Sleep disorders
Breathe deep and sleep: massage and sleep disorders.
Poor quality, or insufficient sleep vastly undermines productivity, health and well being.
Menopause and aging naturally tamper with sleep, as do increasingly significant environmental factors: increased ambient light and noise, increased travel, times of high anxiety.
Massage therapy is vital today to help achieve life giving sleep.
Normal sleep consists of four distinct stages followed by rapid eye movement (REM). During deep sleep serotonin is released, which prepares the body for the release of growth hormone, by which the body repairs pervasive micro-damage from the preceding day.
If you do not enter deep sleep your body cannot apply these natural healing mechanisms.
Massage directly effects the nervous, muscular, circulatory and organic (digestive and respiratory) systems, improving your ability to sleep.
Our approach
If you are anxious or upset, massage can calm the nerves and relax the muscles. If you suffer regional pain syndromes massage will ease the nervous pain signals, and minimize the discomfort of inflammation.
If a disruption in any of these systems is making sleep elusive and precarious, massage therapy eases the discomfort and makes for a better sleep.
