In general, the reduction of psychophysical stress allows the body to ease the strain on our nervous system, which is greatly involved in situations of unease. During massage, our body releases beneficial hormones, such as endorphins, which can alleviate anxiety and depression, therefore improving our general state of well-being.
Massage is often associated with beauty treatments, which unfortunately doesn’t say a lot about its true nature: an ancient art, rich in skill and knowledge about the right movements to perform in order to ensure both physical and mental well-being through the pressure and stimulation of different areas of our body. Massage is a real trust leap: it means putting yourself completely in the therapist’s hands.
