Massage is an approved complementary therapy, not a beauty therapy. Dating back to 3000 BC, originating in China, massage was used by many ancient civilizations to maintain health and well-being.
Massage produces many beneficial effects on the body, both physical and psychological, helping the body to rebalance and function more effectively.
Research shows that massage can:
• aid sleep and relaxation
• boost immunity
• calm and soothe
• energize and revitalize
• stimulate removal of 'toxins' from the body
• improve skin tone, texture and elasticity
• improve circulation
• reduce stress and anxiety
• reduce tension and fatigue
• reduce muscular discomfort
