5 Reasons to Buy Your Partner a Massage Gift Voucher This Christmas
I have always found vouchers to be a cheats way out when coming to buying Christmas gifts. It is the go-to panic present when you’re totally out of ideas, but a gift voucher for a massage is something much more personal and the effects are more than you first think.
Massage is used as a tool to alleviate stress, pain and give a period of relaxation to the recipient. A great thing about massage is that anyone can have one. Regardless of if you’re a senior or a healthy athlete, massage works in different ways on a range of people and is an appropriate remedy for all age groups.
After the chaos of 2020 we all need to take a moment to reflect, relax and rejuvenate our physical and mental health. Giving free access to that relief this Christmas is the perfect way to treat your friend or loved one. Here are five reasons why you should consider purchasing a gift voucher from The Massage Academy this holiday season:
Painful Problems
We have all had to adapt to working from home and as a result of this we have spent a vast amount of time sat down. This can have adverse effects on your back and neck depending on your posture. Massage addresses pain and stiffness by increasing circulation throughout the body, improving flexibility in our joints and relieving tight spots in our muscles. We offer a Back, Neck and Shoulder Massage option which will help with your recently adapted lifestyle.
Stressful Situations
It’s no secret that the year 2020 has caused a huge amount of unnecessary stress! Trying to home school your children whilst answering conference calls and letting the dog out in the garden is a tricky situation. We have been overwhelmed with financial complications, furlough (word of the year) and family social distancing. Massage is a proven remedy of stress and works directly with the nervous system and lowers the heart rate, relaxes muscles and releases endorphins.
A New Experience
My favourite scenario is meeting a new client that has never had a professional massage before and would not buy a treatment for themselves. A client that has never had a massage experience before is often blown away by the feeling after completion. Their personal encounters within their body makes them feel great and we often have repeat bookings to maintain their wellbeing and health benefits.
Lift Those Spirits
Without wanting to sound like Scrooge, Christmas is not a happy celebration for everyone. There are families that struggle over the festive period with conflicts, feelings of sorrow and other tough situations can arise. Massage releases oxytocin AKA the feel-good hormone along with serotonin and dopamine. This cheeky trio are famous for promoting positivity within the body and give you feelings of pleasure, happiness and love.
Easy Gifting
Massage gift vouchers differ from your store bought Gift Cards. Buying someone a massage is not saying… “I’m out of ideas, here’s some cash for one shop.” It is showing someone that you care about their health, wellbeing and mental health. It is giving the recipient a chance to take some time to themselves and giving them a period of relaxation and remedy that they would not look to purchase themselves.
Anyone on your Christmas list will benefit! If you know someone around Wakefield that could benefit from a professional massage, why not give them a gift voucher this Christmas!
