Long hours of work, traveling in traffic or a rigorous workout takes a toll on your body, leaving you completely exhausted. Waking up to body pain and sore muscles is bound to happen. Now you definitely don’t want it to hinder your entire day so you try using a foam roller, an Epsom salt bath but none of it seems to be doing the trick. So it’s time to consider a relaxing massage.

But before we go ahead, let’s look at what causes body aches and sore muscles:

• Stress
  When you are stressed, your immune system cannot respond to inflammation. Stress can cause tension in the body, ultimately leading to stiff muscles which cause body aches.
• Dehydration
  Hydration plays an essential role in the healthy functioning of your body. Dehydration can sometimes cause a person to feel tired, sore and exhausted.
• Lack of sleep
  Lack of sleep can lead to exhaustion and impact your overall health. It makes your body feel sluggish, heavy and achy. Your tissues and cells need enough sleep to stay refreshed. When the body does not have sufficient time to repair and recuperate, a person may experience aches and pains more frequently.

Let’s say goodbye to those excruciating body aches with a relaxing massage because we’ve got something special for you.

How can a massage heal sore muscles and body ache?

If your muscles are sore and very tender, a Swedish massage works best as it stimulates blood and lymph circulation, bringing newly oxygenated blood to tender areas. This oxygenated blood flushes out the toxic waste in your muscles, which is the cause of typical soreness and body pain.

If you have chronic muscle soreness, injury, or body pain, a Deep tissue massage is a good option. This massage uses more pressure than a Swedish massage. It can help relieve tight muscles, chronic muscle pain, and anxiety. During a deep tissue massage, the therapist will use slow strokes and deep finger pressure to relieve tension from the deepest layers of your muscles and connective tissues.

But that’s not all! Tattva Spa brings to you VIMUKTI: A traditional Ayurvedic recipe for pain relief.

Vimukti is a Sanskrit word which means freedom and we at Tattva Spa are all about freeing you from all the tension and stress.
