Stress may start in the mind, but its impact travels far deeper. Prolonged stress activates the body’s fight-or-flight response, flooding the system with cortisol and other stress hormones. Over time, this hormonal surge triggers chronic inflammation- a hidden culprit behind fatigue, headaches, digestive issues, weight gain, and even autoimmune flare-ups.
Inflammation isn’t just a buzzword- it’s your body’s warning system on overdrive. When left unchecked, it can compromise your immune function, disrupt sleep, and accelerate aging. For many, stress manifests physically in tight muscles, jaw tension, and shallow breathing- creating a feedback loop that amplifies pain and discomfort.
The Solution: Massage for Nervous System Regulation
At Interlude Wellness, we understand the stress-inflammation cycle. Our massage therapy sessions go beyond relaxation. By activating the parasympathetic nervous system (your “rest and digest” state), massage helps regulate cortisol levels, ease physical tension, and reduce inflammation at its root.
Through rhythmic pressure, breath-focused techniques, and tailored bodywork, our treatments give your body the reset it craves- quieting both mental noise and inflammatory pathways.
