VACATION!!!! Something many take months to plan, even years of preparation and saving. You want your vacation to be perfect, to go as planned and most all you want to be relaxed and stressed free. Its no secret that planning a vacation is not easy. It can be very stressful. The planning, packing, making sure all is well at home and at the office etc. Then you have the flights! Depending on where you are coming from you may take hours on a cramped plane, even days for some.

Why Do I Need A Massage On Vacation?

Massage is a great stress reliever. All the planning and the lifting of heavy bags or small kids at the airport, your muscles will definitely need some attention. When ever I travel I carry all of my tension in my upper shoulders from lifting bags and just the stress of traveling and also in my legs and feet from alot of walking. It is really hard to focus with tense shoulders and achy feet on vacation. This leads to the next question:

When Should I Get A Massage When On A Vacation?

Vacations are expensive. You want to enjoy every moment and to relax as much as possible. You want to get your moneys worth. When coming to Great Exuma Bahamas you come to enjoy sun, sand and most of all our beautiful waters. To enjoy all the tours and acttractions on the Island you want to be relaxed. Exuma Healing Hands Massage suggest you get a massage right away. If your flight arrive in Exuma Bahamas midday or early evening, after checking into your room or home, there would not be much to do for the day is almost over. Get the massage out of the way. You are tired, muscles are aching and you just want to relax. Just do it! You will sleep like a baby and a massage is a great way to take your mind of the travel.You will have the next day to start fresh.

In my experience, many visitors come on the evening flight. Definitely too late to get a massage. You will probably be hungry and want to get something to eat and get settled in instead. I suggest you book your massage for the next morning. Its a great way to start the day and you will still have the whole day to be outdoors and to do plenty of beaching.

If you are boaters and you are coming to the island to do plenty boating, fishing and tours, I suggest you get at least two massages. The first one will be to get you settled in and the last one will definitely be to ease those aching muscles from the bumpy boat ride (It is not always smooth) and to relax those swimmers muscles. Not to mention those achy feet from walking on our long sandy beaches.

If you are coming just to relax, relax, relax, then the choice is yours. Anytime of the day will be perfect for you, however, I still recommend to making a massage one of the first things you do when you get to Exuma Bahamas. Exuma Healing Hands Massage is here for you. Put your achy feet in my hands, I definitely know what to do with it.

Secure your spot before you get here. I can start as early as 7:30am and if you want a couples massage please let me know so that i can ensure another therapist is available. Visit my website for a list of services or more information www.exumahealinghandsmassage.com or email me at [email protected] you can also call me direct on 242-524-4274 Thank you so much for reading.

I hope to pamper you shortly.

For many, massages are a treat but do you know that massages are great for your overall health and well being? In this blog today i will give you one out of many reasons not only get massages, but why you should get them on a regular basis.

STRESS!!!

Stress is apart of everyday living, whether you are stress just a little bit or overwhelmed with stress.When people feel stressed by something going on around them, their bodies react by releasing chemicals into the blood. Stress is not always bad. It can sometimes help you to keep focus and alert, but when stress is overwhelming, it can damage your mood and relationships, and lead to a host of serious mental and physical health problems. Activation of the stress response causes muscles throughout the body to tense up. When the event ends, the muscles relax. However, if stress is constant, the muscles may remain in a slightly tensed state. This may lead to joint aches and pains, headaches, chronic back pains, and other symptoms. Massage therapy may help relieve your muscle tension. A massage therapist uses various techniques to rub, stroke, stretch, and apply pressure to muscles to help them return to a relaxed state, which in turn reduce your stress-related aches and pains.

Massage Therapy also helps you to relax, calming the mind and body and relieving your stress. With great relaxation practices and regular massages, all of your problems may not go away, but at least for an hour to one and a half hour you can take your mind of everything thats bothering you and just focus on breathing and deep relaxation.Massage therapy may help with conditions that affect your state of mind, including stress, depression and anxiety. A massage helps you shift your thoughts away from everday worries and allows your body and mind to relax. Massage also helps you feel that you are in control over your health and plays an active role in managing chronic illness. Many massages are performed in a quiet dim room. Healing Hands Massage is a house call massage service and we are all about relaxation. We perfer you to choose a quiet room away from everyone in the home so that you can fully relax. We have relaxing music always and we also give you a choice of lavender essestial oil to further relax you. Since there are many different massage therapies available, it may require some trial and error to find the right therapist and massage techniques to reduce your stress level.

Ask Healing Hands Massage Services about our  Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Hot Stone Massage and which oils are best for relaxing and stress reducing.

With over 8 years of being a massage therapist and performing over 7,000 massages, i have proven that massage plays a big role in relieving stress. However, In todays blog i've gather information from The Center for Complementary and Aternative Medicine, The American Psychological Association,The National Institute of Health and Livestrong.com.

SPECIAL!!!!!!!!!!       SPECIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!     SPECIAL!!!!!!!!!!

Healing Hands Massage Services would like to show our appreciation this month of November. This is the month of Thanksgiving and we have a lot to be grateful for. We appreciate your business and would like to show our gratitude by giving every single client who book a full body massage this month a free Body Exfoliation. Yes that is correct! A free full body scrub that is valued at $60.00 will be added to your massage.

WHAT IS AN EXFOLIATION?

An exfoliation is the removal of dead skin cell on the top layer of the skin.  Proper exfoliation removes the barrier of dead skin cells clogging the skin and uncovers fresh new cells below. This open the way for moisturizing products to penetrate more deeply into the skin, which makes them more effective.

WHY IS EXFOLIATION IMPORTANT?

If you want healthy glowing skin, exfoliating on a regular is a must. As we age, the process of cell regeneration slows down. This means that the body is slower to shed skin cells and generate new ones. When old skin cells start to pile up on the surface of the skin, it can leave skin looking dull, rough, and dry. The build-up of dead skins cell can result in excessive oil clogged pores, leading to blemishes and acne.

For visitors visiting the Island of Exuma, a full body exfoliation is a must, especially  when you are  planning on pending hours in the sun. Exfoliatiion makes the skin smooth and silky, allowing your tan  to be more even and amazing.

Book your full body massage this month to recieve this free gift.
