10 Health Benefits of Relaxation
Bodyworks Massage Therapy is closing on Sunday 11 October 2026.
We are still taking bookings from new and existing clients, however if you're a new client needing longer term care, please enquire elsewhere. If you're new and just need one or two sessions, we're more than happy to see you and you can book online with any of our therapists.
Existing clients, we thank you for being part of the Bodyworks journey over the past 16 years - it's been a privilege.
In this busy, fast-paced world we barely have time to breathe, let alone relax. This article from The Huffington Post gives you 10 clear reasons it's important you learn to relax. It can:
- Reduce your risk of heart attack, high-blood pressure and other heart problems
- Decrease your chance of catching a cold
- Boost your memory and cognitive function
- Lower your risk of stroke
- Help minimise depression by increasing your levels of dopamine & seratonin
- Give you better decision making skills
- Discourage you from eating bad foods - high in sugar and fat
- Reduce skin flare-ups such as pimples, acne or psoriasis
- Improve your sex life
- Slow the progression of breast cancer and speed up recovery
There's many positive ways to relax such as exercising, reading a booking, meditating - and even having a massage!
So, give your body a break and relax.
