Foot and Leg Massage

Service Description

Have you ever had a foot and leg massage before? If you haven’t, you should know that it feels like heaven, especially after a long day full of stress, standing up, and walking around. But there’s even more to a massage’s feeling of pure bliss; there’s also a range of health benefits that you’ll enjoy. So sit back, relax, and kick your feet up and lets talk about the importance of foot massages and leg massage benefits. How Does a Leg/Foot Massage Work? Leg and foot massages are therapeutic for your mind and body. During a foot and leg massage you get something called the 'relaxation response', which is the nervous system’s involuntary response to a massage touch or technique. In this state, your muscles relax, your heart rate and breathing slow, your blood pressure decreases, stress hormone production slows down, and serotonin (the “feel good” hormone) production begins. As a result, your mind feels more at ease as feelings of stress and anxiety are reduced. The physical effects of a massage result from the relaxation of soft tissue (connective and muscle tissue, tendons, ligaments) and increased blood flow and lymph circulation. During a massage, your muscle tissues relax so painful spasms are reduced. The physical manipulation of muscles and other soft tissue, increases your blood flow and lymph circulation as chemicals and hormones are released. Want to really enhance your results? Why not add on some targeted Light Therapy to the area, great for sore heels and plantar fasciitis. We also offer gift vouchers, so why not treat a friend?
