How Does Massage Reduce Stress & Improve Your Well-being?
Many studies over the years have gone to show that massage can reduce stress and increase your well-being. For instance, Zimba O et al (2025) tells us of the clinical benefits of massage that can decrease cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and reduce discomfort. The work stress of legal professionals is great however, stress is even greater for those suffering from cancer. Hernandez-Reif M et al (2004) tell us there can be quick effects of massage which include reduced low moods, anxiety and aggressive behaviour. All of which can be of benefit in a stressful legal office environment. Yet, we are also told of possible longer-term benefits such as an increase the feelgood hormones dopamine and serotonin after a regime of regular treatments. These changes brought about by massage can bring about a psychological and physical balance within you which, simply put, allows you to feel a lot better within yourself. So, this evidence allows us to conclude massage decreases stress hormones and increases feelgood hormones which can lift your wellbeing. Anyone feeling the stress of a job in the legal professions can benefit from massage. Call 07979 814388 to book in for your well-being boost today.
Massages Role in Improving Focus and Mental Clarity
One thing is certain, as a legal professional remaining sharp and keeping good focus for long periods of the day can allow you to be more successful. Your lengthy days filled with mentally taxing complex court cases, constant tiring client meetings and that relentless but required paperwork can take a heavy toll on you. It can badly affect your ability to concentrate for long periods and mental clarity. There is also the constant mental fatigue and high stress level with can lead to burnout, which is common for lawyers. Even though much evidence such as Sekułowicz M et al (2017) that burnout can be reduced by massage it has not been taken up by the office as a efficacious solution to aid well-being. It is time for this to change. We all want good focus and the ability to concentrate. We want mental clarity to make the right decisions for our clients. Massage has been shown to help cognitive function positively by encouraging additional blood flow to the brain. This in turn can enhance your focus and alertness in the office.
Let’s also remember that there can be good levels of relaxation achieved during and after a massage. This bonus benefit can allow you to clear away unwanted mental clutter meaning you return to work sharper and more able to focus. Let’s face it, with all of these proven benefits anyone working in the legal arena should be getting regular treatments. Call 07979 814388 to book yours today.
