Full-body massage soft music, low lighting, a feeling of tranquility—it’s bliss.But what most people don’t know is that while you might be in a state of total relaxation your body is going into full activation mode during a massage.A massage stimulates your nervous system wakes up your muscles, organs, and glands; moves blood and lymph fluid, and gets multitudes of cells to produce and release chemicals and hormones.

1.Reduce stress
One of the most common reasons people book a full body massage is to reduce any ongoing stress and anxiety. The combination of gentle massage strokes and deeply relaxing music can help you to relax.

2. Relieve muscle injury
There’s a reason you often see footballers and other sports stars getting an after-match massage on the pitch; massaging the muscles can help to reduce the risk of injury, relieve tension and improve muscle recovery after exertion.

3. Improve sleep
Chronic lack of sleep can cause serious problems for both your physical and mental wellbeing, but regular full body massages can help; by relaxing the mind and relieving stress-related physical tension, you'll be in a better position to achieve a full night's rest. At Spa Theory, we even offer a dedicated Sleep Massage for those who struggle with insomnia or sleep troubles.

4. Better blood circulation
A massage helps to increase the oxygenation of cells through improved blood flow, so you’ll enjoy better circulation and increased flexibility after a full body treatment. Improved circulation has a knock-on effect on your overall wellbeing; you'll notice improved concentration and even a more glowing complexion.
