WHY IT'S ESSENTIAL TO
LISTEN TO YOUR BODY?

You’re receiving messages from your body regularly. Hunger, thirst, pain, pleasure, illness, emotions… Some messages may feel good, and some are uncomfortable. However, don’t hurry to mark the messages as good or bad. To better understand the memo, abstain from quick conclusions. Just acknowledge the information sent to you by the body.

Unfortunately, people tend to ignore messages that are less obvious or urgent — a vast amount of people living with chronic fatigue, headaches, anxiety, and pain.

Mauricio Bertone is an experienced massage therapist, trained to help you understand the sensations in your body and to you improve your physical and emotional well-being.

A 60-minute massage can lower cortisol, a hormone that’s produced in response to stress, by an average of 30%. When cortisol levels decline, serotonin — one of the body’s anti-pain mechanisms — increases by an average of 28% after receiving a massage. By lowering cortisol and increasing serotonin, you’re boosting your body’s ability to fight off pain, and anxiety.

Stimulation of the lymph nodes re-charges the body’s natural defense system.

The American Psychological Association states that often stress is a chronic condition – during financial difficulties, chronic illness or dealing with family issues. It is your body’s response to the event that causes stress. When the brain senses any kind of stress, your heart rate and blood pressure rise and your muscles tighten. Feelings of stress that continue for long periods have a detrimental effect on the body. Massage helps you relax, calming the mind and body and relieving your stress.

Ohio State University research study states that massage after intense physical activity resulted in less scarring. The study also found that the muscles had more vessel formation after massage. A post-workout massage speeds up recovery by sending more blood to recovering muscles.

Reducing inflammation and improving blood circulation provides pain relief. Depending on what’s causing the pain, massage can be an ideal way to improve your condition. Massage will help you relax, increase flexibility, and generally feel better. Massage therapy releases serotonin in the brain, which is the chemical that puts you in a better emotional state.
