Massage
"Massage is kneaded for the BODY as much as healing is
needed for the SOUL"
What is Massage
Massage is no longer considered as a "luxury" however part of a healthier way of life and effective in many ways such as, release stressors, muscular pain, digestive issues, Arthritis & sciatica, it is a healing touch movement that aims to manipulate your skin, muscles, tendons and stimulates circulation to encourage more blood flow. Massage will increase energy, reduce muscle soreness and tension and re-connect you to your body to feel grounded, calm and relaxed.
living in today's modern world can lead to sensory overload meaning the brain/body is unable to process all the information received externally, causing heightened senses, feeling out of source or suffering physically and mentally.
Our tissues, nervous and muscular system hold memories of any traumas or upsets we have experienced, emotions are then stored in the body or parts of the body so When we experience sensory overload the sympathetic nervous system triggers the fight-or-flight response that increases when stressed, hormones responsible for running are then released causing heightened heart rate and blood pressure - when we don't run these hormones become stagnant and toxic in the body's systems causing tension & emotional sensitivity, when the body is stressed this response can trigger & heighten old memories & shift into overdrive which hugely slows down the body’s natural mechanism to heal.
Hands on massage aims to bring the nervous system back in the parasympathetic state referred to as “homeostasis”, while in this state of relaxation the body can rest and digest, in addition it serves to release tension, lowers heart rate, increase circulation, promotes energy and release hormones responsible for positive mood further allowing your body to heal mentally, emotionally and physically.
