IT'S REAL PAINKILLER

In scientific studies, when neuroscientists put the brain activity of people undergoing different touch-treatments into comparison, bare hand massaging your body activates the specific part of the brain which is reactive with opioid painkillers such as codeine.


That said, you don't really need to take a painkiller, instead, ask your massage therapist to press on your acupressure point, or any reflex point in your body, at least 5 seconds with sustain medium pressure, that is giving your body a release on its knots on the muscle, thus a more relaxed body!


IMMUNITY SYSTEM BOOSTER

Believe it or not, massage not only improves blood circulation, it also changes the recipient's blood composition. For example, after a 1-hour Thai Massage treatment, he or she will have a higher level of blood protein which is a very important factor in body defence toward tumor, virus and pathogens.

IT MAKES YOU MORE FLEXIBLE

Weekly massage therapy could help one to achieve high mobility of different body parts, because massage can relieve pain and soreness of the body especially the lower back and upper thigh stiffness for athletes!


STRESS REDUCER

Massage can reduce the level of cortisol in the body, which is the stress hormone. It alleviates your mind, your muscle; it lowers your heart rate, blood pressure. Practice recorded for free-divers who are going to take static breath-hold examination after a massage session perform significantly better.


MOOD BOOSTER

Studies on massage therapy suggests that, on average, massage increase the level of serotonin in our body, which is a neurotransmitter linked to happiness, by 28% and dopamine, one that is related to arousal, motivation by 31%. This brings a significantly positive effect for your day!


IT HELPS RESTORATION AFTER EXERCISE

Hours of exercises can bring soreness to your muscle, because of the inflammation happening in your body and that can totally cause you restlessness at the end of the day. Massaging muscle can bring blood circulation thus nutrients and oxygen can recover the body, facilitating detoxification in the cells. Professional athletes receive massage right after their match or competitions in order to make the restoration progress faster and as a result, a good night of sleep.
