The connection between a massage and the brain..
Think of the brain as a central computer that controls all the body's functions. The rest of the nervous system is like a network that relays messages back and forth from the brain to different parts of the body. It does this via the spinal cord, which runs from the brain down through the back. You have two main types of nerves: Sensory nerves carry signals to your brain to help you touch, taste, smell and see. Motor nerves carry signals to your muscles or glands to help you move and function.

What happens to the brain during the process of a massage?
During the process of a massage the brain sends messages through your sensory nerves to your body to relax as this feels pleasant. As a result the brain and your organs don’t have to work as hard as they normally would and therefore the whole body gets a break leading to total inner calmness often associated to feeling a bit sleepy.
