One of the immediate benefits of massage is a feeling of deep relaxation and calm. This occurs because massage prompts the release of endorphins – the brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that produce feelings of wellbeing. Levels of stress hormones, such as adrenalin, cortisol and norepinephrine, are also reduced. Studies indicate that high levels of stress hormones impair the immune system. Other benefits include reduced muscle tension, improved circulation and improved recovery of soft tissue injuries amongst many other benefits.

Cupping therapy is an ancient form of traditional medicine that originated in China and West Asia. Your therapist places cups on the part of your body causing pain or discomfort. Suction is created through the use of heat or a vacuum, pulling the skin upwards. This draws blood to the treatment area helping to relieve tension and pain.
