Hotel Pampering

Whether you’re visiting for a few days or a few weeks, for business or a holiday, long travel times and jet lag mean there’s nothing better than a massage. One of the best ways to explore London, with all of its shopping centres, museums, and more, is on foot, so you want to soothe excess tension and feel refreshed to make the most of your trip. We will bring our massage table and everything else you need for a luxurious treatment.

 

At Bassage Body & Mind, we know that air travel or long trips by train can leave you feeling stiff and sore. Neck pillows advertised for night flights are often uncomfortable, or you are seated for hours when your body wants to move. Long flights also reduce blood and lymph flow in and out of your legs. As a result, a massage can be the perfect way to start your adventures in London. Massage therapy can restore correct muscle contraction patterns, relieve pain, stimulate blood flow and remove metabolic waste products.

 

The mental health benefits of massage are even helpful when travelling for a holiday. Massage lowers levels of cortisol, the main stress hormone that keeps us awake during the day. Jet lag is caused by your rhythms of cortisol and melatonin (the sleep hormone) being misaligned with your destination’s time zone. As a result, you’re awake at night and sleeping during the day. Booking a treatment during the afternoon may help you lower evening cortisol levels so you can sleep at night during London time. As massage can also improve cognitive function by supporting healthy brain chemistry, you may enjoy better performance if you are travelling for business or a competitive event. 

Bassage Body & Mind can help you overcome jet lag and stiffness after travelling. Contact us for further questions or to book an appointment in your hotel room.
