5 Benefits of Spa during the Monsoon

The concept of having massages as a therapy for body and mind ailments has been in practice for decades now. The primary Indian Medicine practice or the Ayurveda has spoken a great deal about the necessity and benefits of inculcating massages in our routine. Massages generally make everything better. We have had instances where our grandparents have insisted on massaging oil on the scalp for healthy hair and as an alternate to avoid head-aches.

While Spa therapy is something we have made our forte in, here are few benefits of treating yourself with a warm and rejuvenating massage during the breezy season of monsoon.

1. Increases energy levels:

Massages are of various kinds. Each of its kind serving a different kind of purpose. For instance, athletes are recommended the deep tissue massages as it is about applying firm pressure on the muscles relieving pain and allowing the temporary soreness to result in relief. Meanwhile the Shiatsu massage uses only finger pressure over the blockage by the neck area to allow the clearance of paths for energy passage. This is for people who suffer from fatigue and stress.

2. Boosts blood circulation:

The pressure applied on the body adding to the warmth created due to the friction between the hands and the body produces heat to which oils play catalyst. This boosts blood circulation to the part of the body that is being massaged, further allowing strengthening the immunity of the individual.

3. Relieves muscle pain:

The primary function of the massage therapy is to relieve muscle pain and physical stress. For instance, the Thai massage involves the masseuse using his/her hands, legs, knees and feet to vary with the intensity of the pressure with respect to the body part of the person undergoing therapy. This helps in helping the person stretch and relieve sore muscles, making their joints pain free and healthier.

4. Reduces Stress:

The purpose of massages when treating mental fatigue is to relieve stress. The application of pressure helps better the blood circulation, allowing oxygen to fully energise the body. Massages help bring breathing in control, thanks to the relaxing effect it causes, that further helps relieve stress.

5. Helps body with flexibility:

The therapies allow strengthening joints and makes muscles flexible. The pressure helps the flexibility happen without causing much tension or pain to the muscles.
