Stress Relief

Stress is a regular part of life, but when it becomes overwhelming, the body responds by increasing cortisol production. This hormone can compromise the immune system, raise blood pressure, and contribute to weight gain.

To help combat stress, Calgary RMT massage therapists help our clients understand it.

As small stressors begin to grow, there are several manifestations including:

• Headache
• Irritability
• Depression
• Fatigue
• Difficulty focusing
• Restlessness

When the body prioritizes dealing with stress, it leads to elevated heart rate, increased blood pressure, and higher cortisol levels. Consequently, less energy is available for immune function and digestion. Prolonged stress can lead to significant physical and emotional changes, including withdrawal from daily activities and social interactions.

Recognizing the symptoms early can help find courses of treatment to reduce stress.

Massage therapy has been proven to effectively alleviate stress by boosting endorphin levels, which enhance feelings of well-being. Additionally, it helps reduce blood pressure and heart rate.
