“Massage is a profoundly valuable service… a pleasant, relaxing experience may have any number of therapeutic benefits, including bringing your blood pressure down. However, the subtler benefits of massage extend well beyond that, into the territory of emotional and psychological benefits that are virtually impossible to define or measure — and surprisingly potent.” Paul Ingraham
Scientific research now correlates physical touch with improved cardiovascular health, increased immunity and better general health and wellbeing:
- Basic warm touch calms cardiovascular stress. It activates the body’s vagus nerve, which is intimately involved with our compassionate response. Did you know – NBA teams whose players touch each other more, statistically win more games!
- According to research conducted at the University of North Carolina, women who receive more hugs from their partners have lower heart rates and blood pressure.
- Keltner says, “In recent years, a wave of studies has documented some incredible emotional and physical health benefits that come from touch. This research is suggesting that touch is truly fundamental to human communication, bonding, and health.”
