 Massage is the therapeutic manipulation of
the soft tissues of the body. It is a powerful
science that has been used for centuries as
an integral part of the healing process. Massage
provides health-related benefits that affect
the musculoskeletal, circulatory, lymphatic
and nervous systems of the body. Bodywork modalities
help to improve muscle tone, enhance flexibility
and circulation, and relieve the stress and
tensions associated with everyday living. Massage
and Bodywork Therapies available include:
- A
deep tissue massage in which fingers are used
to kneed muscles. This increases blood flow
and releases pain and tension at specific trigger
points.
- A
massage designed to reduce potential injuries,
enhance performance, alleviate inflammation
and promote healing following an injury.
- A
massage that relaxes muscles, and eases aches
and pains by increasing body fluid circulation.
This is the most widely used form of massage.
- A gentle touch massage
with rhythmic rocking movements. This relaxes
the mind and body, thus helping to release
physical and mental patterns, initiating
a deep state of relaxation.
- The manipulation
of specific areas of the feet and hands to
stimulate corresponding tissues and organs
in the body, thereby promoting healing.
