Relaxation Massage
Relaxation Massage uses smooth and long strokes. The primary purpose will be to help you relax, calm your nervous system, relieve stress and promote a sense of well-being.
On this technique, I will not work at your pain limit in order to release tension in the body, but rather provide soothing techniques to calm your nervous system down and promote the para-sympathetic system to take over.
During a relaxation massage, there is less emphasis on working out serious adhesions or “knots” in the muscle tissue.
Some people go into such a deep state of relaxation that they even fall asleep.
A Relaxation Massage has substantial health benefits:
- Improves blood circulation
- Stimulates the body’s lymphatic system (which carries away waste products)
- Helps with insomnia
- Promotes clarity of mind and emotional balance
- Reduces muscular tension
- Decreases overall stress levels.
