4. It can improve the quality of your sleep
Speaking of a good night’s rest, did you know that regular deep tissue massages can help to ward off insomnia? The combination of its intense relaxation, anti-anxiety, and pain-reducing properties can help insomniacs to fall asleep faster and also deeper. Massage therapy has been shown to increase the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that is responsible for making you feel relaxed.
Pain is one of the biggest disturbances of sleep, especially chronic pain and muscle cramps. If you find that you are waking up in the middle of the night in agony and you struggle to fall back to sleep, a series of deep tissue massages could drastically improve your slumber. Better sleep improves almost every aspect of life, so fixing the problem at its root cause can be massively beneficial.
It’s also perfectly acceptable to fall asleep during the massage, so feel free to completely let go and relax!
