The Benefits of a Massage

spas in Malta - relaxing massage

The relation between physical and mental wellbeing has a great impact on the quality and length of life and on the society as a whole. Mental wellbeing supports good physical health and vice versa. Therefore it is important that we pay equal attention to not only how we look, but also to how we really feel on the inside. Having a busy work and personal schedule, hurrying from one place to another, getting stuck in a traffic jam, multitasking ….the list goes on and on. Over time society adjusted to this lifestyle and therefore we tend to forget the negative effects this can leave on the body and mind. Stop for a second and rewind your daily routine. What does your morning look like? Are you one of those people who get ready in a few minutes before rushing out of the door to a busy work schedule full of deadlines and meetings whilst holding onto your favourite reusable coffee cup? Do you manage to fit in a short work-out before or after work? Do you even make time for a healthy breakfast before embarking on your a day? As a result, such a lifestyle can eventually lead to cardiovascular disease, obesity, anxiety, built up tension, stroke and many other complications. It is very important that we take a break for ourselves and every once in a while, truly enjoy our free time whilst contributing to our over all health and health-being.

There are several massage techniques one can choose from, which are suitable for the individuals needs. Massage can benefit everyone who is looking for quality time to relax and appreciate their body. According to experts, having a massage at least once a month is highly beneficial. Massage is a great tool with many benefits. There are several benefits to receiving regular massages, including:

  • Increased energy levels
  • Improved ability to control stress levels
  • Improved sleep
  • Positive impact on mood swings
  • Helps expand blood vessels and therefore the supply of healthy nutrients to our body
  • Improves the heart blood supply and as a result the circulation of blood to extremities
  • Clears body of toxins
  • Helps prevent adhesion
  • Stretches connective tissues around the mussels
  • Helps minimise stiffness or swelling
  • Stimulates and calms the nervous system
  • Can also have a positive impact on weight reduction
  • Regular massages can also have a positive impact on weight reductions
