Social Anxiety & Stress? 10 Minutes of Massage Can Help!

Manage Anxiety as the World Re-Opens

As the pandemic restrictions are eased and the country re-opens, social anxiety or re-entry anxiety can be an issue for many people. Going back to work at the office, heavy traffic commutes, obligations for social and family gatherings can all increase your stress. A 2021 study National Library of Medicine shows social anxiety symptoms significantly increased during COVID shutdowns.

Some common symptoms of Anxiety:

  • Feeling nervous, restless or tense
  • Increased heart rate
  • Irritability
  • Breathing rapidly
  • Muscle tension
  • Sleep problems

Just 10 Minutes of Massage Can Help

According to an article published in Medical News Today, a study found that 10 minutes of massage or relaxation can activate the body's system for overcoming stress. Massage helps release endorphins (the "feel-good" hormones) that calm the nervous system. When endorphins are released, stress-related hormones are decreased. Massage increases circulation, this delivers more blood to the muscles and in turn, helps to remove toxins and relieve tension.

Massage can also help:

  • Reduce stress hormone levels
  • Increase serotonin and dopamine
  • Help to rebalance your hormones
  • Relieve muscle tension
  • Relax over-active minds
  • Decrease anxiety and depression
  • Increase feelings of content and well being
  • Lower heart rate
  • Promote better sleep

Some other ways to help with your anxiety are to limit your social media screen time, focus on what you can control, make a list of things you're excited to do again, reintroduce activities slowly, and make goals to reconnect.

Massage can be used anytime to relax the body. With a massage chair, in the comfort of home, you can use it anytime you need it — before work, after work, before bed, or even before a large social gathering.
