A Brief Overview
| What Is Massage Therapy? |
Massage is one of the oldest, simplest forms of therapy and is a system of
stroking, pressing and kneading different 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 may also reach the
deeper layers of muscle and possibly even 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.

Some Benefits Of Massage:
The Effects Of Massage:
Although a single massage will be enjoyable, the effects of massage are
cumulative and a course of massage treatments will bring the most benefits.
Regular massage can have the effect of strengthening and toning the entire
body mechanism, and so help to 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-and thus help reduce fatigue, leaving
the receiver with a feeling of replenished energy. At its best, massage has the
potential to restore the individual physically, mentally and spiritually.
