Description
Getting the most out of life usually means staying adaptable and effectively dealing with stressful situations. One of the best ways of relieving stress is a scalp massage.
The great thing about a scalp massage is that it complements other forms of massage and has a unique range of benefits. A scalp massage stimulates your nerves and blood vessels and calms muscle tension in your upper back, neck and scalp.
Headache Relief
Approximately 45 million Americans suffer from chronic severe headaches on a regular basis. A scalp massage can help relieve the symptoms of chronic headaches and tension headaches by improving circulation at the base of the skull and hairline. Tension tends to accumulate in these areas, as well as around the temples and forehead, and massaging these areas can spell relief from tension headaches and even migraine headaches for some individuals.
Increased Circulation
Research shows that scalp massages help to improve blood flow and facilitate healthy blood vessel activity in the head and facial region. It’s also been found that increasing circulation to the roots of your hair promotes the growth of more hair and might even combat age-related hair loss. Many massage therapists use nourishing oils when giving scalp massages, and this process can eradicate dandruff. Using oil has many benefits – one of which is ensuring that new dandruff doesn’t accumulate.
Enhanced Well-Being
Like a thorough Swedish massage, a scalp massage can leave you feeling more at ease and relaxed. Massage has actually been linked to an increase in feel-good neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine and a decrease in stress neurotransmitters like cortisol. In addition to these subjective benefits, though, scalp massage also reduces the appearance of skin aging and wrinkles. When the face is relaxed you’re much less likely to see that pinched look that over time exacerbates wrinkles and signs of aging.
Improved Sleep
Scalp massages are relaxing and have long been employed by practitioners of traditional chinese medicine to help promote a good night’s sleep. Many clients who receive weekly massages report that they sleep longer and more deeply. Scalp massages go beyond a simple relaxation effect, though. Many individuals find that getting a scalp massage provides them with more energy thanks to the tension-relief effect. You simply have more energy to expend when you’re body isn’t storing as much tension.
Summing up the Benefits
Stress is something that we all have to deal with. Getting a scalp massage is a great way to combat this daily stress and provide a range of other benefits.
If you suffer from headaches or insomnia, as millions of Americans do, then you can get some symptom relief from a scalp massage from a qualified massage therapist. Scalp massages can literally enhance the quantity and quality of your sleep, increase circulation, consistently induce relaxation, and cause you to feel more relaxed and contended.
