It’s all about relaxing!
Relaxation massage promotes full-body and mind wellbeing by releasing muscle tension. The long, gliding strokes help to alleviate discomfort and provide essential therapeutic touch – the practice of which was depicted in cave paintings as early as 15,000 BC. This in turn activates the parasympathetic nervous system, allowing the body to find balance and the mind to experience deep relaxation.
Relaxation massage focuses on giving the client time to recover from the stresses of daily life. It is a treatment that is designed to sooth and relax as opposed to relieving chronic pain or underlying ailments. We use long smooth gliding strokes and pressure that is deeply relaxing but not painful.
The benefits of relaxation massage are many, including lowering blood pressure, improving skin tone and appearance, reducing and relieving muscle tension and improve stress related symptoms.
The benefits of relaxation massage, like other forms, can last for several days.
