Benefits of Head Massage in Port Orange

The Zensational Signature Massage in Port Orange includes head massage and for good reason!

For starters, a head massage feels amazing. Rarely do we get to have our heads massaged, but when we do, within seconds we are reminded why it’s so lovely. The good news is that research backs up the benefits that head massages provide, adding to the mere notion that we simply love the way they feel.

Research published in the Journal of Physical Therapy Science reports the findings of a study that put head massage to the test. They provided office workers with head massages, over the course of 10 weeks, and took various measurements to see what benefit it provided. They found that there were positive effects were observed on stress hormone, blood pressure and heart rate.

Further, a head massage helps people relax, increasing parasympathetic nerve activity, and helps to stabilize hormone levels and lower blood pressure. A scalp massage helps to promote blood circulation, which has a positive effect on helping the neck muscles and blood vessels to relax.

On another note, hair massage also helps to increase hair thickness, according to research published in the journal ePlasty. They report the findings of a study where healthy men were given a four-minute scalp massage per day for 24 weeks, and then they evaluated the total hair number, hair thickness, and hair growth rate. They found that the scalp massage over time increased hair thickness. While I don’t see the same person daily for 24 weeks, it’s good information to know if you are someone who would like thicker hair.

With that in mind, enjoy the head massage and know that it’s providing you with great benefits beyond only feeling wonderful. Your hair may be a little messy afterward (sorry), but it’s well worth it!
