About Massage Therapy
Massage Therapy is not just about relaxation anymore. A massage
treatment can increase range of motion, increase circulation
while decreasing pain, and that’s just the basics. Massage
Therapy can be used for numerous conditions ranging from inflammation
to CNS disorders.
The application of massage is based on the manipulation of
soft tissues and joints. This is done by direct hand contact
on the skin of the client, either with lubricant or without.
Gliding over the surface of the body, the massage stimulates
the connective tissue to relax and lengthen or tighten and strengthen.
A massage treatment can consist of different modalities to
further treat a condition. These modalities can include myofascial
release, stretching/ strengthening exercises, or deep tissue
techniques. These modalities ensure a more effective treatment
that will decrease symptoms. The treatments can be as subtle
as sitting and listening to the body, or by using hands to move
tissues, but every treatment encourages the body to heal itself.
