Unlock the benefits of massage therapy
One of the most important benefits of massage therapy is its ability to reduce stress levels. It helps to lower levels of cortisol (the primary stress hormone) in the body while stimulating the production of endorphins, which are natural mood regulators. This leaves you feeling relaxed, calm, and mentally refreshed.
The gentle pressure and soothing strokes of Swedish and aromatherapy massages help to release muscle tension, ease anxiety, and calm the mind, inducing a state of profound relaxation.
Massages also boost blood circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues and organs while aiding the removal of metabolic waste products and toxins. Improved circulation invigorates the body.
Alea’s skilled massage therapists target specific areas of tension and work on tight muscles to reduce pain, release knots and improve flexibility.
By improving lymphatic circulation, massage therapy can help strengthen the body’s immune system, and its defenses against illness.
After a massage that takes you to the height of relaxation and eases your muscles, it’s no surprise that your sleep quality may improve giving you a good’s night’s rest, so that you wake up to a new day in paradise feeling refreshed and full of energy.
Massage therapy also strengthens the connection between mind and body, making you aware of the effects that tension has on you and helping you to handle stress and look after yourself.
