Botanica Day Spa - Why get a massage?

By: Jayden Adams
 

Receiving a massage is more than just a luxury that the elite enjoy. It is more than just a one time treatment that you should get on a special occasion. Massages have benefits that will prolong your overall quality of health as well as make you a much more relaxed and happy person. Historically massages have not been considered just a frivolous activity. It was a common and dignified treatment of the ancient Greeks, Romans, and Chinese. This might help give the scope and historical credibility of the importance of massages.

Ancient Chinese even used massages as a form of medical treatment. The basis of the medical benefits of massages lie in the nervous system. Massages increase the circulation of blood flow in your body, in turn it increases the amount of nutrients and oxygen flowing to you body tissues. Thus creating a more efficient detoxification system in your body. The waste and toxins stored in you body are more readily eradicated. This is a reason why massage therapists always recommend drinking lots of water before and after a massage; because your body is going through a detox process.

With the world in a state of dense pollution today, there are too many unwanted toxins stored in your beautiful body. Toxins effect not only the body but they affect the mind as well. Massages can cause a state of relaxation, and clearer thinking due to the expulsion of toxins. In this day and age we are all faced with an unprecedented amount of stress we all need help. Whether it\'s the deadlines at work, the screaming kids, the paper that is due, or just the rigor of the daily grind, stress is a monster we fight a war with on a daily basis. Another excellent benefit of massages is it\'s stress relieving factor. The activity of body tissues increase and stimulate endorphins in your body. This creates an environment of happy feelings and no stress. Thus the relaxed feeling you get while receiving a massage is not just the aromas of natural oils being rubbed onto your skin, or the professional hands of the massage therapist, or the ambiance of the spa, it is a chemical reaction occurring in your body.

Think of the massage room at Botanica Day Spa as you sanctuary. A place where you can be in peace and just relax, a luxury we often don\'t get to have. Another aspect of the massage which might not be common knowledge is, that it is not the same for everyone. It is not a cookie cutter treatment. Depending on your needs and problems the massage therapist can use different techniques. That seem very logical, but is often over looked. For example, for athletes there are massages that specifically target the problematic areas and enhance your performance on the court. Or for soon to be moms, Botanica offers PRENATAL massages, which is designed to be very gentle and soothing both mom and baby. The amount of pressure ranges from very light to extremely hard depending on the tastes and preferences of the client. The Swedish massage and the Hot Stone Massage are examples of two completely different massages designed for two completely different people. So next time you drive by a spa, and see MASSAGE OFFERED HERE, on the window, don\'t just pass it by. Remember all of the benefits that a massage offers and make the effort to have massages on a regular basis for the health of you mind and body, and not just a \"special occasion\" thing.
