Concentration and massage therapy

Life is busy and complicated, and it’s hard to stay focused when tight muscles, tension or migraine headaches and other stress-related symptoms are a constant and miserable source of distraction. Chronic shoulder, neck or back pain caused by prolonged sitting or standing makes it difficult or even impossible to give anything else your full attention. If your symptoms are allowed to progress, you’ll find it increasingly difficult to concentrate, and this can lead to poor decision-making and subsequent lack of confidence. Fortunately, massage therapy can break the cycle of stress and pain; it can restore your focus and your self-esteem.

Massage Boosts Confidence and Focus

​Massage enables you to reach a state of total physical and mental relaxation, and being relaxed, grounded and free from pain has a huge impact on your decision-making abilities and the way you process information. In fact, studies have demonstrated a clear link between regular massage therapy and increased concentration. Here’s how massage can help.

Pain relief is the most obvious benefit. Massage gently releases built-up muscle tension, spasms and painful adhesion. Without pain, you can better concentrate on your job, family or education. Pain-related depression or anxiety are also linked to poor concentration. Massage releases endorphins such as dopamine and serotonin, which produce a feeling of well-being and combat negative emotions. Massage increases blood flow to the brain. With more oxygen and essential nutrients, your brain operates more efficiently, and your mental clarity and ability to focus is increased. Poor sleep quality leads to mental fog, poor memory and diminished alertness during the day. Massage has been proven to produce better quality sleep.
