The Great Connection Between Our Nervous System And Body Massage

Actually, massage is connected to our nervous system. What is the composition of the nervous system? Well, the answer is nerves, of course. Nerves transmit certain signals called impulses that can be used by our body. This is how organs communicate with each other in our body. For example, your brain automatically telling your lungs to breathe and your heart to keep pumping blood every single time. All these are done subconsciously without you realizing it! If you would have to control these processes consciously, you would run out of brain power! More here 마사지

The subconscious nerve system is composed of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The former prepares your body for action while the latter works to calm you down.

What has massaging got to do with nerves?

Well, when you receive a massage, your nerves stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system. This can lower your pulse, slow your breathing down and making you feel relaxed as a whole. This is why you can sleep very easily when you are receiving a body massage, especially by a highly trained professional masseuse!

Massaging can also help soften the muscles as well as other soft tissues that exist around these nerves. In some cases, these these tissues or muscles trap these poor nerves. All these problems can be solved by a body massage.

Another connection between massage and our body nervous system is when massaging could provide you better sense of awareness. This is because we all have this specialized nerves called 'proprioceptors' that function to inform us of our body in space. With this nerve, you have the perception of depth, position and movement.
