Types of Massage For Mother’s Day

Here are a few massage therapies you can choose from.

1. Psoas Massage

The Psoas is the muscle of the soul. It is the only muscle that connects the torso to the lower body. It is responsible for everyday activities like sitting, walking, running dancing, etc. Tight Psoas muscle can cause lower back pain, hip pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, and constipation. It also holds onto traumatic experiences on a cellular level. Psoas Massage brings balance, harmony, and joy to life.

2. Lypossage

Lypossage eases the body’s stress reaction and helps with mental and physical stress. The Lymphatic system plays a big role in the body’s immune system and it’s been suggested that this form of healing massage can help treat various health conditions like lymphedema, swelling or edema, insomnia, fatigue, stress, arthritis, digestive problems, and more.

3. Bowen Therapy

Bowen Therapy reduces pain by stimulating the nervous system and increases motor function. It works on every system of the body at the same time which is why its results are very long-lasting. It works wonders in bringing balance to the autonomic nervous system, increasing bioenergy, and releasing whole-body tension.

4. Relaxing Massage

A Relaxing Massage promotes stress relief, easing tension in muscles and calming the mind. It enhances blood circulation, aids in toxin removal, and improves overall well-being. Not only this but by reducing anxiety and enhancing relaxation, it also improves sleep quality and boosts mood, leaving one feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
