Massage is an ancient treatment used for calming & healing the body. There are over 80 different types of massage but all of them involve pressing, rubbing, and otherwise manipulating the muscles and other soft tissues of the body, often varying pressure and movement. Massage relaxes the soft tissues and increases delivery of blood and oxygen to the areas treated. The muscles, blood vessels and nerves are all stimulated during this process, helping to warm the area and release endorphins (those ‘feel good’ hormones), thereby decreasing pain. The increased circulation also boosts the immune system and speeds elimination of toxins from the system. Regular massage should form part of your healthy lifestyle to prevent knots and tension from building up. Sometimes clients don’t realize how tense their body is until the tension is released through massage.
The pressures of life take their toll in many ways, often leaving us stressed, tense and with a variety of aches and pains. It can often be difficult to achieve a good work / life balance and take time out to resolve these issues. Whether you are looking to address specific problems such as a stiff or aching back, neck or shoulders, frequent headaches or simply to treat yourself to a little luxury, massage is the ideal way to take a little time out for yourself and get back on track.
