RELAXATION MASSAGE

​

​

​One of the immediate benefits of massage is a feeling of deep relaxation and calm. This occurs because massage prompts the release of endorphins – the brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that produce feelings of wellbeing. Levels of stress hormones, such as adrenalin, cortisol and norepinephrine, are also reduced. 

 

Some of the physical benefits of massage include:

• reduced muscle tension

• improved circulation

• stimulation of the lymphatic system

• reduction of stress hormones

• increased joint mobility and flexibility

• improved skin tone

• improved recovery of soft tissue injuries

• heightened mental alertness

• reduced anxiety and depression.
