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.
