As the year comes to a close, the stress levels are on the rise. Nteboheng Phooko, manager of the Sandton Spa, emphasizes the importance of spa treatments, particularly full-body massages, in managing stress.
Various types of massages are designed to target different stress points in the body.The final stretch of the year is here, and with it, the mad rush toward the finish line. It’s always a stressful time, so as we wrap up, taking a moment for some self-care should be at the top of everyone’s to-do list.
Stress is an inevitable part of our daily existence, but how we manage it can make all the difference. Nteboheng Phooko, manager of the Sandton Spa, said that spa treatments still serve as one of the most effective remedies for stress relief. She also noted that the benefits extend far beyond the immediate physical relaxation in situ.“A full-body massage can simply work wonders,” Phooko said. She added that various massages are designed to target different stress points in the body.
The science behind massage therapy’s ability to reduce stress is its impact on the body’s physiological processes. Phooko explained that massage induces a “relaxation response,” when heart rate and breathing slow down. Blood pressure also decreases, and the production of stress hormones is reduced. “Massage is also good for pain relief; therapeutic effects go beyond the surface of the skin,” she said.The long-term benefits of regular spa visits are equally attractive.
