Why do we need a body massage?

Massage is known to boost physical, mental and emotional well-being. Getting a massage from a qualified professional can soothe injury, provide rehabilitation or simply rejuvenate your senses. 

There are many different massage styles, with some having been around for thousands of years! High-end therapist training involves many hours in the therapy room honing specific moves, designed to serve a particular purpose.

Depending on your chosen practitioner, your session may involve techniques such as implementing the use of hot stones, aromatherapy or paraffin wax. They may also employ the following:

  • Deep tissue massage
  • Deep thermal therapy
  • Massage for stress or fatigue relief

Being pregnant takes its toll on the body too, with many mothers suffering with joint pain during the pregnancy. Finding a highly qualified and safe practitioner is prudent if you or someone you love is suffering.

The main benefits are as follows: 

A full body massage helps to boost blood circulation. 
This improves muscle regeneration and healing after injury. This can also boost the appearance of your skin, resulting in a soft glow and smooth surface. 

Releasing Muscle Tension from stress, bad posture or heavy lifting. 
Many of us put our bodies through a lot on a daily basis, whether at home or at work. This strain contributes to feeling fatigued and run down. A full body massage can alleviate some of these symptoms. 

Struggling with insomnia or poor sleeping habits?
The session will relax your entire body, this in turn helps your mind to unwind too. If your practitioner employs aromatherapy techniques these can be especially helpful in this regard. 

Essential oils such as lavender or chamomile are a fantastic tool to help you relax.
