About
Massage
Massage
is the use of hands, or mechanical means , to manipulate the soft tissues of the body, particularly muscles. It can be used
for relaxation, stimulation or rehabilitation of the whole body or part of it. It promotes suppleness of the muscles, improves
circulation and reduces stress, aids digestion , waste removal and neural communication, promotes cell regeneration.
There
are a number of different massaging techniques ; Efflourage, a generally gentle sweeping stroke which introduces the body
to touch and relaxes the client. Petrissage ; this stroke is used to manipulate tissues and muscles and is a firmer kneading
or rubbing stroke with pressure. Friction ; these moves focus on a particular problem area and can be used for loosening tightness
around joints etc, as it heats up the area and promotes lymphatic drainage and improved circulation.
Percussion;
these are invigorating and stimulating strokes which use the hands to strike the body rapidy and suddenly. They help to improve
muscle tone , break up fat
deposits
in fleshy areas , and invigorate the nerves.
History
of Massage
The
use of massage has been recorded in China
from 3000 BC. The ancient Chinese called their technique "amma" and used specific movements on particular points of the body.
It was used for the promotion and restoration of health as well as for relaxation. The Japanese also used the amma technique
, and in India massage has been used as a traditional part
of Ayurvedic medicine. Many different cultures have massage depicted in their history, but the modern technique was developed
by Per Henrik Ling in the early 1800's. It is a well reputed and established form of rehabilitation and a natural and effective
way to treat both physical conditions and psychological problems.
What
will happen during a Massage?
You will
discuss, what outcome you want from the massage treatment, ie do you want to feel relaxed, or would you like to feel invigorated.
Details will be taken of you current health status to determine whether there could be any contra-indication to the treatment.
You may choose to have the whole body massage, ie back, front & back of legs, arms and abdomen, or you may just choose
to have a combination of any just mentioned. You will be asked only to remove clothing from the area which is involved in
the treatment , and relax on the therapy couch. We begin the treatment by first spreading the oil , then will commence
the massaging using correct pressure in accordance with the client. It is not unusual to become very relaxed and even fall
asleep during the massage, which indicates that the body has begun to start to rejuvenate itself. The session will last
between 30mins and 1 hour depending on how many areas are being treated, the client will be advised to drink plenty of water
following treatment to detoxify the systems.
