Relaxation is a benefit of massage
Do massages help you relax?
Massage therapy reduces stress by decreasing the stress hormone cortisol and increasing feel good hormones. Massage can relieve stress by lowering your heart rate and increasing the feeling of physical and mental relaxation. Once stress levels are decreased, symptoms of anxiety and depression can reduce so that you feel calm, collected and completely relaxed.

Relaxing tired and sore muscles. Flowing strokes, with varied pressure, gentle joint manipulations and various techniques – help return muscles to their original state of relaxation. Easing out the fibres to allow the muscle to work from a place of efficiency and not over strung.
Easing aches and pains from poor posture, working from home, caring for children and babies – holding out posture while we work or care for babies is one of the key reasons people come to have a massage.
Your therapist will work with your body to help massage away the feelings of pain and soreness. You will leave feeling lighter, taller, more open and invigorated.
Helping a variety of ailments, such as high blood pressure, arthritis, sciatica etc. Massage is not just for muscles! Your body works together as an amazing collection of fibres, nerves, bones and amazing substances.
When you experience an illness or condition which affects your body, many systems are affected along the way. A sore hip can result in a pressure on the opposite knee as you compensate for your hip not functioning well. Massage can help to ease the pain felt through your body as a whole, not just the affected area.
Massage decreases the stress hormone known as cortisol. At the same time it increases serotonin, a neurotransmitter that is essential for the production of a hormone responsible for control of the sleep/wake cycle, melatonin.
Anxiety and other challenges can cause us to hold tension in our body because we are worried, on high alert, unable to rest and relax properly. This can in turn cause issues with digestion and sleep.
Massage works to allow this state of anxiety and high alert to calm and switch off, allowing the restorative ‘rest and digest’ phase to switch on. This helps digestion work better, easing symptoms of IBS for example, as well as improving sleep and helping your body heal and repair.
