Therapeutic Massage in Plymouth
Holistic massage doesn't focus on just one part of your body. All body parts are intrinsically linked, and the health of one part of your body can benefit from overall health in the rest of your body.
Holistic massages use various strokes and methods to benefit your entire body, with aromatherapy and other oils helping to enhance the therapy experience.
Reduce Stress and Anxiety
Holistic massages are very relaxing, using methods that will help you breathe deeply and enter a meditative-like state, relieving anxiety and stress that you may be holding.
Massage evokes several physiological effects that most commonly occur to help reduce stress: increased endorphins, serotonin, tissue elasticity, and dopamine, as well as a lowering of cortisol levels.
Massage stimulates your body's natural production of positive hormones. Their release reduces stress and anxiety and improves stress-related sleep problems. Massage may also be part of the process of optimising good health and building resilience.
Pain
Massage that targets chronic pain reduces muscle tightness and increases range of movement. It has also been proven to ease some physical conditions by relaxing painful muscles, tendons, and joints.
Improve muscular tension
Massage can reduce muscle tightness by increasing blood flow. With this decrease in tension, muscles can be stretched to their full capacity, relieving tension and congestion in the muscle fibres and tissue, improving tissue elasticity and increasing the overall range of movement.
There are also different types of Lymphoedema, or swelling of limbs or other body parts, caused by an abnormal build-up of a fluid called lymph in the body’s tissues, such as venous insufficiency (where blood flow through your leg veins is blocked, causing blood to pool in your legs).
Help with sleep:
Sleep is the most essential step in maintaining general health and well-being. However, nearly one in five people in the UK don't get enough sleep.
Disrupting your sleep cycle may affect cognitive skills, alertness, mood, and accuracy of short-term memory. Massage can help relieve stress and chronic pains that keep you from sleeping. It can also help reset your sleep cycle by increasing serotonin levels (essential to producing melatonin), leading to a better night's sleep overall. Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone associated with your sleep cycle or circadian rhythm.
Calming your nervous system:
Massage can be particularly powerful in calming the nervous system because it helps to balance and regulate the vital functions of the autonomic nervous system. Remedial massage can stimulate or soothe your nerves depending on the approach, pressure, or stroke to create the needed outcome and offers a calming and relaxing effect on the entire body.
Help with general physical conditions:
Holistic therapy massage can aid the recovery of a wide range of conditions, from stress, anxiety and sleeplessness to poor digestion, pain, recovery of injury, muscle strain, migraine/headaches and sinus congestion. The list is almost endless.
