How Massage Can Help Your Anxiety

Wondering how massage can help treat symptoms of anxiety? Check out these excerpts from @verywell article:

Therapeutic Massage for Anxiety and Panic Disorder

“Massage therapy can help the body relax, which in turn can help one let go of anxious and fearful thoughts... As a relaxation technique, massage therapy can work to manage the fight-or-flight response, or stress reaction, that is typically overactive among people with anxiety disorders.”

“The fight-or-flight reaction typically leads to uncomfortable physical symptoms, such as shortness of breath, accelerated heart rate, excessive sweating, and chest pain. Massage therapy can have an opposing effect on the body by eliciting the relaxation response, reducing tension, lowering heart rate, and generally making a person feel calmer.”
