A 60-minute massage can lower cortisol, a hormone thatâs produced in response to stress, by an average of 30 percent. And when cortisol levels decline, serotonin â one of the bodyâs anti-pain mechanisms â increases by an average of 28 percent after receiving a massage.
The side effects of massage therapy on the nervous system are many as well. They include a reduction in stress and anxiety, and relaxation. Individuals who receive frequent massage also report a reduction in the level of pain they feel on a regular basis, a side effect caused by the increase of endorphins in the body.
