If you suffer from addiction, massage therapy can be a beneficial part of your addiction treatment program. Serenity Now Wellness is pleased to offer massage therapy as part of your addiction program. An experienced massage therapist can do wonders for the healing process.
Studies suggest that Massage therapy can be a beneficial addition to any addiction treatment program. Massage therapy can help to release endorphins like serotonin, dopamine, and other ‘feel-good’ hormones, all of which drip significantly during withdrawal. The release sends a positive response to our brain and other body systems. Massage also helps to decrease cortisol related to stress. During withdrawal and detox, levels of dopamine drop significantly, leading to uncomfortable and even painful sensations. Massage for addiction focuses on the body’s pressure points which are linked to nerves in the brain. This can also help to lower heart rate and blood pressure. Overall, massage for addiction can help to reduce anxiety and agitation, as well as ease with sleep problems. It also serves to provide a natural alternative to drugs for healing. It provides a person with a connection to their body and improves or increases body awareness. In essence, all addictions are about self-soothing. As such, massage therapy can help patients connect to their bodies, which is empowering.
