At Scape Relaxation, we believe true wellness doesn’t have to be hard-earned. It can be as simple as taking a moment to pause—supported by science, surrounded by calm, and tailored to what your body truly needs.
One of the most surprising benefits of regular massage? It’s not just about easing sore muscles—it may also help your body find its natural balance again.
Studies show that massage can lower cortisol levels by up to 31%.
Cortisol is your body’s primary stress hormone. When it stays elevated—due to daily pressure, poor sleep, or overwork - it can quietly sabotage your health:
It disrupts sleep patterns
Suppresses immune function
Slows metabolism
And often contributes to weight gain, particularly around the midsection
By helping to reduce cortisol, massage doesn’t just bring relaxation—it supports deeper sleep, better digestion, emotional balance, and even healthy weight regulation.
