Relaxation massage

Our lives become more stressful every day, yet we devote too little time to our physical and emotional wellbeing. Everyone deserves a much-needed moment of relaxation. A fast pace of life can raise levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which may contribute to poor sleep, headaches and digestive discomfort. Relaxation massage encourages a better mood, helps the body unwind and offers a first step towards releasing everyday stress.

Relaxation massage is a gentle, pleasant hands-on treatment designed to help the whole body relax. It is combined with a calm setting, quiet music and a comfortable room.

You can choose a full-body relaxation massage or a partial treatment focused on the legs, feet, back, arms, abdomen, chest, neck or face. You can expect:

• Relaxing pressure that should not be painful;
• A treatment designed to calm and relax rather than address chronic pain;
• Essential oils selected to enhance the experience.

BENEFITS OF RELAXATION MASSAGE

As with other forms of massage, the benefits may continue for several days. Because ongoing stress affects overall wellbeing, relaxation massage can be a useful part of a preventive self-care routine. It may:

• Temporarily support lower blood pressure;
• Improve peripheral circulation;
• Support skin tone and appearance;
• Ease muscle tension, including tension associated with headaches;
• Help the body cope with stress.
