Project Description
Massage is a manual practice that uses sliding, friction and kneading techniques for body parts in order to stimulate the circulatory, lymphatic, nervous and energetic systems, providing relaxation for the body and mind, combating physical and mental fatigue. .
The benefits of massage can be observed during its performance, however they tend to be more evident when the practice becomes frequent, that is, when the person performs massage at least once a week.
The Active Relaxing massage is a technique that mixes firm and gentle movements over the body. These movements, in turn, stimulate the production of relaxing hormones, such as oxytocin, which improves stress and feelings of fear, as well as serotonin, which normalizes mood, heart rate and sensitivity to pain.
