Meditative Massage Therapy Benefits

One of the great benefits of massage therapy is its ability to combine massage with the practice of meditation. Meditative massage therapy has been shown to improve relaxation and bring peace of mind. At Procure Therapy, we specialize in meditative massage therapy and helping our clients achieve the maximum benefits of this combined practice of massage and meditation.

During meditative massage therapy, a person is able to achieve a deeper state of relaxed awareness. This allows for a greater release of tension which promotes healing. In addition to promoting healing, meditative massage therapy has been shown to have several other benefits for a person’s well-being. Among those benefits is a major reduction in anxiety. While meditation alone can reduce anxiety, meditative massage therapy results can be much more dramatic. Stress hormones, such as cortisol, are reduced in meditative massage while helpful hormones, such as dopamine, are released. This combination of meditative massage therapy AND the reduction and increase of hormones can be powerful at reducing overall anxiety levels.

Meditative massage therapy also allows for improved relaxation. The massage physically relaxes an individual’s body while the meditation calms both mind and body. This can give a person an increased sense of inner peace and well-being. The combination of meditative massage can be extremely beneficial to people who struggle to relax at a deeper level on their own.

Another advantage of meditative massage therapy is that it allows a person to obtain a greater insight into how thoughts affect emotion. Meditative massage therapy helps an individual to practice turning a negative emotion into a more healthy thought or emotion. By reframing a thought positively, a person can better enhance their emotional health and well-being.

Meditative massage therapy has also been shown to reduce physical pain. Studies have shown that meditative massage therapy can help reduce chronic pain levels significantly. This helps lower a body’s inflammation which then reduces pain and promotes relief on a wide range of ailments.

Heart Health can also be improved with consistent practice of meditative massage therapy. This combination of practices helps lower stress levels which is often linked to poor heart health issues. Meditative massage therapy improves circulation, lowers blood pressure, reduces inflammation - all of which are beneficial to a person’s heart health. If an individual suffers from cardiac issues or high blood pressure, meditative massage therapy could be very helpful.*

Overall, meditative massage therapy is a wonderful way to experience relaxation, stress management, healing and overall health and well-being. At Procure Therapy, we strive to enhance our clients’ mind-body connection through mediative massage therapy and encourage our clients to fully engage in order to gain the most out of this process.
