Meet our therapist Sara Maxwell.Sara specialises in massage and is trained in a range of techniques such as Thai, Swedish, Shiatsu, Indian head, Aromatherapy, Joint manipulation and Re-alignment.She holds a vast amount of knowledge including the history of massage techniques; and has very kindly agreed to share some of the benefits of massage with us!Firstly; massages may be viewed as a treat, but it has been found that massages have a variety of health benefits. Massage as medicine? That’s one prescription we’d all like!The benefits of massage go beyond feelings of relaxation and wellness that people may recognise.MASSAGE IMPROVES SLEEPThose who’ve dozed off under skilled hands won’t need much convincing of this, but massage can actually reduce sleep disturbance, linking it to the effect on the delta waves that are associated with deep sleep. It has been found that people who suffer from migraines reported fewer distress symptoms, less pain, more headache-free days and fewer sleep disturbances after a course of massage therapy.MASSAGE EASES PAINThe right kind of pressure can help to loosen knots in the muscles and encourage better blood flow. Massage can also improve your flexibility and consequently help to prevent injuries or strains (particularly those caused by repetitive strain). The effectiveness of both relaxation and structural massage and other care on lower back pain also can reduce pain more than medications and exercises - and the effects lasted for up to six months!Better sleep, less stress and a better mood... all results of a regular rub-down.MASSAGE BOOSTS MOOD & BEATS STRESSBetter sleep and fewer pounding heads would certainly boost the mood, but there’s good reason for feeling better after as a massage. It soothes anxiety by reducing the levels of the stress hormone cortisol and boosting the levels of neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine. This may mean less stress, anxiety, and depression.A 2016 study into the effects of Swedish massage also found that regular treatments reduced some of the symptoms associated with anxiety. Study participants received three 30-minute massage sessions per week for four weeks with researchers concluding, "Massage therapy caused a decrease in systolic [blood pressure], pulse and respiratory rate. MASSAGE BOOSTS THE IMMUNE SYSTEMMassage may not just help you relax and cheer you up, but it may also help to improve the function of the immune system! That's because stimulation of the skin and muscles can boost the body's production of chemicals that ease pain and promote feelings of relaxation and well-being. A massage can increase the number of white blood cells that help defend the body from disease. Better blood circulation may also lead to enhanced organ function which makes you feel brighter and happier. So there's something in that old ethos of healthy body, healthy mind!MASSAGE BOOSTS THE COMPLEXION & HAIRBetter sleep, less stress and a better mood are bound to make you feel better, but a regular rub-down may well result in an increased radiance in your skin as well as mood. Massage increases blood flow and encourages lymphatic drainage (taking toxins out and away from cells), which is why regular stimulation may add vitality to your complexion and hair.Knowing all these benefits; splashing out on that treatment is totally justified!
