In addition to KAILO's extensive corrective skin, cosmetic, beauty and spa treatments, KAILO is also well known for its massage menu.
We all know massages make us feel good and can help with tension, sore muscles and stress, but massage is also incredibly good for our overall physical and mental health.
Here are just some of the benefits of regular massage.
According to TIME magazine, one Australian study found that a 10-minute muscle massage after a workout could reduce soreness by 30%. A separate study on massage found that levels of the stress hormone cortisol dropped 31% following a rubdown, while levels of feel-good hormones like dopamine and serotonin increased roughly 30%.
In fact, pain reduction—along with depression relief—is one of the benefits that research has most consistently linked to massage.
Massage may improve immune system function in people with cancer and leukemia, along with reducing their physical and emotional pain. Several fMRI studies have shown that massage increases blood flow in areas of the brain associated with mood and stress regulation. Pressure receptors under the skin, when stimulated, increase vagal activity, which is a major component of the human nervous system that plays a role in autonomic functions like heart rate, breathing and digestion. Increased activity in the vagus nerve could have—among other benefits—a meditation-like calming effect, which would explain the drop in cortisol and other stress-related symptoms.
