My name is Geri León, and I am a certified massage therapist specializing in various massage techniques and therapeutic services. With a holistic approach to well-being, I offer treatments such as acupressure, hot stone, and prenatal massages. My expertise extends to providing relief for specific conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, trauma aftercare, and post-surgery rehabilitation. While based in Castro Valley, I serve the East Bay Area, including Oakland, Dublin, Hayward, San Leandro, and Pleasanton.
Anxiety, a common and sometimes limiting condition, has become a regrettable reality for many individuals in our modern world. As a certified massage therapist, I’ve seen personally how therapeutic massage may help with both physical and mental symptoms of anxiety.
Massage therapy, with its unique blend of touch, manipulation, and deep relaxation methods, provides a strong, comprehensive approach to fighting anxiety’s grasp on the mind and body. Massage addresses this condition’s physiological and psychological components, creating a secure and supportive environment for clients to find relief from their anxious thoughts and create a profound sense of peace and well-being.
This page highlights many ways in which massage therapy can support your journey toward managing anxiety, and if you require my services, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Deep Relaxation
Massage therapy provides profound relaxation for both the body and the mind, helping you to relieve tension, stress, and concern that has built up in your muscles and neurological system. As a certified massage therapist, I have experienced firsthand how the calming effects of massage can put clients at rest and put them in a deep state of peace.
Stress Reduction
Massage therapy is an effective strategy for lowering stress and increasing relaxation in the body. Massage relieves and renews you by focusing on areas of tension and stiffness. As a massage therapist, I’ve been trained to employ a variety of methods, including Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, and aromatherapy, to help you relax and relieve tension.
Nervous System Regulation
Anxiety can disrupt nervous system function, resulting in increased arousal and susceptibility to stress. Massage therapy can assist in regulating the autonomic nervous system, supporting a switch from the sympathetic (fight-or-flight) to the parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) response. Massage therapy balances the nervous system and alleviates anxiety symptoms by generating a state of relaxation and tranquility.
Reduction in Muscle Tension
Anxiety can appear in the body as muscle tension, stiffness, and pain. Massage therapy alleviates these physical signs of worry by relaxing tight muscles, boosting circulation, and increasing the passage of oxygen and nutrients to tense regions. Massage therapy reduces muscular tension and restores mobility and flexibility, resulting in physical and mental relaxation.
The therapeutic potential of massage therapy appears as a powerful ally in the fight against anxiety. Massage restores balance and well-being by addressing the underlying causes of bodily and mental suffering. As a practitioner, I’ve seen numerous clients undergo significant changes, releasing the weight of worry and regaining a sense of calm and vigor that had previously escaped them.
If you’re ready to experience the transforming effect of massage therapy, I welcome you to book a session with me. We’ll go on a journey of healing, relaxation, and self-discovery as you overcome worry and enjoy a renewed feeling of calm and vitality.
