Although some are living for the weekend, there are many that have found the secret to squeezing in a little rest and relaxation 7 days a week. Why condense all your free time into 2 days, when you can relax, glow and renew daily at Planet Beach.  There is nothing better than a relaxing massage at the end of a long, hard work day. However, there is a common misconception that massages are meant only as a luxury “feel-good” service. The truth is that almost anyone can benefit from a good massage, and the benefits are more than skin-deep! Here are 3 whole-body benefits of getting regular massages:

1. Improves energy and alertness. Even just a 15-minute chair massage has been shown to improve alertness in studies by the Touch Research Institute.

2. Improves immune function. If you are looking for ways to boost your immune system, look no further than your nearest spa! There are multiple studies linked to massages and boosted immunity. Massages increase cortisol, a hormone that increases the activity level of your body’s T-cells that fight off viruses.

3. Improves sleep health. There’s a reason many people fall asleep during a massage! Massages increase delta waves, which are the brain waves associated with deep sleep. In addition, massages can increase levels of serotonin and dopamine, which stabilizes your mood to promote a good night’s sleep.

At Planet Beach, we have automated massages that help evoke feelings of ultimate relaxation.  Don’t live for the weekend! Stop by Planet Beach today to relax and reap the whole-body benefits of a massage.
