Team Franciscan Center: Relaxation Massage!

Kristin Pitstick

Spa Manager

With 2012 in full swing, we at the Franciscan Center hope you are sticking to your resolutions. Having trouble? Here are a few good tips to help: set realistic goals, focus on one objective at a time, get a journal, share you goals with others, and reward yourself with a massage at the Day Spa! In this month’s issue, I will be talking about Relaxation massage.

As the name implies, Relaxation massage is a gentle massage where the primary goal is, you guessed it, relaxation. During a typical session, there is less emphasis placed on working out tense muscles and more on gentle gliding strokes to induce a peaceful state.

Although this is the least strenuous massage, there are still substantial benefits: improved blood circulation, stimulation of the lymphatic system, a calming effect on the nervous system, and an increased sense of well-being.

Let 2012 be the best year of your life -
