Our natural response to a stressful situation is either fight or flight.
The body releases as many as 30 hormones which causes an:
Increase the heart rate
Increase blood pressure
Pupils dilation to take in as much light as possible
Veins constriction in the skin to send more blood to major muscle groups
Blood sugar level increases
Tensed muscles, energized by adrenaline and glucose
With the advent of civilisation, we are no longer able to fight or flight and so all the instinctual responces our bodies have learned over 1000's of years are left raging while we are forced to deal with the situation in a civilized manner.
The result is we lift our shoulders dropping our neck into our torso & close our arms around the front of our bodies to try and protect ourselves. The muscles of our shoulders, upper back and neck, become over worked and exhausted.
A De-Stress massage targets these muscles, relaxing them, removing the negative energy & hormones, returning them to their normal length, leaving you more relaxed, de-stressed & free from pain.
De-Stress Massage uses a combination of Deep Tissue Massage, Trigger Point Therapy and Mobilisation Techniques
