It&#8217;s the time where there&#8217;s absolutely no reason to have any worries whether that&#8217;s\u00a0work, family, bills etc.\u00a0\u00a0It&#8217;s the time to focus on you!

We have all had those days when simply reaching down to lace up a pair of trainers is an issue too painful to complete. An athletic injury, sleeping in the wrong position, or lifting a heavy box can all cause chaos on your muscles and stop you dead in your tracks for days. Thankfully, a course of regular\u00a0massage treatments can help relieve this muscle pain, tension, and soreness. Most common are tight shoulders, neck, lower back and legs.<\/p>\n<p><u>3.

Many different studies indicate massage helps combat these issues because it can reduce levels of cortisol while increasing neurotransmitters that combat depression.<\/p>\n<p>Psychological problems are often apparent in physical ways. Think about it, what does your body do when your feeling down and low? Most likely it \u00a0feels achy and weak, your shoulders droop, you drag your feet and you slump over. Massage therapists call this a \u201cstructural collapse\u201d which happens when we feel depressed.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>4 \u2013 Hangovers and No Energy<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most likely, 80% of holiday makers will have at least one day where you will\u00a0have drank a few\u00a0too many strawberry daiquiris, vodkas or shots, and you are not feeling the will to\u00a0go on!<\/p>\n<p>In essence the massage is a fantastic way to come back to a quick recovery, with boosting your immune system.<\/p>\n<p>A 2010 study published in the <em>Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine<\/em> found that massage boosts patients\u2019 white blood cell count (which plays a large role in defending the body from disease).<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cO Beach Detox Massage\u201d is specifically designed by Celebrity Masseur Ashley Fernando.
