Why do you feel good after a massage? |
Massage significantly increases the level of serotonin in our body (Field, 2005), in some cases this increase can reach more than 25% (1 quarter) serotonin is a feel good hormone, when its level increases we fell good. Dopamine is also a feel good hormone and massage increases the level of dopamine in our body, sometimes by more than 30% (almost 1 third).
As if that was not enough, massage also decreases the level of cortisol in the body, the level of cortisol shows our stress. When stress decreases, the level of cortisol decreases as well.
