Hormonal stress affects energy, mood, sleep, and weight regulation. For both men and women in Port St. Lucie, regular massage therapy can help rebalance hormone production by calming the nervous system and reducing chronic cortisol levels.
Hormones Impacted by Massage
- Cortisol: Decreases stress response.
- Serotonin & Dopamine: Improves mood and energy.
- Melatonin: Enhances sleep quality.
- Testosterone & Estrogen: Balanced indirectly through improved stress resilience (Field, 2016).
Research Evidence
- Field (2016) showed consistent massage reduced cortisol by up to 31%.
- Moyer et al. (2004) found increases in dopamine and serotonin after 5 sessions.
- Diego et al. (2004) demonstrated improved parasympathetic tone, promoting hormonal regulation.
