MASSAGE THERAPY:

Massage therapy involves systematic stroking, kneading, and pressing soft tissues of the entire body in order to induce a state of total relaxation. Massage effects the body as a whole and research shows that massage reduces the heart rate, lowers blood pressure, increases blood circulation and lymph flow, relaxes muscles, improves range of motion, and increases endorphins, which are the body’s natural pain killers.

Massage is best known for reducing stress and promoting relaxation. It is also effective for relieving and managing chronic and acute pain. By enhancing the body’s own processes, massage therapy promotes health.


REFLEXOLOGY:

Reflexology is based on the principle that reflex points on the hands and feet are related to internal organs and glands. Reflexology helps to stimulate normal function of the organ involved to aid self-healing and bring about physical and mental wellbeing.

The primary benefits of reflexology are relaxation, relief of stress, and improved circulation. Individuals have reported having greater alertness, improved vitality, and increased creativity after a reflexology session. It can help individuals suffering from a variety of illnesses and is also recommended to help relieve stress disorders.
