Holistic Swedish Massage, Cornwall

Massage serves as a vital therapeutic tool, acting as a form of medicine to enhance your overall heath and wellbeing, offering an array of benefits for your mind, body, and spirit. 

 

  • Improves lymphatic drainage: Massage promotes the movement of lymph fluids around the body, aiding the clearance and prevention of congestion and buildup, including the flushing of lactic acid from muscles and the removal of metabolic waste from muscles and internal organs, resulting in lower blood pressure.

 

  • Boosts the immune system: Increased circulation and lymphatic flow promoted by massage facilitates the movement of healthy nutrients throughout the body and help filter metabolic waste, therefor strengthening the immune system. Additionally, massage reduces stress, which can have detrimental effects on immune function.

 

  • Improves blood circulation: By applying pressure and releasing it against the tissues, massage facilitates circulation, helping to move blood through congested areas and allowing new blood to flow in. Improved blood circulation maintains muscles strength and energy levels, while delivering nourishment to cells.

 

  • Enhances muscle tone: Massage aids in delivering more oxygen and necessary materials to repair muscle cells by improving blood and lymph flow, consequently reducing muscle recovery time and promoting muscle tissue repair. 

 

  • Reduction in wrinkles, sagging, and improved skin complexion: Massage stimulates collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity and promoting better blood flow to the skin. This process dilates surface capillaries, imparting a healthy glow to the skin, while also reducing cellulite by encouraging the redistribution of abnormal fat stores around the body. Moreover, massage stimulates gland production, facilitating the elimination of impurities from the skin.

 

  • Relieves knots & muscular tension: Massage increases muscle temperature and restores circulation to the muscles, initiating the healing process and relaxing tight muscles by separating and loosening muscle fibres. This elongates and stretches the muscle, releasing tension and improving flexibility.

 

  • Alleviates tension headaches and migraines: By alleviating tension in the neck, head & shoulders, stretching shortened muscles and eliminating trigger points, massage can diminish headaches. Increased blood flow provides a surge of oxygen and nutrients to the head, aiding the removal of toxins and soothing symptoms.

 

  • Eases feelings of depression, anxiety & stress: Massage promotes relaxation, easing feelings of heaviness and tension, while also stimulating the autonomic nervous system to release endorphins such as serotonin and dopamine. Elevated endorphin levels induce a greater sense of relaxation and calmness.
