Relaxation Massage! Are you in need of some stress relief?

Relaxation massage is all about relaxing. It focuses on giving the client time to recover from the stresses of daily life. Massage is an effective method of relieving stress and anxiety, and is renowned for its therapeutic effects - especially when combined with aromatherapy oils. With stress and anxiety on the rise, people are looking for non-medicinal alternatives to relieve their symptoms.

Stress and Anxiety

Stress can have detrimental long term effects on the health of an individual, with stress-induced illnesses on the rise. A range of illnesses and conditions have been attributed to stress, including eczema, migraine, digestive complaints, high blood pressure, heart disease, back-ache, muscular pain and depression. Stress can come from a number of sources, including the workplace, personal relationships and family life. Anxiety is closely related and is characterised by faster breathing, sweating, phobias and even panic attacks.

How can Massage Help Stress and Anxiety?

One of the primary goals of massage is relaxation, so the calm it brings to stress and anxiety sufferers can only be beneficial.

When you experience relaxation massage, you can expect a treatment that involves:

• Long smooth gliding strokes that are rhythmic and flowing

• Pressure that is deeply relaxing, but not painful

• A treatment that is designed to soothe and relax you, not to relieve chronic pain or other underlying ailments

• A therapist who also takes the massage environment into account – look for soothing music, warm luxurious towels, and occasionally the use of essential oils to enhance both the environment and the effects of the massage

The Benefits of Relaxation Massage

As with any kind of massage, the benefits of a relaxation massage can last for several days after your treatment. Relaxation massage – like other forms of massage - can offer the following benefits:

• Fosters peace of mind and perfect feeling of well being

• Helps to relieve mental stress

• Reduces levels of anxiety

• Promotes a relaxed state of mental alertness

• Increases awareness of mind to body connection

• Improvements to skin tone and appearance.

• Some reduction in muscle tension including the relief of muscle tension headaches

• Improvements to any stress-related symptoms. This can include providing a gentle boost to the immune system if you undergo regular treatments.
