Just like its name, relaxation massage centers on the total relaxation of a client. It focuses mainly on giving the client quality time to recover from the daily stresses of everyday life.
Relaxation massage is a gentle massage that uses smooth, gliding strokes to help you relax without focusing on easing any muscle soreness or tension. The massage therapist will move at a slower pace and use lighter pressure.
In a relaxation massage, there is less emphasis on working out chronic underlying muscle tension, in other words, the adhesions or “knots” and muscle restrictions in the muscle tissue. The goal of this type of massage is to let you drift away and feeling good and relaxed.
Relaxation massage lowers stress levels by reducing the amount of the stress hormone cortisol in the body, removing tension, creating a feeling of ease and mental clarity, and uplifting the mood.
Relaxation massage reduces muscular tension. The incorporation of deep diaphragmatic breathing during the session enhances this result.
The relaxing tempo and longer strokes of relaxation massage promote increased cardiac return and lymphatic flow, bringing freshly oxygenated blood to all the muscles and fascia of the body. Improved circulation promotes tissue healing and overall health.
When the body relaxes, troublesome areas become more apparent and easier for the therapist to access and address. The therapist can use deeper pressure to work on the problem areas in the course of creating full-body relaxation.
Touch is therapeutic. Many of us have a shortage of physical contact in our lives. Massage addresses the primal animal need for touch and creates a profound sense of well-being.
