Improving Fatigue Symptoms with Massage Therapy

Fatigue is something we expect to feel temporarily. After a long day or a hard workout, fatigue is normal. But when it stays with you from one day to the next, even week after week, it's time to seek a solution. Massage is among the most holistic ways to help your body overcome fatigue naturally by promoting your inherent abilities to remove toxins, deliver nutrients, and release stress held tight for too long.

If you have been experiencing fatigue or are fighting chronic fatigue syndrome, massage can help by addressing fatigue at its roots, where weariness is stored in your muscles, circulation, and lymphatic system to help you feel naturally energized.


Massage Helps Stress Leave the Body

The purpose of massage therapy is to remove the physical symptoms of stress that are locked up in your body. Muscles that are held tense for too long become knotted and result in more tension. Buildup of stress toxins like cortisol and lactic acid cause you to feel tired and achy all the time.

Massage will help your muscles unwind their knots and release tension so you will stop feeling so tightly strung. Massage that focuses on lymphatic drainage will help your body process those stress toxins so they aren't locked up in your tissue anymore. This will leave you feeling relaxed and refreshed because stored stress is literally leaving your body with each gentle motion.


Nutrient Delivery Through Circulation

People who struggle with circulatory issues or a low-movement lifestyle often feel fatigue due to nutrient delivery. The role of your red blood cells is to deliver nutrients like oxygen and minerals to the cells throughout your body. These nutrients help you generate energy on a cellular level, rebuild tissue from damage and exercise, and feel energetic enough to take on the world.

Massage promotes circulation, helping your blood flow more freely and efficiently from your heart, out to your extremities, and back again. Enhancing this cycle can help your body make the best possible use of nutrients from your food, helping you feel energized instead of fatigued and able to enjoy each day with properly nourished cells and a stronger immune system.


Promoting Deep and Rejuvenating Sleep

Massage is also known to enhance the depth, quality, and ease of sleep. If you are fatigued because you can't fall asleep, stay asleep, or experience poor quality sleep, a good massage can help you finally get the deep and rejuvenating sleep you need to rebuild your energy each day.

Sleep is essential for feeling energetic during the day. It provides a repair and recovery cycle, helps your mind process thoughts and stressors from the day, and prepares you to face each new day feeling refreshed. 

Many people who experience fatigue find themselves falling asleep on the massage table, and that's perfectly alright. But your massage will also help you get a good night's sleep later on, and may enhance your sleep quality for several days afterward. This can also be the trigger your body needed to "relearn" how to sleep so that further sleep cycles will be similarly restful.

Massage Helps Your Body to Regain Energy and Strength

​Feeling fatigue has many possible causes. Whether your fatigue stems from circulatory problems, long-term stress, or chronic fatigue syndrome, massage therapy has the ability to help you change those conditions within your body. Promoting circulation, lymphatic drainage, and releasing tension from your muscles can help you finally get the rest and relief you need to recover from your fatigue. It will certainly help you sleep better, and good sleep is essential for waking up feeling energetic and powerful.
