Stress is commonly perceived as something negative that happens to us, but this is not always right. In some cases, stress can be a trigger for a shoot of energy. This happens because adrenaline boots your heart rate and the cortisol boosts your blood sugar while diverting energy away from your digestive system and immune responses.

But, if the stress is never released, it can bring severe consequences to us. The permanent stress might become ?distress´(a negative stress reaction). And it can lead to physical symptoms including headaches, upset stomach, elevated blood pressure, chest pain, and problems sleeping, among many others. Besides, research has suggested stress may also bring some types of diseases or make them even worse.

• Changes in your Behavior: angry outbursts, drug or alcohol abuse, over- or under-eating, social withdrawal and tobacco use.
• Changes in your Mood: anxiety, Irritability or anger, lack of motivation or focus, restlessness and sadness or depression.
• Changes in your Body: chest pain, fatigue, headache, muscle tension or pain, sex drive, sleep and stomach upset.

Massage To Release Stress

Every symptom can benefit from massage. It has been studied that a massage can lower the heart rate and blood pressure, it also relaxes your muscles and increase the production of endorphins which naturally makes you feel good. Serotonin and dopamine are released through massage as well, so you can experience a sense of relaxation which makes stress easier to overcome.

It is mostly the dopamine, chemical naturally produced by the body that helps to keep the central nervous system and overall balance functioning smoothly, in charge of making you feel good. Your body’s balance is disrupted when high levels of stress are present, and it leads to a feeling of depression and anxiety.

Several clinical studies showed that a single 1 ½-hour session would significantly lower the heart rate, cortisol levels, and insulin levels.
