Therapeutic
Massage
Massage
is one of the oldest, simplest forms of therapy, using stroking,
pressing and kneading areas of the body to relieve pain, relax,
stimulate, and tone the body. Massage does much more than create
a pleasant sensation on the skin; it also works on the soft
tissues (the muscles, tendons, and ligaments) to improve muscle
tone. Although it largely affects those muscles just under the
skin, its benefits can also reach the deeper layers of muscle
and the organs themselves. Massage also stimulates blood circulation
and assists the lymphatic system, which runs parallel to the
circulatory system, improving the elimination of waste throughout
the body.
Although
a single massage will be enjoyable, the effects of massage are
cumulative, and a series of massage treatments will bring the
greatest benefit.
Regular
massage can have the effect of strengthening and toning the
entire body mechanism, thus helping prevent unnecessary strains
and injuries that might otherwise occur due to excess tension
and any resulting structural weaknesses.
Massage
can stimulate or calm the nervous system, depending upon what
is required by the individual, thus helping reduce fatigue and
leaving the client with a feeling of replenished energy. At
its best, massage has the potential to restore the individual
physically, mentally, and spiritually.
