There is a growing amount of research showing that massage therapy can benefit the immune system to help combat bacteria and virus.
If you’re looking to stay healthy and fend off colds and virus, then lifestyle matters. Massage Therapy may help improve how the body functions, by invigorating blood flow while increasing the body’s level of white blood cells it produces. Changes in lymphocytes play a role in defending the body from all kinds of free radicals that can harm you.
Massage therapy may also help to boost and enhance dopamine and serotonin levels in the body. This results in reduced anxiety levels overall. The impact of increased serotonin levels aids to strengthen the immune system and improve cognitive function in the long term.

Ask your Massage Therapist what steps you can take to develop a healthier lifestyle, including regular massage therapy or other manual therapies. Everyone is different so it’s important to find an approach that fits your needs specifically. One person may need deep tissue massage, while another may require lymphatic drainage.
