Massages are welcome in any season. Although at this time of year we come and go, we get hot, we cool down with the air conditioners, we cool off in the sea, the river or the pool.
We are on vacation, we are working and looking forward to it, or worse, we have already spent it! Whatever the situation, the best way to deal with the heat and summer stress is to put yourself in the hands of a good professional and pamper yourself with a good massage.
What benefits does a massage provide?
Without going into details about types of massages, which we will talk about in the next section, a massage always provides a series of benefits that we should not lose sight of.
To begin with, a massage relaxes you. And we already know how important it is to keep cortisol, anxiety and stress at bay. In addition, it activates blood circulation and the lymphatic system, which relieves ailments related to poor circulation such as varicose veins, tired legs, swollen feet…
On the other hand, a massage is also an emotional balm, how? A massage relaxes us in such a way that for some people it transcends merely physical relaxation. The mind also enters a mode of relaxation that promotes a calm similar to what can be achieved through exercises such as meditation. So, when we receive a massage, we obtain not only a physical benefit, but also an emotional one. We are taking care of ourselves, we are loving ourselves and we are giving ourselves what we need.
Massage to relieve or prevent pain
Continuing with the benefits that massage provides, we can say that it relieves headaches, promotes falling asleep, relaxes the muscles and improves the elasticity of the skin. Another benefit that is especially welcome in summer is that it helps in cases of constipation, promoting digestion and evacuation.
During the summer period we eat and drink less common things and in different quantities than during the rest of the year. We leave home, the town, hotels, the beach house, other cities, other countries… Anything that helps regulate our function is more than welcome, right?
What types of massage exist?
There are many types of massages. Depending on the country of origin (Swedish massage, Thai massage, Indian massage…), depending on the desired result (relieving massage, draining massage, relaxing massage…). We are going to make a short description of the massages we offer at Zenia Natural, so that you can get excited and come enjoy one or more!

What type of massage is best?
We cannot say that one type of massage is better than another. It all depends on the tastes of the person who receives it and even more so, on their specific needs. Each and every type of massage provides to one degree or another the well-being and relaxation we seek.
It is important, as in all aspects related to health, to maintain consistency. If we drink two liters of water one day, but don’t drink it the rest of the week, we’re not exactly doing it right, right?
Our health depends on the measures we take to alleviate our ailments, but above all, on what we do to prevent them. If we go to our massage specialist with some regularity, we will be more likely to avoid serious contractures, among other things. We can treat ourselves to the massage that we like the most or try a new one each time.
