Sleep Massage
Great sleep is a vital part of having a healthy and happy day to day. Sleep massages are designed to help facilitate better sleep by focusing areas of the body that provide greater relaxation. If you struggle with insomnia or have a hard time with sleeping, a sleep massage may be just the thing you need.
Benefits of Sleep Massage
SLEEP MASSAGES ALLEVIATE DISCOMFORT
Targeting areas where you are experiencing pain or discomfort is one way in which a sleep massage will help you earn a better night’s rest.
EFFECTIVE FOR TREATING ANXIETY
Through relaxing your muscles, a sleep massage will help your body reduce cortisol, making stress and anxiety dissipate so you can focus on sleep.
PROMOTES RELAXATION
When your body is less tense, so is your sleep schedule. Relaxation with a sleep massage will help your body achieve a level of comfort conducive to sleep.
Sleep Massage Techniques
SCALP MASSAGE
Scalp massages are one of the most relaxing techniques used in sleep massage sessions. A scalp massage will help you calm your mind and your body simultaneously, and will also increase circulation and stimulate the hair follicles in your head. This leads to better sleep and better hair.
FACE AND NECK MASSAGE
A face and neck massage is a vital part of a proper sleep massage. Much like a scalp massage, paying special attention to the face and neck will help loosen up the tension in your upper body preventing you from getting a healthy night of sleep.
BACK AND SHOULDER MASSAGE
By massaging the back and shoulders, your therapist will work to reduce any existing pain and discomfort that comes out when you’re trying to sleep. This is where the most tension is generally stored, and reducing this tension will have a compounding effect on your entire body’s ability to relax.
