What Is Relaxation Massage?
Relaxation Body Massage is a gentle, therapeutic practice focused on reducing stress, improving circulation, and promoting overall well-being. Unlike deep tissue or sports massage, it prioritizes calmness, mindfulness, and holistic healing through rhythmic strokes, aromatherapy, and ambient settings. These services are ideal for anyone seeking a soothing escape from daily tension and a boost in mental clarity and emotional balance.
- Stress Relief: Lowers cortisol (stress hormone) levels by up to 30% (Journal of Alternative Medicine).
- Muscle Relaxation: Releases tension in overworked muscles through light to moderate pressure.
- Mind-Body Connection: Encourages mental clarity and emotional balance.
Think of it as a “reset button” for your musculoskeletal system.
