Just a Few of the Many Benefits of Massage

We often think of a massage as a luxury. Maybe we treat ourselves to a spa treatment for a special event, like an anniversary or bachelorette weekend. But massage therapy is just that: therapy for our bodies and our minds. And its benefits reach far beyond our time on the massage table.

Relaxation and Stress Reduction

Massages help us relax. They not only relieve the tension in our muscles; they also promote the release of endorphins (those feel-good hormones). These benefits can last for days after you leave the treatment room. Messages also relieve tension headaches as an added benefit. Increased relaxation and less stress can also mean better sleep. Try our Heavenly Head & Shoulders Massage to help with sinus pressure and stressed muscles. 

Circulation

Massage can improve circulation, support blood pressure regulation and improve overall cardiovascular health. Our Swedish Massage can help in promoting an overall heart-healthy lifestyle. Did you spend the day hiking some of our 85+ miles of trails? A Deep Tissue Massage can help increase your circulation along with treating and relaxing your joints and muscles, and our Summer Wellness Massage uses citrus and spearmint to uplift and rejuvenate. 

Decompression

It isn’t often that we allow ourselves to disconnect from the sensory overload of life’s pressures and responsibilities. When was the last time you enjoyed true peace and solitude? The quiet warmth of a treatment room helps us to do just that. Bring yourself; leave your worries (and your phone) behind as you indulge in an Aroma Massage. Your senses will be calmed and comforted as you breathe deeply and feel the tension leave your body and mind. Our herbal essential oils provide natural, botanical benefits.

Self-Care

It’s often said that we can not pour from an empty cup, and massages are the ultimate in self-care. Whether you are an expectant mother indulging in our Maternity Massage or looking for intense hydration with our Ginger Rejuvenator, let us help you to connect with yourself. In our Contrast Hydrotherapy Massage, CBD-infused oils help boost your immunity, which is vital to overall health.

Massages don’t just feel good; they do good. Whether visiting for the weekend or the day, our spa treatments can help you to relax and rejuvenate. And when you’ve left the spa, feel free to explore more ways in which Mohonk Mountain House offers a variety of mindfulness experiences.
