Massage helps students

HUNDREDS of students sought expert help to relieve physical and mental anxiety during the school and university exam period.

Indooroopilly’s Rainesforest Massage and Day Spa owner Heather Raines said stressed out students were increasingly turning to massage and day spas in peak exam seasons.

“We’re seeing students hitting the books hard and experiencing major stress as a result, which can present itself in back and neck tension, headaches and lack of energy and concentration,” Ms Raines said.

“We’ve had a high number of students visit in recent weeks, seeing us as a preventative massage and relaxation destination and our therapists as stress relief managers.”

The Gap State High School’s Renee Heyer, 17, said she found massage therapy an excellent way of “increasing energy and aiding concentration”, particularly since treatments could be subsidised by student discount offers and medical rebates.
