Everyone that has experienced a full body massage knows
that it fills you with a sense of peace and tranquility
which stays with you long after the massage is over.
There is also much more to massage than just it's wonderful
ability to release tension and stress. The health benefits
of massage are plentiful and by getting regular massages
your health can improve tremendously.
The need for touch is one of the basic needs for all life,
just as important as eating and drinking, and by using the
power of touch in the form of a massage, wonders can be
created, both for your body and your mind.
Some studies in Russia reveal that babies who aren't
touched enough are not nearly as healthy as other babies.
One of the great benefits of receiving massage is that your
circulation increases and blood can flow easily throughout
your body.
Increased blood flow helps your cells work more efficiently
and can be beneficial to people that are suffering with
high or low blood pressure.
Massage also aids the lymphatic system, which is a large
part of your body's immune system. (The lymphatic system
helps move mucous throughout your body and doesn't have a
pump).
A massage helps your muscles to be relaxed and loose, let
go of tension and can help improve your posture. For those
experiencing conditions such as muscle pain, back pain,
headaches, stomach pain and cramps, massage therapy can
provide a lot of relief.
For people that have problems with insomnia, massage can
make a big difference. By relieving accumulated tension and
stress, it is much easier to get the rest we need at night
so that we are able to get the most out of our awake time.
Many people today have an imbalance in their bodies
because of the stress and tension they experience in their
home and work environments.
By working with the different meridians and pressure points
in the body, the health and wellness that is our natural
state of being can be reawakened.
Since massage is such an ancient healing method, there has
been thousands of years to develop and practice the
different techniques that exists today.
We are in a very lucky age right now where we can
experience many different types of massage styles and learn
powerful techniques from all over the world.
By combining the wisdom that comes out of old traditions
with the intuitive touch and the flow in the moment, I feel
that there are no limits to what you can achieve through
massage.
