Therapeutic
Massage
What
is
therapeutic massage?
In
therapeutic massage, the massage practitioner uses a series of soothing
and invigorating movements put together in a sequence designed for
you. The movements include stroking, stretching, kneading, percussion,
compression, and so on.
The strokes are applied to the skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments
and fascia, mostly using the practitioner's hands, forearm and elbow.
What
are the benefits?
Massage helps relieve stress and encourages
relaxation and can leave you feeling energized. It reduces aches,
pains and stiffness; relaxes and lengthens tight muscles, allowing
the body to re-align itself.
It has an effect on all the functions of the body - improving circulation
and effecting the nervous system which releases endorphins and opiates,
the body's natural relaxants and painkillers.
What
can you expect from a treatment?
The first treatment includes a consultation during which
you will discuss your health and medical history and what you are
hoping to get out of a massage.
You and your practitioner will then design a treatment to suit you.
Any information is treated as strictly confidential.
If it is appropriate, you will remove relevant clothing and lie on
a massage table and you will be covered with towels.
The practitioner will use an oil on your skin. You should feel free
to give feedback to your practitioner at any time during your treatment.
