Massage has the power to transport stressed minds into a realm of bliss. The simple art of rubbing and massaging tired muscles offers a respite, a sanctuary where tension disappears and body and mind find harmony again. Massages in Tenerife can be reserved to relieve the burdens of daily life or to treat symptoms of chronic pain. Others simply to enjoy a moment of pure relaxation.
What is massage therapy?
Pamper your senses, nourish your body and discover the healing power of touch. In ancient Egyptian, Chinese, Roman and Greek civilisations, massage was a holistic practice revered for preventing and curing disease.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), massage is an essential treatment method for balancing the body’s basic energy, known as Qi. The ancient teachings have been passed down through time to form the basis of what we now recognise as modern massage therapy.

Benefits of enjoying massages in Tenerife
In addition to eliminating stress and tension stored in the body, there are many benefits of massage therapy. Although the list is long, these are our favourite benefits:
Improved circulation
Massage therapy, regardless of style, promotes better blood circulation in the body, which facilitates the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the cells and aids in the elimination of toxins and waste products.
Stronger immune system
Massage therapy increases the production of white blood cells, the cells that play a crucial role in the body’s defence against illness and disease.
Better sleep quality
When receiving a massage, the body enters a deep state of relaxation that reduces stress levels. This improves the quality and duration of sleep, which helps to alleviate disorders such as insomnia and restless leg syndrome.
Reduction of anxiety symptoms
People suffering from depression and anxiety benefit from massage therapy as it promotes the release of endorphins, serotonin and dopamine, neurotransmitters associated with feelings of happiness and relaxation.

Californian massage
The Californian massage is a therapeutic massage technique that originated in California in the 1970s. It is characterized by being a soft and fluid massage, which seeks to relax both the body and mind of the recipient. This type of massage combines long, fluid movements with compression and stretching, making it a very immersive and pleasurable experience. This massage is ideal for people looking for a deep relaxation experience and a holistic approach to their well-being. However, as with any therapy, it is advisable to consult a health professional before beginning any treatment, especially if you have medical conditions.
Deep tissue massage
Deep tissue massage is a type of massage aimed at the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia, also called connective tissue. Deep tissue massage uses many of the same movements and techniques as a classic massage therapy but the pressure will be more intense and specific. It is also a more focused type of massage, as the therapist works to release chronic muscle tension or knots (also known as “adhesions.”) The primary purpose of a deep tissue massage is to work the fibers and muscles of the body, releasing deeply rooted patterns of tension. As the muscles relax, toxins are removed and blood and oxygen begin to circulate properly, making the entire body function better.This massage is ideal for people looking for a deep relaxation experience and a holistic approach to their well-being. However, as with any therapy, it is advisable to consult a health professional before beginning any treatment, especially if you have medical conditions.

Traditional thai massage
Thai Massage is a unique type of bodywork with a very long tradition being developed 2500 years ago. It originates from Indian Ayurvedic and Chinese Medicine, Yoga and Acupressure. Thai Massage is often called “yoga for lazy people” or “passive yoga”. This is because the therapist applies gentle Yoga stretches combined with the receiver’s deep breathing, which brings similar effects as that of yoga: the release of tension and blockages in the body and a calming to the mind. The main difference is that the receiver stays totally relaxed and the therapist does the stretching. The receiver wears loose clothing throughout the treatment and the massage is done on a firm futon or mat on the floor rather than a raised table. This allows for many movements and techniques to be used that are not practical or effective on the table. The main benefits you will feel after a Thai Massage session are improved posture, flexibility, breathing and circulation of blood, reduction in emotional and nervous tension, stretching of the muscles, toning of the inner organs, a deep sense of peace experienced during and often for some time after the treatment.
