Strengthening the immune system with Thai massage therapy

Regular therapeutic massage produces significant results in addition to pleasant relaxation.
People living at high stress levels get sick much more easily than others. Moreover, the combination of stress with lack of sleep and malnutrition reduces the immune system’s natural resistance to bacteria and various infections. So the question is: what effect does Thai massage have on the immune system?

Clinical research shows that regular massage not only contributes to stress relief but also naturally increases the cytotoxic capacity of the immune system (the activity of the body’s natural “killer cells”), improving the body’s overall immune function.
In a study by U.S. psychologist Gail Ironson, when HIV-positive patients underwent a 45-minute massage five times a week for a month, there was a clear increase in their serotonin levels while increasing the number of cells that are primarily responsible for protecting the immune system.

The benefits of Thai massage for strengthening the immune system:

• It increases the body’s natural cytotoxic capacity
• Helps fight bacteria and infections
• It naturally enhances the body’s ability to deliver food to important areas

Wellness idea: Thai massage therapy is a really good addition to our training program. Just as regular exercise helps to strengthen muscles, so regular massage helps us maintain our immune system.
