Achieve Total Wellbeing with Massage

Physically, massage not only relieves tension and stress, but it also addresses those underlying aches, pains and imbalances that so often result in lack of motivation, fatigue, and immobility. Not to mention how it can benefit physical performance when training for a sporting event or post-event recovery. The physical act of massage produces impressive mental health and wellbeing benefits too.

“The physical responses induced by massage causes the body to reduce the secretion of stress hormones e.g., cortisol, histamines, adrenaline etc., and increase the secretion of anabolic and calming hormones e.g., endorphins, serotonin, dopamine. It also increases red blood cell production, fat oxidation, improve digestion and much more.” confirms massage therapist David Hadcroft. Along with re-balancing your hormones, the effect of increased circulation and better lymphatic flow can promote better sleep, aid digestion, and improve your metabolism. Just the simple act of taking a break from your busy day can boost your mood and refresh your mind.
