What are the benefits of a full-body massage?

Massages are an effective way of reducing stress and healing the body.

Reduces muscle tension and discomfort

Muscle tension can be uncomfortable to deal with. Most of the time, muscle tension is caused by stress or exercise. It can cause the body to feel stiff and more difficult to move.

Massages can help relieve the tension in the muscles, allowing you to move more freely and with reduced aches and pain. Relaxing massages may also help to correct bad posture and minimise muscle spasms.

Decreases stress hormones

Stress is something that we all have to deal with from time to time, and massages can help us to deal with it more easily. Cortisol is one of the main stress hormones, which increases the level of sugar in the bloodstream.

Massages helps to increase the more positive hormones around the body, such as endorphins, which replace these stress hormones.

Improves circulation and blood flow

Massage therapy is extremely effective at moving blood around the body. The techniques and pressure used can help to heal muscles throughout the body. As the pressure is alleviated, new blood can flow through. The increased blood flow as a result of massages can help to support your blood pressure. Speak to a doctor if you’re experiencing symptoms of high blood pressure.

Massages encourage relaxation and helps to support the immune system, nervous system and overall health. Some types of massages can also help to reduce headaches.
