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.
In a massage, a caring, safe touch is an invitation to relax. This, together with pain relief, generally produces a relaxation response.. The relaxation response is a state in which your heart and breathing rate slow, your blood pressure goes down, your production of stress hormones decreases, and your muscles relax.
