Benefits of Regular Massage for Stress Relief
Modern printed and multimedia materials often cover methods of anti-stress self-massage by affecting certain active points of the head, neck, popliteal pits, and other parts of the body. Nevertheless, it is better to entrust anti-stress self-massage to a professional Coquitlam Massage Therapist.
The technique of anti-stress Massage Therapy Coquitlam is similar to conventional massage, although it has some differences. As before any massage, you need to take a shower. In this case, the shower has not only a hygienic, but also a calming, relaxing effect. After that, the masseur applies gel to the skin in order to facilitate movements. Instead of gel, you can use aroma oils – it’s even better.

The massage process
Anti-stress Coquitlam Massage Therapy begins, like any other, with stroking. This is followed by rubbing, kneading, vibration, and the final stage is stroking again. Unlike conventional massage, anti-stress massage is aimed at relaxation. The movements are unhurried, smooth, there are no active deep influences with weights, squeezing. Another difference from traditional massage is that extensive anatomical areas are captured during anti–stress massaging. There are no clear methods here, the masseur often improvises on the go. The back, shoulder girdle, neck, chest, occipital region are massaged. The criterion for the success of Physiotherapy Coquitlam is the patient’s relaxed state, sedation (calming), normalization of breathing and cardiac activity.
Advantages of anti-stress massage
The beneficial effect of anti-stress Massage Therapy in Coquitlam on the body is manifested in the following:
- Tense muscles relax;
- Improves blood circulation and lymph flow through blood and lymphatic vessels;
- Mental functions improve – thinking, memorization, attention;
- Sleep is normalized;
- Improves the work of internal organs and systems.
All these effects make Coquitlam Physiotherapy indispensable for the recovery of the body after severe psychoemotional stress. It is noteworthy that in medical terms, the concept of stress is broader than is commonly believed in everyday life. Stress is any pathological effect on the body, leading to its maladaptation and subsequent negative processes in organs and systems. Stress can be a consequence not only of negative emotions, but also of diseases of internal organs, infectious processes, hypothermia and injuries. And proper massaging can, if not completely eliminate, then minimize the consequences of these stressful effects.

Massage relieves physical tension
The more anxious the soul, the more bodily tensions. You’ve probably noticed that a frightened person instinctively pulls his head into his shoulders. If a person is constantly afraid, worried about himself or loved ones, this position of the body becomes his constant companion. As a result, headaches and a constant feeling of fatigue appear. Also, our diaphragm can strain due to any emotional tension. The best massage therapist Coquitlam or osteopath will definitely notice and work out such physical clamps. This will help improve blood circulation and oxygen flow to the brain. This means that you are guaranteed to feel relieved.
