Massage and the Circulatory System

Have you ever wondered what massage therapy does for the circulatory system? Well, new research published in the International Journal of Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork explains it. Researchers set out to report on what massage does to the circulatory system. When looking for a Port Orange massage, keep this information in mind and use it as a motivator to get massages regularly.

In their published research, they report that the circulatory system plays a central role in mediating the therapeutic outcomes of massage. They set out to look at what impact massage has on the circulatory system, including on blood pressure, heart rate, etc. Their research reports that massage is historically rooted in traditional practices, going back centuries, and has evolved into a tool used to alleviate stress, improve musculoskeletal conditions, and enhance systemic physiological functions. They report that one of the systems most impacted by massage therapy is the circulatory system and that it has far-reaching health implications.

Some of the key findings reported in the research paper include:

Massage leads to vasodilation, which is a widening of the blood vessels, improves venous return, and reduces arterial stiffness.
Even a 30-minute session of Swedish relaxation massage has a significant reduction in anxiety following the session and enhances vagal activity.
Massage may help lower blood pressure in those who have essential hypertension, with some studies showing that it significantly lowers blood pressure among hypertensive populations.
A relaxing massage shifts the body from being in a sysmpathetic to a parasympathetic state, which helps to reduce the heart rate and create calm.
Massage helps with improving blood flow and enhancing vascular responsiveness and microcirculatory function, including helping those with compromised peripheral circulation and vascular disorders.
Massage enhances endothelial function and improves vascular compliance.
Massage therapy has been consistently shown to reduce psychological distress and, in doing so, contribute to improved cardiovascular regulation.
Massage-induced psychological relaxation can lead to measurable improvements in cardiovascular outcomes.
