Additionally, massages have the ability to reduce cortisol levels that increase as the body responds to stress. Therefore, people that aim to reduce stress levels should lower their cortisol levels.

As a result of reduced psychological and physiological stress or anxiety levels, massage therapy can enhance concentration.
