Relaxation Massage | Equilibrium Chamonix
While it feels intuitively beneficial to book a relaxing massage – western psychological, neurological and medical science is gradually understanding why. Clinical studies show that a professionally delivered, moderate pressure Relaxation Massage is effective (more than light pressure massage) in reducing pain symptoms, improving mental health, boosting the immune system. Functional brain imaging studies show that a fully body massage or back massage of moderate pressure (e.g. Swedish Massage) correlate with changes in the places of the brain that regulate emotions and stress responses -e.g. the hypothalamus and the amygdala.
For the body and brain to truly relax, massage is one of nature’s best tonics!
