Can massage improve immune system?
Massage therapy works to boost immune system function by reducing anxiety and stress, increasing white blood cell counts, decreasing levels of cortisol (a stress hormone), and activating disease-fighting cells. Massage can also decrease pain by relieving muscle spasms, cramps, general body tension, edema (swelling), and inflammation. It works by increasing the blood flow, which assists in the removal of toxins and increases oxygen and nutrients in affected areas.
Endorphins stimulate immune system cells, which also helps target illnesses like cancer, as well as wrinkles (Ref.: NHS Direct - a health advice and information service provided by the National Health Service in England
What are the benifits of better circulation?
Improved circulation is only one great advantage of massage chair therapy, and if it is combined with a good diet and exercise, it will not only give you a healthier lifestyle but will also ensure your longevity. Now, circulation provides us with benefits like enhanced blood flow, efficient removal of waste from tissues and muscles, lowering of blood pressure to normal, and improvement in body functioning. So increase circulation with massage chair therapy and start leading a healthy life.
Massage therapy reduces waste from metabolism in muscles. Metabolic waste includes nitrogen compounds such as water, carbon dioxide, phosphates, and sulphates. These are excreted through the gastrointestinal tract and the lungs. Massage can help the body better excrete these metabolic wastes to increase health.
Can massage increase my circulation?
Increases circulation to knotted-up areas by opening the blood vessels. Blood vessels carry blood to organs in the body, such as the brain. Having enough blood flowing to the brain increases brain power. Without enough blood, the brain will not work as it should. Keeping blood vessels open will also prevent atherosclerosis.
Does massage therapy help pain, anxiety and depression?
Yes, massage therapy has a positive effect on biochemistry. It decreases levels of cortisol and increases levels of serotonin and dopamine. The research reviewed includes studies on depression (including sex abuse and eating disorder studies), pain syndrome studies, research on auto-immune conditions (including asthma and chronic fatigue), immune studies (including HIV and breast cancer), and studies on the reduction of stress on the job, the stress of aging, and pregnancy stress.
In studies in which cortisol was assayed either in saliva or urine, significant decreases were noted in cortisol levels (averaging decreases of 31%). In studies in which the activating neurotransmitters (serotonin and dopamine) were assayed in urine, an average increase of 28% was noted for serotonin and an average increase of 31% was noted for dopamine. These studies combined suggest the stress-alleviating effects (decreased cortisol) and the activating effects (increased serotonin and dopamine) of massage therapy on a variety of medical conditions and stressful experiences.

The benefits also include improved muscle tone, enhanced pulmonary and immune function, decreased anxiety,enhanced body image, increased bonding and attachment, a healthy sense of boundaries, stress reduction, and an overall sense of well-being.
Controlling stress is crucial for children with diabetes, asthma, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA), and skin problems. As stress hormone levels rise, symptoms increase, as in the case of diabetes and asthma, sometimes putting the child's life at risk.
