WHAT IS MASSAGE THERAPY?
Massage is the manipulation of soft tissue structures of the body.
It promotes health and wellness by preventing and alleviating pain,
discomfort, muscle spasm and stress. During massage therapy, a
practitioner applies manual techniques to positively affect the health
and well-being of the client.
HOW MASSAGE THERAPY WORKS?
Massage
is a time-honored philosophy. People of the ancient Mediterranean
and Eastern civilizations understood the benefits of massage; after bathing and
exercise they included a full body massage.
Massage
therapy improves function of the circulatory, lymphatic, muscular,
skeletal and nervous systems. The direct effect of rhythmically applied
manual pressure and movement used in massage can dramatically increase
the rate of blood flow and the movement of lymph. The individual cells
of the body are dependent on an abundant supply of blood and lymph
because they carry nutrients and oxygen throughout the body.
Massage
also has a direct psychological effect. Since massage stimulates the
sense of touch, the body's primary sense, it draws people into the
moment and away from tension of everyday problems. Muscle tension is
the physical result of protecting one's self against psychological
pain. Massage can ease this tension and free repressed emotions.
