🧐👀Benefits of Remedial Massage in COLD SEASONS🧐👀

❤️Improve skin hydration
Massage therapy is proven to improve skin hydration, stabilizing the collagen in your skin and helping to maintain your skin’s elasticity.

❤️Increased Circulation
Cold weather can bring on many discomforts, aches, pains and arthritis but massage therapy can help by increasing circulation to muscles, joints, and organs. Improved circulation increases body warmth, provides healthier blood pressure levels, and increases the flow of oxygen throughout the body.

❤️Banish the Winter Blues
After receiving bodywork such as massage therapy, cortisol levels are decreased (the nasty hormone responsible for stress!), and oxytocin levels are raised (the happy, contentment hormone). Massage also releases serotonin and endorphins, relieving stress and making you feel better. Regular massages enhances overall state of well-being – banishing those winter blues.

👀🧐How are muscles affected by cold weather? 👀🧐
As the weather gets colder we often notice that our body can feel more stiff and achy. The cold causes stress for our body because when our body perceives stress, the body’s nervous system switches from the relaxed to the emergency response. Our nervous systems respond to cold by narrowing the blood vessels in our extremities, this reduces the blood in these areas so that more blood can be directed to our vital organs to keep them warm.

The reduction in blood in the muscles, ligaments and tendons means they will be unable to work as effectively resulting in slower and stiffer movements, and potentially more susceptible to strains. When muscles are unable to work effectively they can put strain on joints which can also cause pain.

The stress response also makes us to hunch slightly to protect and keep our vital organs warm. This unfortunately exposes our spine more to the cold. The muscles which move the spine will also experience constricted blood vessels, like the limbs, and therefore pain in this area can often be felt when it's cold.

-Massage can help by relaxing tense muscles and stimulating circulation.
-Massage with gentle mobilisation around joints can also help improve joint flexibility.
-Massage of muscles around the shoulder joint can also help with shoulder stiffness and rounding caused by the cold.

🧐👀How to get the most from your deep-tissue massage? 🧐👀

❤️Hydrate!
Our regular guests knows well what we keep telling them before
& after the massage - "Drink some water!" Yes! and we say this for a reason - hydration keeps muscle tissue healthy and easier to massage; it also helps your body to take in this treatment because the massage is like any form of exercise, your muscle is somewhat dehydrated after the treatment.

❤️Don’t workout or take shower too soon after your deep tissue massage.
Rest at least: 1. 12 hours if you want to do workouts; 2. 2-3 hours if you want to take a shower. After a deep-tissue massage, your muscles are actually burning extra calories. Doing exercise right after the massage should cause over exercising.

❤️Optimize the benefits of massage by including additional recovery tools during your massage.
Use the infrared light sauna or other tools to maximize your recovery.

❤️Schedule a 60 -90 minute massage every 2 weeks to help your muscles stay loose so you can stay pain-free.
Keep this as your recovery routine. Don't wait to book a massage only when you feel the pains - that is perhaps too late and it might take you much longer to get your body to recover.
