Massage Therapy Encourages Relaxation
The body can produce an unhealthy buildup of hormones when we're
stuck in traffic or meeting a work deadline. Pent-up levels of the
"stress hormone" cortisol can lead to sleeplessness, headaches and
even digestive problems.
Enter massage therapy. Massage has been shown to decrease
cortisol in the body. This allows the body to enter a relaxing
rest-and-recovery mode: an effect that lingers long after the
massage is over. In fact, massage triggers a host of brain
chemistry responses that can result in lasting feelings of
relaxation, lowered stress and improved mood.
Massage Envy and Massage Envy Spa offer a variety of relaxing
massage therapy styles and techniques to help kick start the
relaxation process. If you enjoy relaxing massage therapy, know
that a Massage Envy membership can be a powerful ally in your
wellness program. In addition to encouraging relaxation, ongoing
massage therapy can reduce pain, increase energy levels and improve
overall physical and mental performance. Massage Envy and Massage
Envy Spa professional therapists customize every massage session to
address your individual needs.
