I wish more women knew that massage therapy can help with peri/menopausal symptoms, so let's talk menopause and massage.
The hormonal changes in the body during menopause can increase stress in women. Often menopause can be a time of anxiety, irritability, and fatigue for many women. One of the greatest benefits of massage is the deep relaxation it provides.
Reducing stress can also help ease many of the symptoms of menopause. Massage encourages the body to function more efficiently. As a result, some women report experiencing fewer or less intense symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats and headaches.
Massage boosts blood circulation and lymph flow. This improved circulation can ease headaches, leg cramps, muscle and joint pain, and reduce overall muscle tension. Massage of the lower back and abdomen, in particular, can be effective in relieving stress and increasing blood flow around the reproductive organs.
What is the best massage to help with menopause symptoms? Every woman experiences menopause differently. There isn't one single massage treatment, because one size doesn't fit all. Always speak to your massage therapist who will tailor the massage treatment to your needs and provide a personalised session that will give you the best results.
Massage therapy won't stop the hot flashes and it isn't a replacement for HRT treatment, but it can support you on your journey.
