"Research shows that it increases levels of the good-mood chemicals serotonin and dopamine (the same chemicals increased by some antidepressant medications); physically loosens tight muscles, ligaments, and tendons; and causes the body to release food-absorption hormones. Last but not least, rubdowns decrease levels of cortisol, the stress chemical that makes us feel emotionally and physically tense and hinders our ability to focus."
