Anti-stress massage is a type of massage that works the physical and psychological together to combat tension and stimulate well-being.
This is a massage performed through the touch of the hands, which relaxes the muscles, mobilizes the joints, and regulates blood and lymph circulation. During the process, the hormone oxytocin is released, which helps combat stress.
Basically, anti-stress massages serve to relax body and mind! They are very popular with people who need to combat symptoms such as irritability, lack of concentration, fear, anxiety, muscle tension, and poor blood circulation.
However, anti-stress massages also relieve localized pain, generate greater flexibility, improve posture and blood circulation. In essence, they bring a sense of comfort and general well-being, as they stop stress - which has a lot of impact on the immune system - and prevent health problems.
The origin of massage against stress is lost in time. It is believed that it was already practiced in prehistoric times to cure some pains and provide well-being.
Later, whether in Ancient Greece or in the Rome of the Middle Ages, it was used for relaxation: records indicate that warriors resorted to massage when returning from battle to relieve tension and achieve physical and emotional well-being.
Then, around 300 B.C., Egyptians, Hindus, Chinese, Japanese, Greeks, and Romans began using massage techniques to eliminate stress.
