Massage For Men in York – Relaxation is Good For Male Clients

Picture of man being massaged.Here at Relaxing Massage in York we specialise in giving a great man’s massage which will include a super back massage for men. Also we have a special offer price for men over 60 years of age which means you can get a great discount on 1 hour treatments here. More people are getting massage treatment as it becomes more accepted as a good complementary therapy that works. However, men don’t get as many massages as women do. Men should be getting more massages to lower high blood pressure which they are prone to. There are many clinical studies that prove this treatment for men can help with hypertension and simply help them to relax. It is time for men to appreciate the benefits and partake of this soothing, relaxation therapy. To put your mind at rest further, we have even produced a guide to men’s massage etiquette.

We Understand Male Physique - Men Are Our Speciality

Photo a happy male manager after his massage.Massaging men is a specialty here for our male massage therapist Kevin. We fully understand what men like during a treatment, how to fully relax you and the benefits massage brings you. It is an area that many local spas do seem to shy away from, even in today’s modern world. I have heard local masseurs say “Sorry we don’t treat men here.” and “Men don’t come often enough for us to train up our staff for them.” This is very much NOT the case here at Relaxing Massage York. Male clients are always very welcome and can benefit from our thorough understanding of the larger male physique. Fully trained and experienced staff are always going to be aiming to give you guys the perfect massage. Call or text 07979 814388 today to book your treatment.

As Massage Therapy Grows Men Don't Get As Many - Why?

Picture of man getting a soothing, relaxing back massage.AMTA (2001) tells us there are twice the number of people receiving massage therapy in 2001 (16% of those surveyed) than in 1997 (8%). Today this figure has risen further with surveys telling us 19% of adult Americans have had a massage.

However men don’t go as often for massage as women do. AMTA (2001) say 18% of females said they went for a massage treatment. This is compared to only 13% of men saying they had done so. These figures for men didn’t improved much in 2017 when 21% of women and only 16% of the men surveyed said they had a massage in the previous year.

The lack of men getting what is a fabulous complementary treatment could be down to a number of reasons. One of these reasons might be the way men perceive massage as unmanly. This is a very outdated view that has no grounds at all. Getting a massage is just as manly as going to the gym. In fact if you ask any professional sportsman (a very masculine group indeed), you will find they go for regular massages to help them perform better and recover faster. You should allow yourself some time for yourself by getting these treatments and benefits too.

Read the Proof - Men Can Get Benefits From Treatment

Chubby Man getting a massageMen should be going for treatments more often for specific issues like high blood pressure. Many studies like that of Reckelhoff J (2001) have found men suffer from high blood pressure more than pre-menopausal women of the same age. In fact Maric-Bilkan C (2012) goes on to say that Androgen (a male sex hormone) can explain this difference.

Numerous studies have proven that massage lowers blood pressure. Mohebbi Z et al (2014) showed a drop in blood pressure after therapeutic massage had taken place. Indeed this was proven further though when Skoog M et al (2005) did a study of healthy males being given massage at Karolinska Hospital in Stockholm. Conclusions drawn here said those suffering from hypertension caused by stress should try this complementary therapy. Also Cambron J et al (2006) showed that systolic blood pressure decreased more after therapeutic Swedish massage compared to other types of massage treatment.

Men Should and Can Go For Specialist Treatments Here

In conclusion men can and should go for more massages. It is a manly thing that sportsmen do regularly because of it benefits. Swedish massage is the most relaxing type of treatment and very good for men. It is proven to help with the problems men suffer with like high blood pressure.

Aftercare Advice Can Make The Overall Feeling of Wellbeing Last

picture of path through woods at the begining of autumnAfter your massage we offer some simple, holistic advice to you. If you keep to this path as set out here, the aims should become a clear reality. The aims of this advice are to make sure your treatment and its good after effects are as fabulous as is possible. Also we want the good feelings to last as long as possible. So, here is how to have this happen for you!

Every person is different. This means every person will be affected differently by a massage treatment. After your massage you should feel a pleasant, overall feeling of wellbeing. This is one of the major benefits of treatment. Simply enjoy it.

However, there is a small chance you may experience mild side effects (contra-actions). Please don’t worry about this it is perfectly natural. Toxins (used fluids like deoxygenated blood and lymph) in your body are literally being pushed through your system, then being filtered out and replaced more quickly than usual. Any contra-actions should be gone in a short while.

What is certain is that we are aiding your body to heal itself with this treatment. To help you further in the healing process afterwards, please consider these guidelines as good things to do. They will help you to feel even better in yourself, for a longer period of time.

After Your Massage

  • Drink a glass of water. Water will help your body to flush out toxins.
  • Avoid alcohol, caffeine and nicotine for 24 hours. We are trying to detoxify your body. These substances won’t help you do that.
  • Make your next meal a light meal. Eating heavy meals takes energy to digest. Your body is busy cleaning toxins and needs energy for this.
  • Use your energy wisely for the next 24 hours. Try to avoid strenuous exercise.
  • Relax. Make time for yourself. Use breathing exercises and or mindfulness (mindful meditation) to aid this.
  • Avoid showering for a while. The oils used will nourish your skin.
  • Rest your body to aid the healing and cleansing processes.

General Lifestyle Advice

  • Do regular exercise.
  • Enjoy every moment that you can.
  • Eat less sugar and sugary foods.
  • Eat more fruit and vegetables.
  • Smile more often. Smiles are infectious. They make the world a happier place.

Benefits of Getting Massage Therapy

picture of man enjoying a blissful relaxing massageA professional massage treatment here offers you several benefits before, during and after therapy.  Before your massage, you may feel a little nervous or unsure of what to expect. Men are particularly prone to this nervousness because they don’t often strip off the first time they meet another man. However, you are greeted warmly and welcomed into the relaxation room to put you at ease. Soothing, dimmed light and gentle, relaxing music will also help to calm your nerves. Everybody likes this environment but, guys will find it more beneficial if they just let go and indulge in it. Once the treatment begins, you’ll quickly start to feel the benefits beginning with slow, deep, relaxing breaths. Massage can help relieve muscle tension, reduce stress and anxiety, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. It can also be beneficial for those with chronic pain, insomnia, or digestive issues.

Benefits You can Feel During Your Massage

During your massage, you’ll likely feel very relaxed and comfortable. Warm oil-covered hands gently stroking you all over your body tends to feel good. Men might be a little embarrassed as it feels so good and relaxing but, you deserve and bit of pampering too. Your massage therapist will work with you to make sure you are comfortable with the pressure being used in the strokes. Generally, it gentle relaxing strokes to start, deeper soothing strokes with more pressure next and back to gentle again. The aim of treatment is helping to relieve any stress or discomfort you may be feeling right here, right now, in the moment. Sounds good doesn’t it? So, why not book in and give it a try? Call now on 07979 814 388

After Your Treatment

After your massage, you should feel a sense of soothing calm and deep relaxation. Men don’t get much of this in life but, here you are allowed to feel it and really enjoy it. You may rise from the table like many with a big smile on your face and why not if you feel good, show it. You should get a feeling like your well-being has been boosted. People can feel slightly lightheaded or even euphoric after a massage treatment. This is completely normal. Feeling this good comes with the territory.  Your muscles will feel relaxed and perhaps a bit like jelly at first. This will pass as you start to move around a bit and get dressed. Some clients have likened this beneficial feeling to a meditative, healing trance. Although after an hour you will not want your treatment to end, it must eventually. 1 hour often goes much too fast clients tell me and this is why I recommend 1.5 hours.

Benefits After: What to Expect

Overall, massage treatment can leave you feeling rejuvenated, refreshed, and ready to take on the day. You may feel light on your feet, floating like a feather.  It’s a great way to treat yourself to some much-needed relaxation and self-care. After your massage, it is important to take it easy for a little while and give your body some time to adjust. You may feel slightly lightheaded which is perfectly normal. Take your time getting up from the massage table and take deep breaths to help ground yourself. In addition to feeling relaxed, many people experience an uplift in their well-being afterwards. This is because massage can stimulate the release of endorphins, which are natural mood boosters. You can feel happier, more centred, and less stressed after your massage. You can get all of this for just 1 hour or I recommend 1.5 hours of your time. Call 07979 814 388 to book your appointment to bliss out today.

Post-Massage Care and Self-Care Tips

Big smile with watermelon very happy at feeling goodTo extend the benefits of your massage treatment, try to take it easy for the rest of the day. Avoid any strenuous activity or heavy lifting and give yourself time to rest and relax. You may also want to try some self-care practices like taking a warm bath, doing some gentle stretching, or practising deep breathing exercises.

It’s also important to drink plenty of water after your massage. Fluids have been brought to the surface and pushed through the body to clean them and they need replacing. You should also avoid alcohol and caffeine for at least a few hours after your massage, as these can interfere with the benefits of the treatment. Eat light, healthy foods for your next meal. Lastly, whatever happens try to put your feet up and relax to really enjoy that overall feeling of well-being you are likely to have after treatment. Lastly, go on, smile. If you feel good so why not show that to the people around you?
