotional healing.
It reduces stress and anxiety, improves mood by boosting serotonin and dopamine levels, and enhances sleep quality by alleviating insomnia.
Massage also eases physical symptoms like muscle tension and pain, fosters a positive mind-body connection, and helps lower hyperarousal symptoms such as elevated heart rate.
Additionally, safe physical contact during massages can support trauma recovery, making it a valuable complementary treatment for people who are struggling on an emotional and mental level.
