Exams, deadlines and the pressure to get it all right: exam periods drain your energy. Massage helps you get out of your head and back into your body.
An exam period does something to your body that you often only notice once it’s over. Days spent hunched over your laptop or books, lack of sleep, and a mind that keeps going even in bed. The tension builds up, literally, in your neck and shoulders.
Long periods of sitting, hunched over a screen or book, build up tension in the neck, shoulders and upper back. Add the mental side: stress keeps the nervous system in a constant state of alertness, which makes concentrating harder and disrupts sleep, right when you need it most.
A relaxation massage releases built-up tension in the neck and shoulders and signals to your nervous system that it’s okay to calm down. Many students notice they can think more clearly after a session and sleep more deeply that night, exactly what you need right before or between exams.
At Masseur Joost in Hoofddorp, every treatment is tailored during a short intake to whatever is bothering you most at that moment.
A treatment takes 55 minutes and costs €60. The practice is located at Crommelinbaan 29H in Hoofddorp, with free parking. Also suitable as a short reset between exams. Book via WhatsApp or the online booking system.
