Relaxation Massage in Melbourne

Living in a city like Melbourne certainly has its perks, and for the most part, we’re a pretty happy bunch. But thanks to factors such as a highly competitive workforce, unpredictable weather, and an almost impossible to crack housing market, the stress is real, people. The stress is real.

So if you’re in need of a bit of respite from the tensions of everyday city life, relaxation massage could be just the ticket. It’s a well-rounded therapy, perfect for both the entry-level massage noob, and the super keen massage enthusiast.

Relaxation massage therapists use long, gliding strokes to reduce muscle tension and work out nagging knots. You can expect pressure that is tailored and comfortable. Think Goldilocks vibes: not too hard, not too soft. Juuuust right. Most importantly, it should never be painful. If you’re uncomfortable at any stage, remember to let your therapist know about it.

Offering both mental and physical relief, regular relaxation massages can help to improve your quality of life.

Physical benefits include:

• reduced muscle tension
• increased flexibility
• quicker recovery from mild injuries
• improved blood circulation

Mental benefits include:

• reduced levels of stress hormones such as adrenalin and cortisol
• increased level of endorphins, a hormone which promotes feelings of wellbeing and positivity
• reduced anxiety and depression

While relaxation massage might sound like something of a miracle treatment, remember - although it can certainly help with the temporary relief of mental and physical symptoms, it’s important to look after yourself in other ways, too. Maintain a balanced diet, get enough sleep and exercise regularly to experience the best results.
