MASSAGES
Going stressfree through life? Impossible. And that unfortunately takes its toll on our bodies. After all, who can say they never had to deal with stress-related muscle pain and cramping? Fortunately, an anti-stress massage offers a solution.
During this full body massage, your muscles are loosened and softened usingoil. Doing so, results in improved blood and lymphatic flow, and waste products are removed. The soothing feeling follows naturally.
Fun fact. Our most developed sense is touch. Stronger than hearing, sight, smell and taste. Our skin contains tiny sensors that process all kinds of signals from outside, and then transmit them to our brain and the deeper emotional brain. This immediately explains why touch feels nice, leads to less stress and reduces feelings of anxiety, depression, pain and aggression. Also, your ability to concentrate and your immune system improves, and your blood pressure drops. In a nutshell: this massage not only is a form of relaxation, but it is also a real investment in your physical and mental health.

A demanding job? Probaby following words do not sound unfamiliar to you: long working days, an unstoppable work rhythm, unavoidable stress, little exercise, and so on. In addition, we work more and more from home these days. And usually not in the best ergonomic conditions.
Sitting in front of a laptop for too long, an unadapted monitor height, an inappropriate chair and working with an inappropriate keyboard and mouse. All these factors unfortunately lead to serious muscle tension and cramping between the shoulder blades and in the neck area. If you leave these symptoms untreated, you will experience persistent headaches, arm and/or leg pain. The muscles in your neck, back and shoulder become tense, they harden and eventually form muscle knots.
The solution? A back, neck and shoulder massage. This massage witholie focuses on targeted pressure points. Muscle knots are eliminated, waste products are drained, and an improved blood circulation occurs. Hardened muscles regain their suppleness. Tissues receive more oxygen, allowing these to repair and recover more easily. Thus, your work quality, your ability to concentrate and your energy level will improve by leaps and bounds.

A sports or deep tissue massage penetrates the deepest layers of your muscles and connective tissue. The muscle layers and the deep fascia are (literally) firmly taken in hand. The capillaries in your muscles and the surrounding connective tissue open up further and the knots are removed from your muscles. The result? An improved blood flow and faster removal of waste products, such as fluids and lactate, from your body. This way, your body will feel more supple again.
This massage is highly recommended if you actively exercise, are at the beginning of a training program, in preparation for peak performance or need to recover after a game or competition. This is because you promote the recovery of your muscles and prevent future muscle pain. Namely this type of massage not only relieves acute pain and chronic movement complaints, but also works preventively. Whether your body is going to thank you? No doubt about it.
Because this massage is more intense, it is best not to perform it right after extremely strenuous exercise or injuries. In that case, opt for an anti-stress massage or rehabilitative massage.

A lengthy rehabilitation process can cause frustration.
But with a targeted massage, the process can become more bearable and faster.
A massage promotes the physical healing process. Blood circulation is stimulated, improving the circulation of blood in painful muscles and tissues. As a result, they feel a lot smoother, and pain symptoms decrease faster. The fascia is loosened up and the muscles receive more movement space.
But that’s not the only thing. A massage also affects your hormone system. It stimulates the production of oxytocin, also known as “the cuddle hormone”. It brings a peaceful and relaxed feeling that makes pain much more bearable. Also, the stress hormone Cortisol decreases and more endorphins, better known as “the body’s painkiller,” are produced.
Of course, when required this massage happens in conjunction with your med or physiotherapist.

In a hot stone treatment, stones of pure basalt are heated to a controlled and pleasant temperature and placed on relevant areas of the body. And used for a gentle massage.
Thanks to the heat and weight of the stones, blood circulation is promoted and muscles relax. This relieves muscle pain, but is also very relaxing. This, in turn, helps to improve sleep and quiet the mind.
If you can free a little more time, a hot stone treatment is ideal to support an anti-stress massage or rehabilitation. Thanks to the heat, the effectiveness of the overall massage increases, the muscles and your mind engage in a deeper state of relaxation, and muscle and joint pains are more intensely combatted.
Hence, you can enjoy this treatment on its own or complement it with one of the massages offered.
