Massage can boost immunity, soothe anxiety and improve blood pressure; a growing body of research suggests that a rubdown is even better for you than you think. The health benefits of touch extend beyond simply soothing aches and pains. Studies have confirmed that immediately after massage the levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) were significantly lowered by 53%. High levels of the cortisol hormone alters the immune system responses and suppress the digestive system, the reproductive system and growth processes. Long-term activation of the stress-response system can alter your chance of heart disease, skin conditions, digestive problems and the list goes on! We suggest a 60min massage once every two weeks.
Emirates Golf Club is celebrating its 25th Anniversary in March 2013. Known as the ‘Desert Miracle’ when it opened in March 1998 as the first grass course in the region, the Club has gone from strength to strength winning a host of local and international awards and accolades.
Try the Knead-it intensive massage 60min/AED 390 – just as it sounds – much needed!
To commemorate this landmark occasion, we will have a host of exciting offers and promotions taking place around the Club in March. Make the most of your visit and take advantage of our special 25th anniversary offers.
