Studies have shown wide-ranging health benefits of massages. For example, according to the Mayo Clinic, “Studies of the benefits of massage demonstrate that it is an effective treatment for reducing stress, pain, and muscle tension.” Massages help soothe aches and pains, reduce anxiety, lift your spirits, and lower your blood pressure. Massages have also been linked to clearer thinking. Massages boost neurotransmitters of serotonin and dopamine that can elevate your mood and even help battle depression. Best of all, we only have well-trained, licensed, and insured New York State spa therapists who are seasoned and experienced practitioners.
