Are you stressed and sleep deprived? You’re not alone. Millions of Americans suffer from these two conditions, which can lead to a host of other health problems such as obesity, high blood pressure and depression. Fortunately, there are many things you can do in your everyday life to improve your quality of sleep. One thing is getting a massage therapy session at least once a month. Massage therapy improves circulation, eases muscle tension and reduces pain in both the body and head because it releases endorphins that make us feel good! It also helps rid muscles of lactic acid by increasing blood flow to them when they’re deeply compressed during the massage process. Excess lactic acid affects our ability to fall asleep.
Massage therapy is a great way to relieve stress and sleep better. It can help you with many health issues but especially that lactic acid buildup in muscles, which causes pain. If you are not into that idea of going to the spa or getting a professional massage then try massaging yourself at home! Simply take 10 minutes out of your day for some self-massage techniques like acupressure points on your feet and back along with gentle stretching exercises. Not only will this reduce muscle tension but it will also improve blood flow throughout your body leading to improved circulation and more restful sleep! Happy resting 🙂
