Research shows that Body To Body Massage can balance the Autonomic Nervous System which controls and coordinates all of the body’s automatic responses such as digestion, breathing, immune response and circulatory flow.
It is divided into two parts, the sympathetic and the parasympathetic. Between them, they ensure that the body can function and remain balanced despite the many internal and external changes constantly affecting the body. Our Sympathetic nervous system energizes the body preparing us for action, while our Parasympathetic calms and normalises the body, restoring it to perfect equilibrium.
In a healthy person, both branches of this system will function with minimum effort to maintain body balance. If a person is subjected to stress, whether it is physical or emotional this system will have to work harder to maintain balance. Inevitably it is the sympathetic branch that tends to dominate, as the body’s most important needs during stressful times are for energy and adrenaline to keep functioning.
