The New Bodywork Service That's Sure To Give You Goosebumps

Have you ever experienced that tingly, euphoric feeling while someone plays with your hair or gently traces their fingertips along your back?

If so, then you’ve likely experienced Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response or ASMR.

ASMR has become increasingly popular all around the world and especially on the video sharing platform YouTube. This is likely due to its ability to reduce stress, increase relaxation, and help those who have difficulties falling asleep.

Some individuals with clinical diagnoses even report that ASMR is helpful to their insomnia, anxiety, panic disorders and/or depression, according to on-going studies and research published in the Multisensory Research journal in 2017 by Dr. Janik McErlean in the UK.

So, what is ASMR anyway?

ASMR sensations are both physical and psychological. This includes light and soothing tingles, an enjoyable static-like feeling on the skin, or waves of relaxation that generally originate in the head, neck and spine—sometimes traveling throughout the rest of the body. This euphoric tingling sensation is usually accompanied by feelings of relaxation, calmness, comfort and sleepiness.

ASMR “triggers” that produce this tingling response can be different for everyone, but they are often induced by light touch, along with certain visuals or sounds such as whispering or crackling.

If you’re someone who loves watching ASMR videos on Youtube, or you’d like to receive an incredibly relaxing, gentle bodywork service with lots of tingles and goosebumps—our in-person ASMR experiences offered exclusively at TheraKneads Wellness Center are for you!

Something important to keep in mind about ASMR: it can be very different from regular massage, as the aim is not to work out knots or increase mobility. ASMR is all about ultra-light touch that produces tingles and incredible relaxation like nothing else.

Choose from two ASMR experiences, specifically designed with the ultimate tingles and relaxation in mind:

The Cozy Fireplace ASMR Experience

Get cozy under a soft blanket as you bask in the glow of a crackling fireplace on a cool, autumn night. Drift off slowly as you receive relaxing tingles on your scalp, neck, chest, arms and legs.

The Midnight Thunderstorm ASMR Experience

Nestle in safe and warm as you are lulled to sleep by the sound of the trickling rain right outside your window. Lay back and relax as you receive relaxing tingles on your scalp, neck, chest, arms and legs.

Customize your experience by choosing additional tools you’d like to further your relaxation, including a scalp massager, fan brushes, a hair comb and more.
