Weight Loss: Can Body Massage Be a Solution?

Last Updated on 9 June 2024 by Brisbane Livewell Clinic

So can a Body Massage help you lose weight? As a form of Alternative Medicine, Body Massage is considered as an effective treatment for physical and mental relaxation. But, that is not all. Did you know Body Massage can also help you lose weight? As massage involves putting pressure on specific body areas; it can help improve your metabolism, reduce body fat and much more.

Read on to learn how a deep Body Massage can contribute to weight loss:

Improves blood circulation

Massage can help improve blood flow in active and non-active people, says a study. Massage stimulates the flow of blood and lymph vessels, thereby improving blood circulation. Increased blood circulation ensures essential nutrients are supplied to vital body organs.

Reduces body fat

Massage, along with a healthy diet and regular exercise, can help reduce body fat. Make sure you get a deep massage, targeting areas having excess fat.

Activates body metabolism

Our metabolism can slow down because of stress and an unhealthy diet. This can lead to the accumulation of fat and weight gain. Body Massage is not just an effective treatment for muscle relaxation; it can also cause weight loss by accelerating metabolism. Since massage promotes blood circulation, it helps enhance oxygen supply throughout the body. Healthy blood circulation allows muscles to burn more calories.

Reduces Cellulite

If you have excessive cellulite, massage can do wonders. It boosts blood circulation, which helps release toxins from the body. At the same time, it reduces fluids in the cellulite-comprising body areas.

Boosts muscle strength

Massage is the most effective way to relax muscles after a heavy workout. This helps enhance and maintain muscle strength, which is crucial for injury prevention. Hence, it is essential for athletes and those who engage in high levels of physical exercise to get massages frequently. It is the best treatment for stiff muscles.
