Massage Therapy for Illness Prevention

Have you ever had a week that just stressed you out, left you anxiety-ridden, and you were sick by the weekend? Of course, we’ve all been there, but did you ever connect the dots between your stressors and later illness? You would be surprised by how many illnesses are actually caused by elevated stress.

During times of anxiety and stress, the body produces a stress hormone known as glucocorticoids. These hormones can be found in nearly every type of animal, and while humans are no exception, we definitely have different types of stressors than most; we usually don’t have to worry about becoming some predator’s lunch. What glucocorticoids do is send a message to the immune system to the effect of, “Hey buddy, we need to divert some energy away from the immune process so this human can run away from this threat.” So, when stress is present in our lives for days, weeks, months, and possibly even years, our bodies simply can’t fight back against colds, flus, and other illnesses.

While most only seek out massage therapy during times of pain and injury, massage therapy can be successfully used to prevent stress- and anxiety-related illnesses.
