The massage benefits for the body are multiple. Physical benefits of relaxation massage include the flushing of toxins. The movements done in a relaxation massage warm the muscle tissues. As a result, the muscles relax and release tension and toxins.
Relaxation massage does not work on a deep tissue level, however, certain movements such as effleurage have drainage benefits. With specific movements your esthetician is stimulating that circulation, helping the blood flow along. In turn, this stimulates the lymphatic system that runs along the vascular system.
When done properly, relaxation massage pushes the blood flow back to the heart which aids the circulatory system. Especially when working on the extremities, for example, your legs. Those areas have a longer way to go to push the blood back to the heart.
Mental benefits
Other massage benefits for the body include an overall calming effect. The mental benefits of relaxation massage include the release of stress and tension. It achieves this by relaxing the one’s mind in general. When your mind is relaxed your are able to release any pent-up tension in your muscles.
Plus, for a set amount of time you are forced to mentally disconnect from your surroundings, work, life, phone, all of that. The mental benefits can in turn aid in things such as digestion and sleep.
How often should you get massages?
With relaxation massage, because yo are strictly working on the relaxation aspect of a massage and not the therapeutic aspect, they can be done as often as you like, or as a part of a 6-8 week routine.
Does body massage help skin?
Relaxation massage can help boost the skin’s natural function. An emollient is used to glide over the skin. Depending on the type of massage medium being used, it can help moisturize the skin including hard to reach areas, for example, the back.
Our Relaxation Body Treatment is our Relaxation Massage 2.0. It includes dry brushing as well which has benefits on the skin. The dry brushing helps to boost any effects on the skin because it sloughs away the dead surface cells and introduces hydration to the new cells that are ready to absorb that nourishing oil.
