Massage goes beyond physical relief. It is a science-backed reset for your nervous system. Regular massage not only allows your body to recover, it allows your mind to breathe.
Discover a Massage that suits you.
Need proof? Here’s what home-service massage therapy can do:
1. Slashes Stress Hormones Like Cortisol
Massage helps reduce cortisol, the body’s main stress hormone, which in turn lowers anxiety and improves mood. It also reduces weight gain. Just 60 minutes of massage can lower cortisol by up to 30%. Ideal for a brutal day on EDSA or Ayala Avenue.
2. Floods Your Brain With HAPPY Chemicals
Regular massage increases:
- serotonin (natural antidepressant)
- dopamine (for motivation and joy)
- oxytocin (the cuddle hormone) for emotional calm.
They are brain’s “happiness” chemicals that enhance mood, relaxation, and sleep quality. This is especially valuable for professionals managing work stress in Makati, BGC, Pasay, Ortigas even those battling burnout in Poblacion.
