How does massage contribute to relaxation and stress reduction?

Massage therapy contributes to relaxation and stress reduction through various mechanisms. Firstly, the physical manipulation of muscles and tissues during a massage helps to release tension and tightness, promoting a sense of relaxation in the body. This, in turn, triggers the relaxation response, leading to a decrease in heart rate, blood pressure, and stress hormone levels. Secondly, massage stimulates the production of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals, which induce feelings of calm and well-being. Lastly, the soothing environment, aromatherapy, and gentle touch during a massage session create a nurturing and peaceful atmosphere, allowing individuals to unwind and let go of stress. At Tattva Wellness Spa, our skilled therapists combine these elements to provide a holistic and rejuvenating experience, promoting relaxation and stress reduction for our clients.
