12 Of The Best Massage Spas Within Klang Valley To Get The Pampering You Deserve

As important as it is for you to take care of your face, you need to start doing the same for your body. We tend to forget that our body tends to age faster than our faces. Therefore, proper care and protection are a must to keep your body in check. Of course, the first step of body care starts with the best retreats and reflexology treatments you could ever experience. A massage is a vital part of your body’s healing process. It activates the nervous system and helps the body move blood and lymph fluid. It can also stimulate the endocrine system and relieve stress.

Below, you can find Beauty Insider’s recommendations for the best massage spa to visit so you can get the relaxation you deserve. 

The Importance Of Body Massage

When we think of a massage spa, we tend to think there could only be one treatment available but, to our surprise, there are different types of retreats available—depending on what your body needs, of course. Deep pressure massage, light pressure massage, and muscle stretching are some of the most common treatments you can find in literally any massage spa near you. A full-body massage is totally relaxing and uplifting. 

And while massage treatments can be done for various reasons, it is commonly known for relaxing and aligning your muscles and joints. In addition to treating conditions that are usually triggered by stress, massage can also be utilised for treating various other conditions. Some of include the: 

• Increase your Dopamine and Serotonin level 
• Improve blood circulation, energy and mind awareness
• Reduce muscle pain, joint pain and tension
• Lower your blood pressure and control your heart rate 
• Improve your immune function

The Side Effects Of Massage

Despite its benefits, massage is not a substitute for regular medical care, per se. It’s still not a substitute for regular examinations and treatment plans. Some forms of massage may leave you feeling a bit stiff the next day. But it should not be considered painful or uncomfortable. Similar to yoga and certain exercise movements, you need to be very careful about how you choose to position your body. Talk to your doctors regarding your health, and if there is indeed any trauma that your body has gone through. Remember, not all massage treatments are suitable for everybody. A slight pain can impact your whole joint system, so be careful.
