Releasing toxins

Given the numerous physical, mental and emotional benefits massage and physical touch bring to the human organism – Massage therapy has earned its space on our Programme.

Doctors have measured through tests such as MRIs that there are evident changes in the patterns of brain activity during touch. Certain types of endorphins that combat stress hormones are released when we are touched, and this results in a feeling of relaxation and peace.

Touch as a healing method is rooted in ancient history. Many Eastern and Western Civilizations found that massage therapy could heal injuries, relieve pain, reduce stress, prevent and cure illnesses. Massages promote the release of built-up toxins in your body causing numerous health problems.

In a time when we are globally social distancing, physical touch as a therapy cannot be underestimated.
