The pharmacist Rocío Escalante, owner of Arbosana Farmacia and director of the Rocío Escalante beauty center, tells us about the benefits of relaxing massages.
Relaxing massage is a manual therapy that aims to improve well-being and health. In addition to releasing the tension, the benefits of massage go deeper. And although there are a lot of types and techniques, in the hands of a good professional, like those at the Rocío Escalante center, the benefits are similar.
-Help reduce headaches, and back and neck pain. Although if we have a muscular problem, it is advisable to visit a physiotherapist, massage also helps to relax the muscles and release the tension that we tend to accumulate in areas such as the neck, shoulders, and back… and that usually causes headaches.

-Decrease the level of stress. Both the maneuvers carried out by the therapist and the atmosphere in the center invite deep relaxation, by slowing the heart rate, which favors a feeling of inner peace and calm, which improves stress.
-Stimulate blood circulation. Circulation problems are common in people who work for a long time standing or sitting and lead to leg pain, swelling, and even varicose veins. If applied with some pressure, the massage also helps to reactivate the circulation.
-They favor the elimination of toxins. Although the body has various mechanisms to dispose of accumulated toxins, massage also favors their elimination, by stimulating the lymphatic vessels and nodes.
-Combat anxiety. Relaxing massages help increase hormones such as serotonin (known as the hormone of happiness) or dopamine while decreasing cortisol levels (hormone related to stress). This balances the mood, increases the feeling of well-being, and fights anxiety.
