Massage is a manual therapy that focuses on releasing soft tissues and muscles by manipulating, kneading, stretching and pressure. At Revitalize XPP we offer both Relaxation massage and Remedial massage. 

Relaxation massage is more of a flowing sequence with the focus on calming and restoring the body and mind. Compared to a Remedial Massage which is more tailored to releasing tension in the muscles working with a deeper pressure, and focused on injuries or pain. 

As massage promotes the release of endorphins it is a great way to feel a deep sense of relaxation, therefore decreasing the stress levels in the body. 

Other great benefits of massage are:

• Pain relief
• Promoting blood circulation
• Reducing anxiety
• Delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS)
• Stimulates the lymphatic system

Here at Revitalize XPP our massage therapist René likes to implement relaxation in her Remedial treatments as she has found that encouraging the body’s state of relaxation helps with releasing tension in the body and muscles.
