COUPLES MASSAGE – touch that connects 💚💛🧡

Massage causes blood flow to the skin and reddening, which is the result of a biochemical effect. The body activates substances such as acetylcholine and histamine, which dilate the surface capillaries. These fill with oxygenated blood, leading to reddening of the skin and accelerating metabolism in the massaged areas.

The reflexive effect of massage lies in the fact that by touching and applying pressure to nerve endings in the skin, we influence distant organs and tissues. Through nerve pathways, massage stimulates self-healing processes in the body, which can, for example, lead to improved function of internal organs when massaging the feet. This principle utilizes the interconnectedness of the entire organism through the nervous system.

When we hurt ourselves, we instinctively rub the painful area. Similarly, rubbing our temples relieves headaches. This shows that massage techniques and pressure can effectively relieve pain. Massage also supports the body’s self-healing processes, leading to cleansing and harmonization.

Touch, our first sense, has a positive effect on the central nervous system. Massage therefore immediately reduces stress and tension, acting as a balm for both body and soul. Touch relaxes the mind and induces a feeling of calm, relaxation, and well-being. During touch, oxytocin, the hormone responsible for good mood, is released, reducing stress.
