How does massage therapy benefit me?

Unlike other forms of relaxation, massage therapy doesn’t focus on just one area but rather boasts a number of benefits for both for the body and the mind and it doesn’t require any work on your part – just a willingness and a want to completely unwind.

Integrating this form of relaxation into your lifestyle doesn’t only mean a chance to wind down, it also means you’re taking action to improving your overall health.

Mental health in particular is known to benefit greatly from massage therapy, with regular massages protecting against depression, anxiety and other mental health-related symptoms.

Sleep, circulation, chronic pain, relaxation… just some of the benefits of a mobile massage

Do you have poor circulation? Poor circulation can have very negative effects for a person including pooling of fluid in extremities, cold hands and fatigue but fortunately massages have proven to help counteract some of the unwelcome symptoms that come from poor circulation. The pressure created by the massage technique facilitates circulation because it allows blood to move through the congested areas. The release of this pressure then allows for the flow of new blood.

Suffering from insomnia? Massages have proven positive effects on insomnia. During your mobile massage in Waterloo, just let your masseuse know about your sleep difficulties and they will tailor their massage to address this problem.

Chronic pain a chronic issue? Massage therapy aids in relieving tension and stress, which simultaneously has an effect on alleviating muscle and joint pain. Through the alleviation of such pains as muscle and joints, the symptoms of chronic pain can also be lessened.

A guide to massages

Choosing which massage is right for you can be a long and arduous task with so many options to choose from. Below we’ve narrowed down some of our most popular massages which should help you in choosing what suits your needs.

Swedish massage

One of the most popular options. Your therapist will begin by asking you your preferred massage pressures and if you have any specific areas you wish to target. They will usually ask as well if you would like to add a personalised essential oil blend to massage. The massage will start with the back of your legs, working out any soreness and stress before moving on to your back, neck and shoulders, where your therapist will work out any knots and tensions found there. They will also spend time on your feet, lower legs, arms, fingers and across the top of your chest and neck.

Back, neck and shoulder massage

Loosely based on the principles of the Swedish massage, the back, neck and shoulder massage targets the upper body. Your therapist will vary the pressure but will tend to user lighter touches unless a deeper pressure is specifically requested.

Head massage

A head massage is one of the easier massages to deliver because the client can sit on a comfortable chair and remain clothed. The therapist will start by kneading the shoulders and the neck before then working up to the scalp. Once the head, neck and shoulders have been massaged sufficiently, the therapist will then work on the face and ear.

Therapies and treatments

Amma therapy

This therapy combines several massage techniques into one massage session. It uses a push-pull motion to rejuvenate the body and aims to restore energy flow.

Ayurvedic massage

With its roots in India, this massage is similar to acupressure as it massages specific pressure points, known as marmas. This type of massage aims to heal pain and to detoxify the body

Balinese massage

The Balinese massage uses a combination of Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, reiki and aromatherapy. Boasting all the benefits of an exotic treatment all the way from Bali but delivered right to your Waterloo doorstep
