Masssage as a healing tool has been around for thousands of years in many cultures. It is a sytem of pressing and kneading different areas of the body to relieve pain, relax, and tone the body. Touching is a natural human reaction to pain and stress, and for conveying compassion and support. Massage works on the soft tissues (muscles, tendons, and ligaments) to improve muscle tone. Its benefits reach the deeper layers of muscle and even the organs themselves, depending on the techniques used. Massage stimulates blood circulation and assists the lymphatic system, improving the elimination of waste throughout the body.
Most people feel very relaxed, some exprerience freedom from long term aches and pains. Relief as well as heightened awareness and greater productivity can last for days after the massage. Having a massage does more than just relax your body and mind - there are specific physiological and psychological changes which occur, even more so when massage is utilized as a preventative, frequent therapy and not just simply a luxury.
