Where to Get A Relaxing Massage in Wichita

The white fluffy robe. The smell of aromatherapy. Lounging in the relaxation room. Your phone on silent. Time for the worries of the world to melt away. I start to relax just thinking about a massage, don’t you?

Benefits of Massage

The majority of Americans get a massage for relaxation, which is great. Did you also know there are many health benefits to consider?

  • Helps with migraines
  • Reduces pain with pregnancy
  • Improves range of motion
  • Relieves arthritis and body pain
  • Improves digestion
  • Improves sleep quality
  • Lowers blood pressure
  • Reduces depression, anxiety and stress
  • Strengthens the immune system
  • Boosts energy

Most people only go a couple of times a year to get a massage. However, many massage therapists recommend monthly treatments. Whether you choose to get in and get out or soak up all the amenities, consider making massage a more regular part of your routine.

Types of Massage

While this list doesn’t cover all this options out there, here are the basics.

Swedish: Light to medium pressure

Deep Tissue: Medium to firm pressure

Hot Stone: Light to medium pressure with hot stones that deliver heat to your muscles

Prenatal: Light to medium pressure to help with those pregnancy aches and pains. You need to be 13 weeks along in order to partake.

Specialty: Varies from spa to spa. Might include more aromatherapy, an additional therapist, dry brushing, more products or other add-ons. These are usually a higher price point.
