Benefits of Relaxation Massage
Like other types of massage, a relaxation massage can provide these benefits:
- Temporarily lower blood pressure
- Improve peripheral circulation
- Enhance skin tone and appearance
- Stimulate gastrointestinal motility (help regulate bowel movements)
- Reduce muscle tension, including relief from tension headaches
Stress Relief & Wellness
Regular treatments may also help with stress-related symptoms by providing a gentle boost to the immune system. Massage therapy can encourage the release of endorphins—your body's natural painkillers—which also help reduce stress and anxiety.
Moreover, the release of serotonin and dopamine ("feel-good" hormones) can support overall wellness.
Precautions
Before booking a Relaxation Massage, please keep the following in mind:
- Inform your therapist about any medical conditions or allergies.
- Avoid having a heavy meal right before the massage.
- Try to clear your mind and relax as much as possible before the session begins.
- Drink extra water after your massage to help flush out toxins.
FAQs
What's the difference between relaxation and deep tissue massage?
Relaxation massage uses gentle pressure and flowing strokes for overall stress relief, while deep tissue massage uses firm pressure to target muscle knots and chronic tension. Relaxation is ideal for beginners or those seeking pure relaxation.
How often should I get a relaxation massage?
For general wellness, once every 2-4 weeks is recommended. If you're dealing with high stress, more frequent sessions (weekly) may be beneficial until you feel balanced.
Can I request specific areas to focus on?
Absolutely! While relaxation massage typically covers the full body, you can ask your therapist to spend more time on areas like shoulders, neck, or lower back based on your needs.
