While we all know that relaxing and de-stressing feel good, and are generally good for us. There are many physiological benefits of receiving relaxation massage that are often not talked about – like reducing stress hormones and stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system (the opposite of the stressed, sympathetic nervous system). Quite literally the difference between your body being in “rest & digest” mode vs “flight or flight” mode.

When it comes to your physical strength and athletic performance, it’s understood that the healthier and more mobile your muscles and joints are, the higher capacity for peak performance your body has. This is why you often see massage therapists working on Olympic and professional athletes during competition events. Maintaining your peak performance by incorporating monthly massages is a fantastic way to take your fitness and wellness routine to the next level!
