The Scratch Spa - Arcadia

We use Scratch Therapy, a type of therapeutic touch that uses light scratching and tracing movements with the tips of the nails to improve overall mood & decrease stress/anxiety. It is extremely therapeutic and very beneficial in calming the nervous system. Gentle scratching releases endorphins and triggers ASMR (tingling feeling in your brain) sending positive neurotransmitters in the body, similar to that of morphine. Endorphins are released into the bloodstream, immediately improving your mood. This is why a back scratch feels so good! Scratch Therapy helps with many mental health issues such as depression, anxiety & PTSD because it regulates your nervous system and is a deeper relaxation than a traditional massage.
