Stress Reduction

Stress, both physical and emotional, has very negative effects on the body and its self healing capabilities. Nartana Massage Therapy Vancouver can help the body’s nervous system to relax, reducing the stress response, boosting your immune system and promoting self healing.

Our bodies Autonomic Nervous system is broken down into two parts: Parasympathetic and Sympathetic.

The Parasympathetic Nervous System is known as the “rest and digest phase.” This is when our body is relaxed and our immune system is fully functioning, allowing our body to heal.

The Sympathetic Nervous System is known as “fight or flight.” This kicks in when our body experiences stress. The blood rushes to our extremities to allow for greater physical exertion, essential if we are in danger. However, our Sympathetic Nervous system can also kick in when we have anxiety, have memories that remind us of past experiences, or just feel overwhelmed. This Stress will leave our bodies vulnerable to disease by reducing the effectiveness of the immune system.

Stress = shut down in immune system = disease.

Having a Massage Treatment for stress reduction is very effective. Fascial work is done that directly affects the Nervous system, shifting you into your Parasympathetic state allowing you to feel total relaxation and promote self healing. Some clients report: “It feels like magic!”
