Gentle touch for stressful times
Therapeutic massage gently encourages the body to release and relax, opening new pathways to improved health and well-being.
Massage can also be very effective in the reversal of stress. Inner feelings of tension and anxiety are replaced by calm, tranquillity and a sense of emotional well-being. Tense muscles register this change, and their relaxation becomes deeper and more permanent. As well as being deeply relaxing, therapeutic massage can help with a variety of conditions including:
- Back, neck and shoulder pain
- Sciatica
- Headaches
- Insomnia
- Anxiety attacks
- High blood pressure
- Musculo-skeletal imbalance
- Feeling run down
- Arthritis
- Emotional upheaval
Clients who have regular massage report that they feel emotionally and physically stronger and more able to meet with the stresses that every day life brings. Both in health and disease, many now use it as part of their general health-care programme as it can:
- Reduce blood pressure
- Calm the nervous system
- Lower the heart rate
- Reduce blood sugar levels
- Improve circulation
- Eliminate toxins
- Boost the immune system
- Restore sleep patterns
