Massage Therapy Can Help You Lose Weight

You might consider getting a massage an indulgence – but did you know that massage therapy could also improve your health and help you lose weight! 

Massages help aid the fat-burning process by breaking down fat, especially in the abdominal area. The stress hormone cortisol is responsible for increasing appetite and depositing fat in the stomach area, and massage therapy is proven to reduce the circulation of this hormone in your body.

Also, massage therapy can improve blood circulation throughout your body and improve the lymphatic system, which is helpful in the weight loss process.  When the lymphatic system is functioning proficiently, the body receives more nutrients and better blood flow, which leads to healthier muscles that will recover, grow and burn calories more efficiently.

Additionally, massage therapy can enhance your workout experience.  Deep tissue massages can prevent injuries by improving flexibility, can help muscles recuperate at a faster pace, and increase the patient’s overall mobility.

The simplest aid to weight loss that massages provide? Less stress.  Anxiety and stress can be hard on your body both physically and emotionally.  You can start to naturally relieve stress and lose weight today – just book a massage!
