Our natural response to a stressful situation is either fight or flight.
The body releases as many as 30 hormones which cause:
Increased heart rate
Increased blood pressure
Pupil dilation to take in as much light as possible
Vein constriction in the skin to send more blood to major muscle groups
Blood sugar level increase
Tensed muscles, energised by adrenalin and glucose
With the advent of civilisation, we are no longer able to fight or flee. Therefore all of the instinctual responses that our bodies have learned over 1000's of years are left raging while we are forced to deal with various stressful situations in a civilised manner.
The unfortunate outcome of this is that we have now developed habits such as lifting our shoulders dropping our necks into our torsos & closing our arms around the front of our bodies to try and protect ourselves. The muscles of the shoulders, upper back and neck, become over worked and exhausted.
A De-Stress massage targets these muscles, relaxing them and removing the negative energy & hormones, thus returning them to their normal length.
The result of this will leave you more relaxed, de-stressed & free from pain.
De-Stress Massage uses a combination of Deep Tissue Massage, Trigger Point Therapy and Mobilisation Techniques
