How Massage Works and Its Many Benefits
A relaxing and unwinding massage session is nothing less than essential if you wish to keep your 
body healthy in the long run. Regular massage sessions can improve you general bodily functions, in addition to reducing anxiety and stress and can help several medical conditions. Regardless of, who you are and where you come from, a massage can be of great help to you. A therapeutic massage is a very beneficial treatment that involves soft tissue manipulation, but with advantages that run much deeper and benefit all of the body’s systems. Massage therapy is one of the most effective therapies because our bodies respond to the warm touch of another human being. When the body is out of balance and tense from stress or built up toxins, it cannot work as efficiently as it should. Massage therapy works to bring the body back into proper alignment.
Pressure added to the muscles in specific ways, can either be stimulating or relaxing due to the 
lactic acid release. Lactic acid is a toxin that is naturally released in the muscles, but can build up if not regularly released. The built up toxin slows down the cellular functions of the muscles and they become tight and tense. As a result, the body’s cells use and release oxygen, carbon dioxide, fats, and energy. As a benefit of releasing the tense and knotted muscles, the stiffness of the muscular system is relieved. With this comes a larger range of mobility and an improved flexibility that promotes relaxation of the mind. A professional massage helps the lactic acid leave the muscles through the blood stream, and later leave the body as waste. It is important to drink plenty of water after a massage session because the toxins need to be flushed out entirely. This removal is essential to balancing the health of the body.
Because of the universal high stress environments we live in, our nervous system is constantly on high alert. We have two responses; stress or relaxation. When under stress, our adrenal system gets overworked which results in the body overexerting itself. In this state, the cells cannot repair themselves, which causes a breakdown within the body. A massage allows the opposite system known as the parasympathetic response to take action. This allows the body to rest and perform the cell maintenance it needs.Therefore relaxation is a very important part of a healthy lifestyle and we must find time for relaxation and for caring for ourselves.Too much work and not enough time out for ourselves can result in mental and physical health problems. Stress can cause:
Many people find it difficult to actually relax and stop their mind from wandering, especially if somebody is a generally busy person. One of the effective forms of Deep Relaxation is Massage Therapy. Your mind needs a break on occasion just as your muscles do. With our massages in a deep relaxed state:

We can lower our stress levels by daily taking a minimum 10 minutes time for relaxing activities as:
Balanced diet, exercise and getting an adequate amount of sleep are as necessary as relaxation in order to live a stress-free and healthy life.
Another problem with tense muscles is that the circulatory system does not work at optimum efficiency. The motions of a massage work with the natural circulation of the body to promote proper blood flow. Oxygen and essential nutrients are able to easily move to the cells and organs of the body through the blood, and then waste is discharged more quickly.
The skin replacement process is accelerated where dead cells at the surface are replaced as new skin cells grow in the lower layers. During the massage, our skilled masseuse’s hands move across the skin, releasing the dead cells and allowing the new ones to thrive. Circulation is also improved as blood comes to the surface of the skin, which gives it a nice color. The production of sebum, the natural oil produced by the skin, is also promoted by massage. This keeps the skin from becoming uncomfortably dry or inelastic.
The lymphatic system removes waste products that cannot be removed through the circulatory 
system. With no system to move the waste quickly to the lymph, massage helps to remove these waste products of the cells as it is pushes them toward the lymph nodes. Massage can also lessen of swelling, cellulite, and lumpiness.
All of our massages are performed by skilled professionals who are experienced in the techniques that promote these benefits. In addition, many massages feature ingredients aimed at delivering specific benefits to the body beyond these, which you can learn more about through our massages page.
