How does massage therapy affect your client’s endorphins?

Endorphin’s primary role is to inhibit the communication of pain signals but can also produce a feeling of euphoria.

Massage therapy releases endorphins in the body. These are the happy chemicals often related to a “runner’s high.’

The skin’s nerve cells send signals to the brain as soon as they feel the pressure from a massage which releases endorphins.

For real aches or pains, the morphine-like effect from the endorphins works by blocking pain signals from the brain causing a decrease in discomfort.

Healthcare continues evolving to less-invasive, natural, and drug-free methods, recognizing the value of massage therapy as an aspect of wellness.
