Stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing cortisol (stress hormone) levels.

Physical Health Benefits
Pain Relief
Effective for chronic conditions like back pain, neck pain, fibromyalgia, and migraines.

Improved Circulation
Enhances blood flow and oxygenation to tissues, speeding healing and reducing fatigue.

Enhanced Range of Motion and Flexibility
Reduces muscle tension and joint stiffness, especially beneficial for athletes or those with sedentary jobs.

Injury Rehabilitation
Supports recovery from soft tissue injuries (e.g., sprains, strains), post-surgical recovery, and scar tissue breakdown.

Headache Relief
Treats tension-type headaches and migraines, especially those related to muscle tension in the neck and shoulders.
