Busy women have hectic schedules and a chaotic lifestyle that can drain them of life energy. They manage corporate and household tasks, and their hands are always full with a bundle of responsibilities. Moreover, the female reproductive cycle and hormonal shifts can cause an upheaval in the woman’s body.
It is imperative to nurture her mind, soul, and body so that she can continue to face the everyday challenges. Why don’t you regularly enjoy a relaxing massage to feel great and stay healthy?
At one time, health clubs offered massages as a luxury for the rich and famous. Slowly, massages were recognised as an important therapy that promoted a feeling of physical and mental wellness. Men and women can both enjoy a rejuvenating massage session. But women, especially, can get a massage to recover from their energetic gym sprints and tough monthly cycle symptoms. Massages are very beneficial for women, even if it is just a relaxing and rejuvenating press-down to ease body discomfort.
Undoubtedly, massages can relax the muscles, boost blood circulation, and improve mental health, but there is more:
1. Rubbing and pressing the skin, tissues, muscles, tendons, and ligaments makes a tired body feel grateful. Massages stimulate the body’s white blood cells or killer cells to combat foreign pathogens and boost the immune system.
2. Any rhythmic pressing and kneading can suppress the production of cortisol, the stress hormone, thus calming and soothing an agitated mind and body.
3. Massages can be very beneficial and are a part of holistic treatment for many medical conditions. Furthermore, they are an excellent way to pamper a woman’s tired and aching body.
4. With the kneading and comforting massage strokes, the nervous system involved in digestion and rest is activated and stimulated.
5. Massages help control the heart rate and also keep the blood pressure lowered.
6. As the regular massage strokes are felt all over the woman’s body, the parasympathetic nervous system gets activated, and the brain secretes serotonin, the happy hormone.
7. Massages are a great way to block pains and stiffness in the body. They improve flexibility and mobility in the body, which is even more important for a woman over 55 years of age.
8. As women age, the body starts facing hormonal imbalances and experiences subtle changes. Hormonally and physically, there are numerous challenges we have to face. Difficulty in standing up and putting weight on the legs can be a source of pain and discomfort, and a massage can be very comforting. Various modalities can make a woman feel good and rejuvenated, and the therapist decides on this. A rhythmic and soft massage will push the lymphatic system back into action. The toxins are removed from the body when there is no stagnation of lymphatic fluid.
9. With each passing day, our skin sags and starts to lose its natural elasticity. If you start a regular massage, the lymph fluids will move, and the body will receive adequate blood flow and nutrients that will restore elasticity to a certain extent and make the overall skin supple and toned.
Musculoskeletal massage:
The massage therapist often recommends regular stretching and relaxing tissue manipulation to reduce stiffness and pain in the body. Musculoskeletal massage improves flexibility and body mobility and even encourages joint lubrication.
Deep tissue and sports massage:
After a tired day at work, women often end up at the gym for a rejuvenating and relaxing gym session. The tiresome workouts sometimes lead to tissue injuries and deep adhesions or knots. Deep tissue and sports massage are great ways to reduce adhesions and recover from injuries and sprains. Exercising, constant movement and being on the run 24/7 leave a woman exposed to many postural challenges. Massage therapies are beneficial in workout recovery and reduce the pain and soreness in the body. Studies show anxiety and stress decrease with regular massage.
Prenatal massage:
Massaging is a technique that benefits motherhood greatly. Pregnant women benefit from prenatal massages, which help the “mom-to-be’s” body de-stress and relax. Joint pains, anxiety and muscular aches are common during pregnancy, and a therapeutic massage dispels the concerns regarding labor, childbirth and the baby’s health. You can ask the therapist to lighten the pressure and ease the strokes according to the woman’s weight and pregnancy stage. The awkward postures can cause unexplained discomfort that can be significantly reduced with a prenatal massage!
