Endorphins

Hey Jordan, I have a couple questions about endorphins. What are they, and what are they useful for? I have heard they are supposed to be useful for relaxing.

I’m not trying to be a dick here, but did you try googling “endophins”?

Let’s start here: Endorphins - Wikipedia

Ok, got the dumb question out of the way. I know there’s a lot of pseudoscience and wasn’t sure. My mistake. Anyways, based off of this article/ video,http://mb-inspiring.ntd.tv/video/know-someone-whos-constantly-stressed-these-foot-massage-techniques-may-be-just-what-they-need.html endorphins would then be one of the major factors in the accompanied stress relief? Is that part of the pain science or has it always been understood to be one of the major factors in pain and/ or stress relief?
