At Bubu Wellness Centre in Finchley Road, London, we believe massage is far more than just a way to relax. Touch is our most fundamental sense, deeply connected to how we experience safety, comfort, and healing. Modern research confirms what we’ve always known: massage therapy is one of the most effective ways to restore balance, reduce stress, and support your overall wellbeing.
Why Touch Matters for Health and Wellbeing
Touch is the first sense we develop, even before birth. It plays a vital role in how we connect to the world around us. A large review of 212 studies with nearly 13,000 participants found that regular massage and human touch consistently reduced pain, stress, depression, and anxiety.
What’s more, the research shows:
- Consistency is key – regular shorter sessions can bring greater long-term benefits than occasional long treatments.
- Human touch matters most – while weighted blankets or gadgets can help, nothing replaces the soothing effect of skilled hands.
- Mind and body benefits – massage helps reduce tension, improve circulation, and promote emotional wellbeing.
The Science Behind Massage
Massage works on both the body and brain. Here’s how:
- Nervous System Reset: Gentle pressure activates specialised skin receptors (C-tactile fibres) that calm the nervous system.
- Hormone Balance: Massage lowers cortisol (stress hormone) while increasing serotonin and dopamine, improving mood and sleep.
- Pain Relief & Mobility: By easing tight muscles, improving blood flow, and releasing fascia, massage helps with recovery and reduces discomfort.
- Deep Relaxation: Stimulating the vagus nerve encourages your body to shift into “rest and digest” mode — the natural state for healing.
