A massage is first and foremost a wonderful physical sensation that relieves stress and brings body and mind into relaxation. The undivided attention you receive makes you connect with your inner self and recovers your body. You don't have to give, you can just receive.

A massage can help to release pent-up emotions and emotional blockages. By stimulating the pressure points and meridians, the energy can flow freely through your body again and the fatigue disappears. In addition, a massage stimulates the autonomic nervous system and restores the balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. During the massage, the release of the stress hormone cortisol decreases and the production of endorphins (happiness hormone) and oxytocin (cuddle hormone) increases, which causes a blissful feeling.

A massage ensures a better blood circulation and removal of toxins and waste materials so that your muscles feel smooth and relaxed after a massage. It also improves the immune system, reducing the risk of disease. Other symptoms that can be reduced or corrected include stomach and intestinal problems, high blood pressure, concentration problems, tense muscles, neck and back complaints and fatigue.

In summary, a massage not only provides a deeper relaxation for body and mind, but it also has the following advantages:

• has a positive influence on healing processes, both physically and emotionally
• makes you more aware of your body
• stimulates the feeling of happiness through the production of endorphins and oxytocin
• reduces stress and therefore has a preventive effect on depression and burnout
• stimulates the blood circulation so that the body recovers better
• improves the balance between body and mind
• gives you back more energy
• increases your resistance
