A relaxing massage is an experience designed to relieve stress and promote a state of relaxation and well-being. Here I explain what it consists of and some aspects to consider:
What is a relaxing massage?
It is a type of massage that uses soft and fluid techniques, combined with slow movements and light to moderate pressure. Its main objective is to relax the muscles, improve blood circulation and release physical and emotional tension.
Benefits of relaxing massage
Stress Relief: Reduces cortisol (stress hormone) levels and promotes the release of endorphins.
Improves circulation: Stimulates blood flow, which helps oxygenate tissues.
Muscle relaxation: Releases accumulated tension in the muscles.
Better sleep: Promotes deeper, more restful sleep.
Mind-body connection: Helps you disconnect from worries and focus on the present moment.
Common techniques
- Smooth, long movements with your hands.
- Light kneading to relax the muscles.
- Frictions to stimulate circulation.
- Application of light pressure at strategic points.
Preparing for a relaxing massage
- Atmosphere: Quiet space, with dim lighting, relaxing music and pleasant aromas (for example, essential oils like lavender or eucalyptus).
- Oils: Aromatic oils are often used to facilitate movements and nourish the skin.
- Duration: Generally, a relaxing massage lasts between 30 minutes and 1 hour.
Recommendations
- Communicate any discomfort or areas to avoid to the massage therapist.
- Maintain slow, deep breathing throughout the session.
- Hydrate after the massage to help eliminate toxins.
