There are several that are released during massage and they can all be considered under the umbrella term as 'feel good' hormones. At the same time the 'not-so-good-for-you' are reduced. The hormones that are released during a professional licensed massage therapist include; dopamine which makes you feel good and improves normal brain functioning). seratonin ( a general mood enhancing hormone), and oxytoxin (a general feel good hormone nicknamed the 'hugging hormone). The ones that are decreased are the ones associated with short-term and long-stress and include; epinephrine, norepinephrine, and cortisol. All of these tend to lower the immune system and disrupt digestion and tissue repair.

What type of hormones are not soluble in blood?

Hormones that are not soluble in blood are typically steroid hormones and thyroid hormones. These hormones are lipophilic, meaning they are fat-soluble and require transport proteins to travel through the bloodstream.
