At Holistic Health, we believe every month is the perfect month to look after yourself, but a summer massage should not be overlooked.
In the summer months the combination of heat and humidity can lead to fluid retention in the body, leading to swelling and discomfort around the joints and soft tissues. This swelling (also known as oedema) can affect various parts of the body but the legs and ankles are typical suspects. Massage therapy can improve blood circulation and reduce swelling, making your summer activities much more comfortable.
Getting a massage is a great way to help your body produce relaxing hormones like melatonin and serotonin. It can also reduce the stress hormone cortisol, lower blood pressure, and decrease your heart rate. All of these effects ultimately reduce stress and can help you get a better night’s sleep.
Don’t wait until the last minute to book a post-trip or post-project massage. Contact us now to schedule some self-care into your busy summer.
