Jetlag massage

Service Description

A "jet lag massage" is a therapeutic treatment designed to alleviate the symptoms of jet lag, such as fatigue, muscle tension, and disrupted sleep, by combining various massage techniques like Swedish, deep tissue, and acupressure. The massage aims to relax the body, improve circulation, stimulate the lymphatic system to reduce swelling, and promote overall relaxation to help reset your body's internal clock and aid recovery from long-distance travel. How it Helps Reduces Fatigue: Massage helps to combat the persistent fatigue associated with jet lag by promoting relaxation and improving sleep quality. Eases Muscle Tension: Techniques like deep tissue massage can release the muscle stiffness and tension that can build up from prolonged sitting during flights. Improves Circulation: Rhythmic pressure and strokes from a massage enhance blood flow, helping to distribute oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. Stimulates Lymphatic Drainage: Certain techniques can help stimulate the lymphatic system, which can reduce swelling in the legs and feet that often occurs after flights. Promotes Relaxation and Sleep: By activating the parasympathetic nervous system and incorporating aromatherapy, a jet lag massage helps create a state of deep relaxation conducive to restful sleep. Common Techniques Used Swedish Massage: Known for its gentle, flowing strokes that promote relaxation and circulation. Deep Tissue Massage: Focuses on deeper muscle layers to release chronic tension and muscle knots. Acupressure: Involves applying pressure to specific points on the body, such as the Yintang point between the eyebrows, to relieve discomfort and promote balance. Aromatherapy: The use of essential oils like lavender or peppermint can enhance the relaxing and soothing effects of the massage. When to Get One Before a Flight: To prepare the body by loosening muscles and improving circulation. During a Trip: As a mobile massage, a therapist can come to your accommodation for convenience, allowing you to relax and go to sleep afterward. After a Flight: To directly combat the effects of travel, though you can book this in advance to have a therapist come to you right after you arrive.
