They provide an opportunity for moms to relax, unwind, and recharge, leaving them feeling refreshed and recharged.

An Escape from Everyday Stress:

Motherhood can be overwhelming at times, and moms deserve a break from their everyday responsibilities. A spa treatment provides an escape from the stresses of daily life. It’s a chance for moms to step away from their busy schedules, phones, and to-do lists, and immerse themselves in a tranquil and serene environment. The soothing ambiance of spas will transport moms to a world of tranquility and peace, allowing them to forget their worries and enjoy a moment of blissful relaxation.

Why Should You Get a Sports Massage Before or After Your Running Race in Orlando?

By Leave a Comment

An athletic massage boosts your running performance and recovery time

Are you gearing up for a running race in Orlando, Florida? Whether you’re a seasoned marathon runner or just starting out with your first 5K, it’s important to take care of your body before and after the race. One way to do that is through an athletic or sports massage. 

What is an Athletic or Sports Massage?

Let’s define athletic massage and sports massage. These are both types of massage therapy that focus on the specific needs of athletes and active individuals. They involve deep-tissue massage techniques and may also incorporate stretching and other therapeutic modalities. The goal of these massages is to help prevent injuries, reduce muscle soreness and tension, and improve overall performance.

Why should you get a sports massage after your race?

One of the biggest benefits of getting a sports massage after a race is that it can help speed up your recovery. Running can take a toll on your muscles, causing micro-tears and inflammation. A sports massage can increase blood flow to these areas, which helps to flush out toxins and reduce inflammation. This can help your muscles heal more quickly and reduce soreness and stiffness.

Why should you get a sports massage before your race?

A sports massage can help prevent injuries. Regular massage sessions can help identify areas of muscle tension or imbalances that may lead to injury over time. By addressing these issues early on, you can help prevent more serious injuries from occurring down the road. In addition, a sports massage can help improve your overall performance. By reducing muscle tension and improving your range of motion, you may find that you’re able to run faster and more efficiently. Lastly, regular massage sessions can help you stay more in tune with your body and identify areas that need extra attention during your training.

Visit MBody Therapy for your Sports Massage

If you’re a regular runner local to Orlando or visiting to participate in a running race, we would love to enhance your running experience with either a before or after race sports massage. A recent customer had the following feedback after his Sports Massage: “My experience here (sports massage) was phenomenal! Short term the massage was painful so prepare yourself for that if ya got kinks and pressure points that need work but oh. my. god. I feel absolutely amazing post-massage, and so much more flexible after Judy worked on me. She literally has magic hands; spots I didn’t even know were trouble were found and resolved! M Body Therapy as a whole was wonderful and I will certainly be back to discover more of what they offer.” RP

In conclusion, athletic and sports massages can be a valuable tool for runners and athletes alike. By helping to reduce muscle soreness, speed up recovery time, prevent injuries, and increase flexibility, it’s a great way to take care of your body and improve your overall performance. So why not book a sports massage and see for yourself the difference?

 

Top 5 Recommended Orlando Attractions for Adults

By Leave a Comment

We get it! It’s the season to hit Orlando Parks. But after all the fun and running around the parks with kids, we adults, deserve some quality time too. 

We’ve come up with a list of 5 things to do in Orlando, Florida for adults:

Golf – after all the music, rides, and chaos of the parks, going golfing can be a well-needed escape. Luckily, Orlando is a golfer’s paradise with over 170 golf courses to choose from. Some popular options near Disney and Universal are  Orange Tree Golf Club, Bay Hill Club and Lodge, and Shingle Creek Golf Club.

A Good Massage – Unwind and relax for a few hours at our spa. Whether you want a gentle touch facial, a full body Swedish massage, or you want your muscles really worked on with a deep tissue massage, Mbody Therapy has plenty of choices. With almost 100% 5-star reviews, you’re sure to walk out a happy customer. Check out your options on our spa booking page.

A Niche Restaurant – everyone has to eat and we love finding niche restaurants that are not part of a big restaurant chain. They also happen to be our neighbors. We’d like to recommend Boil Spot Hot Pot & BBQ, a local All You Can Eat Hot Pot and BBQ buffet experience in Orlando. 

Shopping – While the parks are fun, some people need a true shopping experience to feel joyous. And if you can get a great deal, even better. Orlando has some of the best shopping in Florida, especially the outlet malls that include great prices and a selection. You can hit everyone’s needs in one go. The closest outlets to us are the Orlando Vinelands Premium Outlet or The Orlando International Premium Outlets. If you prefer an indoor experience, excellent malls are the Florida Mall and Millenia Mall. 

Food Tours – If you are a foody and want to invest a few hours in a culinary experience, taking a food tour in the City of Orlando is a great way to try some of the delicious cuisines the city has to offer. Our recommended food tours are: The wandering Palm Food Tour, Original Orlando Tours, and Flavors of Winter Park Foodie Walking Tour. All three received raving reviews and we believe you’ll enjoy them too.

We hope you enjoy the City of Orlando and find some time to invest in attractions for adults. You deserve your own type of fun too.

8 Top Treatments for Women at MBody Therapy 

  1. Deep Tissue Massage – One of the oldest techniques of massage aimed to break up scar tissue and break down muscle adhesions (knots). At Mbody Therapy, the technique is done by a team with many years of experience.

This kind of massage is for women that enjoy a deeper (and slightly painful) experience.  

  2. Swedish Massage – One of the most well-known massages, also known as the classic massage, includes a gentle and soothing touch. The Swedish massage focuses on muscle relaxation while increasing blood circulation. If you are the type that likes a more gentle touch, this massage is for you. At our Spa, 30, 60, and 90-minute treatments are available and Hot Stone treatments are included with all services.  

  3. Couples Massage – Come in with a bestie and get a couples massage for both of you. Some experiences are better together. We believe you and your friend will truly enjoy yourselves in a couples massage. 30, 60, and 90-minute treatments are available for couples too.

  4. Sports massage – Similar to the deep massage, the sports massage will target all your kinks and tight muscles to get you back to your normal self. If you are the athletic type, this massage is certainly for you. An hour and 90-minute session is available for this specialty massage.

  5. Tuina Massage – If you’d like to change course from your usual massage, try this is is an ancient Chinese technique. The treatment is an intensive full-body massage using an ancient Chinese style that has proven long-term health benefits. Available as 60 and 90-minute massage.

  6. Specialty Massage – If you only have 30 free minutes in your day, take advantage of our specialty massage. 30 minutes in which you pick the location to focus whether it’s the Head/Neck, Shoulder/Arms, Leg/Feet, or something else, and we’ll focus just on that for 30 minutes. This is a great solution for women who want to pamper themselves but don’t have much free time.

  7. Facial Mini – From a short refreshing service to a full-service package you will relax in a quiet environment with a professional therapist. The facial mini is available for 30 minutes or a full hour. This is a great way to refresh your headspace and come out like new.

  3. Visit the Kennedy Space Center
    If you love space exploration, there is no wrong time to visit Kennedy Space Center. If you love space exploration but don’t have the budget to go visit, keep up to date with Rocket Launches and their schedule and simply look up to the sky in the right direction and you’ll be able to view a Rocket Launch from anywhere in Orlando. Add to it a picnic and you’re all set for a romantic date.
  4. Enjoy a Wine Tasting or Wine Tour
    A great way to celebrate love is to go on a wine tour or wine-tasting adventure. A place we highly recommend is the Lakeridge Winery & Vineyards.
  5. Take a Hot Air Balloon Ride Over Orlando’s Countryside
     An adventurous and high-end way to show love is by enjoying a hot air balloon ride over Orlando’s countryside. Check out a few recommended Hot Air Balloon rides over at TripAdvisor.

What are the advantages of a deep tissue massage?

By Leave a Comment

There Are Many Advantages to a Deep Tissue Massage:

 

Realigns Deeper Layers

A deep tissue massage is a form of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, low back tightness, and sore shoulders.

Relieves Chronic Muscle Tension

One of the main advantages of a deep tissue massage is that it relieves chronic muscle tension and pain. The massage works by breaking down and realigning the fibrous bands of tissue (adhesions) that can cause pain and restrict movement. By releasing these adhesions, flexibility, and range of motion improves, alleviating pain.

Improves Circulation and Flushes Toxins

A deep tissue massage improves circulation and helps to flush away toxins that can accumulate in the muscles. This helps to reduce inflammation and swelling, which further improves overall muscle function and reduces pain.

Improves Posture

Deep tissue massage can also help to improve posture and alignment by releasing tension in the muscles and fascia (the connective tissue that surrounds muscles and organs). This can help to improve overall body mechanics and reduce the risk of injury.

Reduces Stress and Tension

Deep tissue massage is helpful in reducing stress and tension, which has a positive effect on overall health and well-being. The deep pressure and slow strokes of the massage have a calming effect on the nervous system, which helps reduce anxiety, depression, and insomnia.

To Summarize, Deep Tissue Massage Has Many Benefits

Overall, deep tissue massage is an effective and therapeutic form of massage therapy that helps to alleviate pain, improve muscle function, and reduce stress. If you are experiencing chronic muscle tension or pain, or if you are looking for a way to improve overall health and well-being, deep tissue massage may be an excellent option for you.
