How Massages Work
-
THE RELAXATION RESPONSE
Your body goes into a state in which your heart and breathing rate slow, your blood pressure goes down, your production of stress hormones decreases, and your muscles relax.
-
THE MECHANICAL RESPONSE
A massage will increase blood and lymph circulation, enhancing the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to muscle cells. As cellular health improves, tissues function more efficiently.
-
ENHANCED WELL-BEING
Touching the skin or applying pressure relaxes muscle tissue, tendons, and ligaments which reduces painful contractions and spasms. Massage can also reduce nerve compression.

More About Massages
When daily stressors leave you feeling tense and anxious, it’s important to set aside time for methods of self-care, such as a massage in River North, Chicago. During this relaxing treatment, we can target certain areas of your body to relieve tension and soreness, along with other discomforts. Massages can even be a great tool to enhance circulation, lymphatic flow, flexibility, range of motion, recovery, and immune function.
The Science of Massage Therapy
With extensive education and skill, our team breaks your massage down into a science. But before we explain, we should start with the basics. Muscle pain and dysfunction often result from muscle knots—clusters of fibers within your tissue. Factors like injury, stress, or too much time behind the desk are common causes. When we put pressure on these knots, we are actively training the muscle to unravel itself and give you relief from pain and discomfort.
Additionally, we can manually jumpstart your blood flow and lymphatic drainage using this same pressure. That’s how we encourage your immune system to work its best and fight infection. Massages are also useful for relaxing the muscles, which can prevent the formation of knots and reduce nerve compression. That’s not the only benefit, either. That calm feeling resulting from your massage can lower your heart rate and blood pressure, too.
Our massage therapists use your specific concerns, along with their knowledge, to deduce where and how they can apply pressure to your body for encouraging the best results. This means your massage is personalized, and designed as a structured method rather than solely a pampering treatment (although we like that part, too).
What to Expect
One of the advantages of a massage is you don’t have to prepare much. You can simply show up to Lume Wellness and unwind. However, we do recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing to your appointment. This can ease the process of disrobing for treatment, and help promote a more relaxed feeling.
We give your massage in River North, Chicago in a private, serene room, designed to promote complete relaxation and comfort. Our tranquil setting, combined with gentle and swift hand movements, will allow you to enjoy your massage to the fullest. We customize the massage itself to address your specific needs and concerns, ensuring a personalized and effective experience. Afterward, you can take advantage of the refreshed feeling that comes with this thorough, rejuvenating treatment.
Take Control of Your Session
If you have specific concerns you would like to address with a massage, it’s important that you let us know. Effective communication with your massage therapist is key to a successful session. Before the massage, discuss any areas of tension, pain, or certain preferences you have regarding pressure and techniques.
Injury Recovery
Massage therapy supports injury recovery by increasing blood flow to the affected area. This can help deliver essential nutrients and oxygen to your tissues. It also helps reduce muscle tension and stiffness, leading to improved mobility and less pain.
Immune Health
Massage therapy can be your secret weapon for immune health. It ramps up circulation, helping to move nutrients where they’re needed and get rid of toxins. Additionally, the stress reduction it often causes can aid in keeping your immune system in top-shape.
The Importance of Consistency
For optimal benefits, consistency with massage therapy is key. Regular sessions help maintain muscle flexibility, manage stress, and keep your body functioning smoothly. By incorporating massages into your routine, you can ensure ongoing relief from tension and discomfort while supporting your body’s overall health and wellness. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing stress, or simply looking to enhance your wellbeing, regular massages can significantly improve your quality of life.
Consistent therapy also helps your massage therapist understand your body’s needs and adjust their techniques for results that are even more effective. This personalized approach can be a great way for us to track your progress, too. Over time, the cumulative effects of consistent therapy can lead to significant improvements in muscle health, stress reduction, and overall physical comfort.
