It is very common for men to not think about ways they can relieve general aches and pains in their body. They tend to just go about their days unknowingly enduring tight muscles and a limited range of motion until the day their doctor or spouse recommends a massage. At New Paradise Men’s Spa in New York City, they hope to change this mindset. They specialize in men’s massage and other relaxation and wellness techniques targeted specifically for the male physique.  

If you have not yet experienced how a men’s massage can enhance your well-being, here are just a few of the ways it has been shown to improve both mental and physical health:

• Reduces Chronic Neck Pain: According to the Clinical Journal of Pain, ten neck massages over ten weeks can reduce chronic neck pain up to 55%. Another study performed by Karen Sherman at Group Health Research Institute in Seattle, discovered that those who received three 30 to 60-minute massages a week for four weeks showed a significant improvement in neck function and were twice as likely to report a decrease in pain compared to those not receiving massage treatment.
• Improves Mood: Researchers at the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami School of Medicine found that cortisol (the stress hormone) levels were lowered by up to 53% following a massage. It also helped to increase serotonin and dopamine, two neurotransmitters that help to reduce depression.
• Lowers Blood Pressure: Men who have been diagnosed with high blood pressure should definitely look into massage therapy. A study performed by the Wirral Metropolitan College Department of Medicine in Liverpool found that it can lower both diastolic (pressure in the arteries between heartbeats) and systolic blood pressure (pressure in the arteries during a heartbeat). Another study published in the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies found that ten 30-minute massages over the course of five weeks helped to effectively reduce blood pressure.
