The Benefits of Regular Massage
Would you like to improve your mood, your sleep and your energy levels?
Perhaps you'd like to manage your stress more effectively or shift a nagging sense of anxiety.
Or maybe you are training for an event and want to stay in tip top condition and prevent injury.
You can achieve all this through something as simple and natural as touch? Massage not only feels great, but has proven to help reduce the effects of stress, anxiety and depression. A good massage is one that focuses on the areas you have highlighted as key priorities for me to work on.
Regular massage can also:
 |
Relieve headaches |
|
Reduce muscle tension and fatigue |
|
Reduce blood pressure |
|
Ease feelings of depression and anxiety |
|
Help alleviate sleeplessness |
|
Improve flexibility |
|
Ease constipation |
|
Relieve pain |
|
Increase energy levels |
What do you want to get out of your massage?
As often as not, in addition to the physical benefits a massage can bring, people are looking for a space to relax and chill out. My clients get the best of both worlds: a calm space where they can wind down and reconnect with their bodies and a holistic massage to relax, refresh and restore.
Paola Bassanese has written an article in the Huffington Post in which she describes her idea of a "good" massage. I am happy to be judged by these standards.
