Massage your Anxiety Away!
0
by Stephanie Kulesha RMT & Reiki Master
There are many types of anxiety disorders, including (but not limited to): Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), Panic Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and phobias.
When you experience anxiety, your body produces a lot of the stress hormone “cortisol“. Science has proven massage LOWERS cortisol levels. It also gets rid of the muscle tension caused by anxiety disorders.
In 1996 the Touch Research Institute did a study with 26 adults. For the study half the adults were given chair massages 2 x week for 15 minutes and the control group sat in a massage chair but didn’t receive a massage 2 x week for 15 minutes. (You have to feel sorry...

0
