Physical Benefits of Evidence-Based Massage for Men
One of the main benefits of evidence-based massage is its confirmed ability to ease muscle tension. Men’s muscles are larger, and guys do tend to hold onto stress in them. You know that feeling in your shoulders and across your back at the end of a stressful day? All that tension makes even sitting comfortably difficult. Quas G et al (2017) tell us this is exactly what massage can help you with. By relieving muscle tension, aches and pains it can improve you overall physical wellbeing. Physiological benefits of massage can extend to better circulation, easing of inflammation and reduced pains especially in joints. All of this can contribute to a more robust and resilient body.
Psychological Benefits
In today’s nonstop world, discovering comfortable, relaxing ways to manage your day-to-day stress is vital. We are constantly under stress in our environment, like looming work deadlines and psychological stress, such as constantly worrying about our work performance because we don’t want to lose our job. These events repetitively trigger stress hormones that make your heart to beat quicker and breathing increase. This is called the fff (fight, fright, flight) response. Muscles can start to tense and sometimes you can begin to sweat obviously. However, plenty of scientific studies show massage can substantially reduce stress hormones (cortisol and adrenaline according to Sanvictores T et al (2024)) and according to Fears A (2024) it can increase the release of feelgood hormones instead (dopamine, serotonin and endorphins), this means massage can heighten your overall mood, providing a much-needed sense of balance for you. Additionally, evidence points to massage helping you sleep better, promoting more restful and restorative sleep. Regular treatments over a short period can also help you overcome jetlag restoring your body clock to a regular sleep pattern. So, it helps you relax, feel much better and get better quality sleep, what more could you ask for?
