Did you know that there are types of massages that improve the immune system or the functioning of a specific organ?

Below we show the main massages and their benefits.

Stressed or uptight?

Relaxing massage

Lomi Lomi

Neurosedative

Relaxation is one of the main effects of manipulations. When we put ourselves in the hands of a professional masseuse we relax while releasing all the muscular tension accumulated during the day, thus reducing daily stress. This type of muscle relaxation acts on the joints and bones, as in this way they become elastic and with greater agility in movement.

Thanks to all this, the mind feels much freer, less blocked and well prepared to face the day. The body produces endorphins naturally, this substance helps fight depression, anxiety and pain.

Digestive problems

Since massage generally reduces the level of stress and anxiety, this allows the muscles of the diaphragm to relax and greatly improves our respiratory system. This allows for greater oxygenation of the blood and improves the cardiovascular system.

Increased blood flow also improves the digestive system and reduces the risk of gastritis. Therefore, an organ such as the intestine also benefits, since good friction stimulates peristalsis and reduces cases of chronic constipation.

Dehydrated skin

A good massage stimulates the release of dead cells from the connective system and stimulates the pores of the sebaceous glands. In this way, the skin is more luminous and able to better absorb all the oils and lotions used for massage.

A natural medicine for the lymphatic system: draining massage

Body massages have an immediate effect for the stimulation of body fluids, helping the kidneys to eliminate and expel body fluids. Especially thanks to the draining massage the toxins accumulated in our body are eliminated due to the stagnation of the lymphatic system.

Not just cellulite: Anti-cellulite massage

The massages also act against the annoying imperfections of cellulite, helping to reduce it and fight it since our body increases blood circulation.

Greater nutrition of our tissues and increases capillary dilation, lowering blood pressure.

An anti-cellulite massage is also very effective and beneficial for our cardiovascular system, since it not only increases the capacity of the blood in our body, but also improves its quality. Blood flow increases but the pressure on the blood vessels decreases, making our heart stronger.

In our massage center in Barcelona we also offer a special treatment to restore lightness to tired legs.
