Spa Therapies help De-stress

1. Reduce stress that shows up in the form of body aches and muscular pains

Manipulations and pressures of massage therapy break down subcutaneous adhesions and prevent fibrosis. In other words, massage therapy ensures that the tissues of your muscles that are normally separate, stay separate. Massage also helps reduce pain by promoting circulation of blood and helping in lymphatic drainage. 

Lymphatic drainage is a process by which pain-inducing toxins that accumulate in the body due to an injury or strenuous exercise are eliminated from the body.

2. Reduce stress that shows up in the form of mental tension and anxiety

Almost everyone experiences mental and emotional stress at some point of time or another during the day. Hours of analysing a report or writing code for software may leave you mentally exhausted. An upcoming presentation or examination can make you feel restless. At other times the Monday-morning syndrome may take over and you may not feel like going to work or participating in any activity for no particular reason. Massage therapy has been shown to reduce mental stress and relax the mind by increasing alertness, lower Depression, lower blood pressure & heartbeat and promoting better sleep.

3. Stress that shows up in the form of physical tiredness and mental fatigue

Research shows that people who received massage therapy showed lower levels of fatigue. Traditional Chinese Medicine explains this phenomenon through the theory of meridians. According to this theory, the body is made up of meridians – invisible pathways or channels through which Qi (or energy) flows within the body. Massage therapies remove fatigue by eliminating blockages in the body’s meridians or invisible energy lines. Therapies are of course no substitute for a good night rest, a hearty laugh or the company of friends to help lower stress. However, when adequate rest and entertainment are coupled with a regular visit to the spa the body relaxes faster, far more easily and stays relaxed for longer periods of time.

One of the ways in which our body de-toxifies itself is through the skin. Our skin is the largest organ of our body. By promoting sweating through the skin the body de-toxifies itself. Spa therapies promote sweating which flushes out toxins that accumulate within the body.
