Massage therapy positively influences mood and reduces symptoms of depression through both physiological and psychological mechanisms. Physiologically, massage stimulates the release of endorphins and serotonin, known as “feel-good” chemicals, promoting a sense of well-being and relaxation. It also reduces the levels of stress hormones like cortisol, alleviating the physiological manifestations of stress. Psychologically, the human touch and nurturing environment during a massage session foster a sense of connection, support, and comfort, addressing feelings of loneliness and promoting emotional well-being. Tattva Wellness Spa’s skilled therapists combine these mechanisms to create a holistic experience that can positively influence mood and reduce symptoms of depression.
