Four Reasons Why A Massage Voucher Makes The Best Gift

 Are you thinking about buying a massage gift voucher for someone you love?

Did you know that when you give the voucher, you are giving much more than a massage?  You are giving a stress relieving, pain reducing, skin rejuvenating, life improving gift? AMAZING ISN’T IT!

Massage is one of the oldest forms of health treatment in the world.  You can use massage to help in stress relief, pain relief and improving relaxation, and massage is appropriate for just about anyone – unless you absolutely hate human touch.

From healthy adults to seniors and pregnant women to athletes. Massage therapy is also safe and beneficial for people living with conditions including cancer, fibromyalgia and arthritis.

Here are four reasons why massage makes the perfect gift for your friends, colleagues and family:

1. THE GIFT OF STRESS RELIEF

Fast paced lives, demanding jobs with long hours and high expectations, raising children.  Stress is all too common.  Massage is the perfect gift for someone living with stress because it calms the nervous system and provides an escape from the frenzy of life.

2. THE GIFT OF PAIN REMOVAL

Active lives, work place injury and accidents.  So many people live with acute and chronic pain.  Massage is the perfect gift because it addresses pain and stiffness by increasing local circulation, improving flexibility, and ironing out sore spots in muscles.  Massage also reduces headaches and migraines, particularly those brought on by muscle tension and stress.

3. THE GIFT OF RAISED SPIRITS

Life isn’t always fun – prolonged illness or death of loved ones, tough decisions, moving house.  Massage makes an ideal gift because it can boost the mood. Massage decreases cortisol (stress hormone) production and increases release of oxytocin (hormone of trust and bonding) as well as stimulating the release of serotonin and dopamine (important for sleep).

4. THE GIFT OF SELF INDULGENCE

Some people are beautiful givers.  They give of him or herself every day with no expectation of thanks or reward?  A parent, a tradie perhaps a volunteer? People who give rarely take time out for themselves.  Massage is a time for a giver to take time out and let someone look after them for a change.

DRESSING UP YOUR GIFT VOUCHER

Make your gift certificate special by slipping it in a gift basket containing other gifts like essential oils, bath products, candles, or even a small stuffed animal.
