Effects of chair massage

Research has shown that chair massage has lots of positive effects. Clients are more alert, performances improve and lower back pains, sleep disorders, stress and chronic headaches are reduced. All are the result of the physiological effects of chair massage:

• The whole body is provided with extra oxygen, nutrients and essential trace elements.
• More happiness hormones like serotonin, dopamine and endorphins are produced.
• Fear and stress hormone levels like cortisol and norepinephrine are reduced. This is of importance as stress through the nervous system may lead to higher muscle tension.
• The activity of white blood cells, and with that our immune system, increases.
• Normalisation of blood pressure and heart rate. Increased lymph activity, more flexible muscles and joints.

As blood circulation and lymph are activated, muscle breakdown products are released. Because of this it is of importance to drink lots of water after the massage!
