Five Reasons to Get Regular Massages
Traditional Thai massage
We know how it is. You really like the idea of having a massage, but it's something you just keep on putting off. You can't afford it, you haven't got the time, we've heard it all. So to counteract the reasons you give yourself for not booking yourself in, here are some reasons to get that treatment organised ASAP!

Pain Relief

Are you one of those people who just put up with headaches, back pain or a sore shoulder? Get thee down to Sala Thai Spa for a massage. It's been proved over and over that regular massages can help reduce chronic pain, saving you money on painkillers and giving you a much better way to manage everyday aches and pains.

Better Sleep

Most of us are occasional insomniacs, but if you struggle to get to sleep and stay asleep, a regular trip to Sala Thai Spa could get you sleeping like a baby once more. A good massage helps you let go of muscular tension and also makes subtle changes to your hormone levels which help you to relax. Massage therapy can positively affect the delta waves in your brain, which are connected to deeper sleep.

Relieving Mild Depression

Feeling blue? You could be suffering from mild depression if you feel tense, stressed and anxious. Wouldn't you know it, physical touch and massage can lower the levels of cortisol, a stress hormone, in your body. Too much cortisol can cause problems such as weight gain and depression, and massaging naturally helps regulate its production.

Boosting Immunity

Being stressed out makes it harder for your body to fight off illnesses, especially at this time of year when there are so many bugs to avoid. Massage can help by stimulating the lymphatic system, which drains and releases bacterial and viral waste from the body and gives your body a fighting chance of repelling all the nasty bugs that threaten it.

Looking after Number One

If you don't look after yourself, you won't have the energy to be able to do all the things for everyone else that you have to do! It doesn't have to be a full on two hour massage with hot stones – just an everyday massage on a regular basis is fabulous for improving your health and wellbeing. How can you take care of anyone else if you aren't taking care of yourself?
