The Benefits of Massage

There are many ways in which the benefits of massage can improve the quality of your life. Many people think the benefits of massage are restricted to relaxation (which in itself is hugely important!). But there are numerous other health and wellbeing benefits.

Medical research has shown that the benefits of massage include:
pain relief, reduced anxiety and depression, and reduced blood pressure, heart rate.

The release of endorphins and serotonin can:
prevent fibrosis or scar tissue, increase the flow of lymph, and improve sleep.

Massage stimulates the immune system by increasing blood flow and lymph drainage.

It improves circulation and relieves congestion in the tissues. It stimulates the production of blood cells and promotes lymph flow which hastens the elimination of cellular wastes. It helps clear muscles of lactic and uric acid that build up during exercise and relaxes muscle hypertonicity as well as relieves muscle tension.

Benefits of massage also include improving muscle tone and delaying muscle atrophy resulting from inactivity. Deep massage can separate fascial fibres, and prevent the formation of adhesions and helps reduction of inflammation and oedema in joints and soft tissue. Massage stimulates increased proprieties and kinesthetic awareness of the body

Massage assists the body's natural ability to heal itself. It relaxes and tones the muscles preventing injuries, increases circulation and therefore improves the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to all body cells.

One of the best benefits of massage is that it makes you feels great!

Massage Modalities Offered at Libellule Massage

Relaxation Massage:
Massage has many important health benefits. In fact, massage can help you maintain physical, mental and emotional well being, especially when it is part of your regular wellness routine.

Remedial Massage:
Remedial Massage / Deep Tissue Massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body, through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, by either following or crossing over the muscle fibres, fascia and tendons. These types of massage therapy are usually used to address specific problems associated with chronic muscular pain, injury rehabilitations, sporting and occupational injuries, RSI, and physical and mental fatigue. The techniques can include Trigger Point Therapy, deep tissue massage and stretching thereby creating an improved range of motion through the joints. It's important to drink plenty of water after a deep-tissue session to help eliminate toxins from the body.

Cupping:
Cupping is used to expel toxins from areas of pain and tightness and uses plastic cups, held by suction, to massage the body. The action on the nervous system can be sedating and the client can experience a deep state of relaxation. Traditionally the cups are placed on the back, shoulders and lower back. After treatment clients can experience a feeling of lightness and flexibility in the area which was creating pain or range of movement restrictions. Cupping can be either stationary or in massage. Stationary cups are left on the skin for 5 to 15 minutes to facilitate the release of stagnant blood, pathogenic factors and dispel internal heat. Massage cupping uses oil so the cup can glide over the skin to release tension and congestion in the muscles. Most cupping procedures will create a red to dark red circle on the skin but will disappear within a week. Other conditions that respond well to cupping massage therapies include: fibromyalgia, anxiety, insomnia, chronic pain, sciatica, and asthma.

Mobile Massage:
Mobile Massage Service is available for clients who are unable to attend the clinic or find it more convenient to have a massage at home. The elderly and those recovering from surgery or other physiological conditions, parents with small children at home benefit from mobile massage therapies.

Have you ever thought of having girls weekend away or a nice relaxing treat for the members of your bridal party. What a great way to relax and unwind. All equipment is brought to your desired location, the only thing that you will have to think about is whose turn it is first!!! Discounts are available for group bookings over four people.

Corporate Seated Massage:
Corporate massage benefits businesses by increasing the health and wellbeing of the workforce. Many employers have experienced increasing levels of absenteeism as a result of stress and sick leave.

Studies have shown that after receiving a massage people are more relaxed, more alert, are able to think more clearly, faster and more accurately, and experience reduced anxiety and depression.

Clients are given a massage fully clothed with no messy oils to worry about and the duration of the massage is usually 15 minutes focussing mainly on those 'common tension spots'.

Seated Massage can also been performed in the clinic for those who are uncomfortable undressing.

Hot Stone Massage:
As the name implies, hot stone massage involves the use of water treated stones . Stones are placed over specific parts of the body. Before the start of the massage, the muscles are pre-treated for better response. Massage is generally done with the use of specific oils.

As with the other massage therapies, hot stone massage is associated with many benefits. Some of the benefits are easy relaxation of the muscles, helps to get rid of stress, helps to release toxins and also reduces the pain. By improving circulation throughout the body it promotes the overall health.
