Anecdotally, we always
"feel better" after a massage. However, research has shown that the
benefits of a massage are more far-reaching than simply a de-stressor. A
recent article in the New York Times, details these benefits and
it’s certainly worth a read for all athletes.
It is wonderful that we now
have proof of the hormonal and immune system effects of massage. This
research allows us to see massage as an important component of our health
routine, and not just an indulgence.
As
a reminder, most FSA plans will allow for reimbursement of massage to treat a
specific injury or trauma. Hopefully, in the future and as more is known
about the preventive benefits of massage, all massage will be reimbursable. Winter Sale - Sports Center Members receive 20%
off all services and non-members receive 10% off all services.

Volunteers who received a 45-minute deep tissue Swedish
massage saw decreased levels of the stress hormone cortisol in blood and saliva,
and in arginine vasopressin, a hormone that can lead to increases in cortisol.
They also experienced an increase of white blood cells in their immune systems.
Volunteers who received a light massage for 45 minutes
experienced greater increases in oxytocin, a hormone associated with
contentment, than the Swedish massage group. They also saw greater decreases in
adrenal corticotropin hormone, which stimulates the adrenal glands to release
cortisol.
So go out and get a massage today! It's good for you!
