Bodyrubs Are Good for More Than Just a Body
Mind rub. Spirit rub. Bodyrubs are for more than just a body.
Chances are, if you’ve never had a bodyrub- you don’t really understand what they can offer. Long thought to be just a quick hideaway for the wayward male, bodyrubs are quickly gaining popularity for every adult. This is because these types of massage aren’t just about the body itself- but also the mind and spirit.
“Bodyrubs are often confused with prostitution. But it’s just a misconception. Anyone who has received a quality bodyrub can easily tell you they are about so much more.” Egypt, the mysterious and incredibly talented mind behind Elite Indulgence, explains what bodyrubs actually offer. “Of course, everyone has a different experience with them, but this type of massage is just as beneficial for women, and even couples- as it is men.” People often get caught up in our own stereotypes and misunderstandings, but bodyrubs are worth a second look for anyone who thinks these massages have nothing to offer them.
Your Brain on Bodyrubs
Bodyrubs are physically incredible. The sensual glide of another person’s skin, the steely focus it demands, the cool sensation of breath. While the physical elations that you get from a good bodyrub are spectacular, and often difficult to describe; some pretty incredible things happen inside your brain as well.
Bodyrubs soothe more than just muscle aches and other physiological tensions- they are a complete mental and often spiritual journey. This is because the practice is based on ages-old massage techniques, designed to focus on the body as a whole, alongside mind and spirit. Using techniques that help focus and calm many different parts of your body, not just your muscles and your genitals.
Touch therapies, like massage and bodyrubs, serve to release several different neurotransmitters, helping to create a pervasive sense of relaxation and calm. The release of neurotransmitters like oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin can help mitigate the release of certain stress hormones, like cortisol. For some, bodyrubs can release endorphins- those post-coital or post-work out feel good hormones. Helping to further lower stress and improve your mood. Not just during the massage, but often long after. Creating a euphoric effect that can last for days for some.
Physiological Effects of Bodyrubs
These neurotransmitters then have a cascade effect on a benumbed of other different bodily systems- like digestion, respiratory health, even your lymphatic system! As your bodyrub specialist moves over your body, they help to increase circulation to all parts and pieces that make up your entire you. This means that wastes and toxins are more easily removed, and nutrients can be better delivered. It can help decrease blood pressure and clear lymph drainage, which helps promote healthy function of many different organs in your body.
As your mind begins to function more clearly, and stress melts away, the body responds in kind. As an organ’s work becomes easier, pain and effort are reduced. Which can help with chronic health issues. As circulation improves, muscle tension eases, and range of mobility increases. Which then improves your body’s ability to form new muscles and reduce joint stress. Helping you to move with increased ease.
So, while it may be simple to see the… obvious effects of a bodyrub- what they actually offer goes far beyond what you see in the room. Helping you to focus better, function more freely, and feel better- inside and out.
