Massage therapy is known to decrease levels of the stress hormone cortisol and increase the production of "relaxing hormones" such as oxytocin in men and serotonin in women.
"We notice an increase in the number of people visiting our spas around Valentine's Day because they want to treat themselves or their significant other to a relaxing massage experience," says Eugenia Tzoannopoulos, Regional Developer Massage Envy Spa for Connecticut, Rhode Island, Westchester County New York, and Bristol County, Massachusetts.
"Massage is the perfect gift. By including massage therapy in your wellness plan, it can boost your mood and benefit your body," added Dina Begetis, Regional Developer.
A shared massage experience is another way to strengthen the bonds between couples. More couples have become interested in Massage Envy Spa's Couples Massage because it allows them to share the experience with a loving partner.
