A full-body massage has the power to provide ultimate relaxation for you. During this type of therapy, you can expect to be massaged across many problem areas in the body. These problem areas can include the neck, back, shoulders, legs and feet, where tension can often reside. In addition to these areas, you may also receive massage therapy for the head and arms.
Benefits of a full-body massage:
1. Reduces muscle tension and discomfort
Muscle tension can be uncomfortable to deal with. Most of the time, muscle tension is caused by stress or exercise. It can cause the body to feel stiff and more difficult to move.
2. Decreases stress hormones
Stress is something that we all have to deal with from time to time, and a massage can help us to deal with it more easily. Cortisol is one of the main stress hormones, which increases the level of sugar in the bloodstream.
3. Improves circulation and blood flow
Massage therapy is extremely effective at moving blood around the body. The techniques and pressure used can help to heal muscles throughout the body. As the pressure is alleviated, new blood can flow through. The increased blood flow as a result of massages can help to support your blood pressure. Speak to a doctor if you’re experiencing symptoms of high blood pressure.
