What is massage therapy? Massage therapy is the manipulation of soft tissue for therapeutic purposes and may include but is not limited to, effeurage, petrissage, tapotement, compression vibration, friction, nerve strokes and over Swedish movements, either by hand or with a mechanical or electrical apparatus for the purpose of body massage. This may include the use of oil, salt glows, hot and cold packs and other recognized forms of MASSAGE THERAPY.
FACE
The average person carries a large amount of tension in the muscles of the face. Temproman-dibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJ) a condition involving the masseter muscle in the jaw, thought to be one of the causes of migraine headaches can be addressed with massage therapy.
ABDOMEN
Massage acts as a mechanical cleanser pushing along wastes and accumulated toxins and replacing them with fresh blood and oxygenation of the tissues.
FEET
One of the most neglected areas the feet respond to increased circulatory flow and flexibility induced by the soft tissue manipulations of therapeutic massage.
NECK & SHOULDERS
Relief from chronic tightness in the neck and shoulder area caused by stress, poor posture and job related functions.
LOWER BACK
Therapeutic massage applied to the lower back and spine brings relief from stiff, aching muscles attributed to weak tone of the abdominal muscles, muscle strains and muscle imbalances in the pelvic region.
LEGS
Tired legs with muscle cramps and “nervous” twitching are aided by the increased circulation. Athletes, in training appreciate the shortened recovery time brought about by massage therapy.
CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
Massage increases the blood supply and nutrition to muscles without adding to their load of toxic lactic acid, produced through a voluntary muscle contraction. Massage thus helps to overcome harmful “fatigue” products resulting from strenuous exercise or injury. Massage can compensate, at least in part, for lack of exercise and muscular contraction in persons who because of injury, illness or age are forced to remain inactive. In these cases, massage helps return venous blood to the heart and so eases the strain on this vital organ.
Therapeutic massage has a tranquilizing effect on the central nervous system. The effects are naturally induced by the body’s own pain killers called endorphins. This is a direct aid in dealing with over stressed lifestyles present in our society.
