SNEEK-Recently, sports masseur Elma den Heijer has settled in Sneek at Hegedyk 2. With her years of experience, Elma den Heijer can contribute to responsible and healthy sports. We live in hectic times with a lot of tension and almost everyone is busy with health, nutrition and exercise. A massage can support this well. Because research by Dr. Mark Rapaport shows that a regular massage has a lasting positive effect on health. Massage has a slew of benefits, including relieving symptoms of depression, anxiety, back pain, asthma, fatigue, and even HIV.
Vision of Elma den Heijer
In our daily activities and movements we can be quite hindered if mind and body do not do what we want. Elma den Heyer: “Stress, tension from a hectic job and/or family can make it difficult to relax. This can cause muscles to tighten and fatigue. This hinders us in our daily activities”. The condition of the muscles is improved with the help of various massage techniques.
Effect of a targeted massage
Calming or stimulating massages improve blood flow to the muscles that are most stressed and stimulate these muscles to extra metabolism so that the waste can be removed. The muscles are therefore more resistant to the great force that is exerted on them during sports and exercise. Again Elma den Heijer: “Massage gives your muscles better blood circulation and a tension discharge. This is a powerful and effective means to get rid of your stress complaints. In addition, a massage stimulates the production of endorphins and oxytocin in the body. These substances reduce stress and stimulate the feeling of happiness. Sounds almost too good to be true, but it isn’t.”
Elma den Heijer is located at Hegedyk 2, where several companies focused on health are located. There is more information on the website www.elmadenheijer.nl and is it possible to book an appointment, 24/7.
