Massage has the power to carry a stressed mind into a realm of bliss. The simple art of rubbing and kneading tired muscles offers a respite, a sanctuary where tension disappears and body and mind find harmony again. Massages in Tenerife can be booked to relieve the burdens of daily life, to treat the symptoms of chronic pain, or 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 the ancient Egyptian, Chinese, Roman and Greek civilisations, massage was a holistic practice revered for preventing and curing illness. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, massage is an essential method for balancing the body’s basic energy, known as Qi. Those ancient teachings have been passed down through time to form the basis of what we now recognise as modern massage therapy.

Benefits of massage
Beyond releasing stress and tension stored in the body, massage therapy brings many benefits. The list is long; these are our favourites:
- Improved circulation — massage, whatever the style, promotes better blood circulation, which helps oxygen and nutrients reach the cells and supports the elimination of toxins and waste.
- A stronger immune system — massage increases the production of white blood cells, which play a crucial role in the body’s defence against illness and disease.
- Better sleep — during a massage the body enters a deep state of relaxation that lowers stress levels, improving the quality and length of sleep and helping with disorders such as insomnia and restless leg syndrome.
- Fewer symptoms of anxiety — people living with depression and anxiety benefit from massage, as it promotes the release of endorphins, serotonin and dopamine, the neurotransmitters associated with happiness and relaxation.
