In a world dominated by deadlines, screen time and busy diaries, it’s more important than ever to make time for regular relaxation breaks. Not just for your body, but for your mind too. Luckily, there is a simple and enjoyable way to lower your stress levels considerably: a massage. With a Thermae Grimbergen massage, you will notice a difference after just one session. What’s more, studies have shown that having a massage can lower the stress hormone cortisol by as much as 30%.

Long-term stress can cause all kinds of complaints: tense muscles, headaches, poor sleep and irritability. When you are stressed, your body produces more cortisol, aka the stress hormone. It helps you stay alert but long-term exposure can disrupt your body’s balance.
A massage has a direct effect on your stress response. It lowers cortisol, calms your nervous system and helps your body restore itself.
A massage at Thermae Grimbergen is much more than pure relaxation. While our therapist loosens up the tension in your muscles with gentle, targeted techniques, all kinds of things happen in your body.
- Cortisol is lowered, so you feel calmer.
- Serotonin and dopamine increase, which improves your mood.
- Neck, shoulder and back tension disappears.
- Your breathing slows, which instantly calms your mind.
- Your sleep improves, even after just one session.
Having regular massages can lower your stress levels immensely and increase your resilience.
