Wellness massage: why is it promoted by complementary health insurance?

 "An hour of relaxation to soothe the body and free the mind."

Why is a massage good for your health?

Reduced stress and anxiety

Relaxation massage is renowned for its positive, anti-stress effects on the nervous system. By releasing accumulated tension, it helps to reduce anxiety and promote a state of mental calm, encouraging you to let go. Slow, regular, fluid movements release endorphins, the happy hormones that generate a feeling of well-being.

Improved blood circulation

The pressure techniques applied during massage promote blood circulation, enabling muscles to relax more quickly and eliminate toxins from the lymphatic system. This also helps reduce feelings of fatigue and heaviness in the body.

Muscle pain relief

This type of massage can be particularly beneficial for those suffering from muscular pain linked to stress, poor posture or intense physical activity. By relieving tension (back, neck...), relaxation massage helps reduce muscular pain and improve flexibility.

Improved sleep

Another major benefit of relaxation massage is its positive impact on sleep. By relaxing the body and mind, it can help overcome insomnia and improve sleep quality. Many people find that they sleep better after a massage session.

Boosting the immune system

By reducing stress and promoting better blood circulation, relaxation massage also has an impact on the immune system. It helps stimulate the body's natural defenses and prevent certain illnesses during the winter months.

How does a relaxation massage session work?

During a relaxing massage session, you'll be comfortably seated on a massage table. The therapist will use vegetable oils, to which he or she may add essential oils (with your agreement) to nourish the skin and facilitate movements. Gestures will be slow, gentle and enveloping, designed to release accumulated tension throughout the body.
The session lasts 1 or 1.5 hours, depending on your preferences and needs. By the end of the massage, you'll feel relaxed, rested and ready to face the day with renewed energy.
