Swedish
massage (relax) - The most commonly offered and best
known style of massage. Developed by Henri Peter Ling at the
University of Stockholm in 1812, it uses a firm but gentle
pressure to soothe and relax.
Therapeutic massage (maintain) - Similar
to Swedish massage but targeted more on releasing muscle stiffness
and tension than relaxation. Commonly focuses on one specific
part of the body in need of a deep treatment rather than the
whole body. Extremely effective for loosening tight muscles.
Remedial massage (cure and fix) - Involves
the use of deep tissue massage techniques such as NeuroMuscular
Technique (NMT), Positional Release Technique (PRT), Soft
Tissue Release (STR), Trigger Point Therapy (TrPT) and Integrated
Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique (INIT) to repair and re-align
muscle fibers.
Sports massage (prepare) - Perfect for professional
and amateur athletes, consists of specific massage techniques
to invigorate muscles prior to strenuous activity and afterwards
helping to remove toxins from the muscles.

Massage
isn't capable of curing any serious or life-threatening medical
disorders - but it can provide welcome relief from the symptoms
of anxiety, tension, depression, insomia, and stress, as well
as back pain, headache, muscle pain and some forms of chronic
pain.
It's also frequently recommended for
the treatment of minor sports injuries and repetitive stress
injuries and for the enhancement of physical conditioning.
Some people find that it even relieves such digestive disorders
as constipation. There are many reasons to get a massage and
here are just a few of them:
Massage decreases
stress level
Many
of us find ourselves in a constant state of hyper-alertness
as we try to respond to the stresses of day-to-day living.
Massage acts directly on the nervous system, activating the
opposite of the "fight or flight syndrome" that we are so
familiar with.
Massage relaxes painful and tight
muscles. Massage stretches and kneads tight and painful muscles,
gently separating individual fibers that may have become bound
and knotted together.
Once your muscles are relaxed you
may find that you can move more freely, breathe more deeply,
making it more likely for your muscles to remain in their
new-found flexible state.
Massage improves joint mobility and
health. Massage can help increase range of motion in your
joints by releasing muscle tension around them. In addition,
circulation is also increased in the joints - actually stimulating
the healthy production of the joint's natural lubrication.
Massage can help ease
secondary pain
Massage
can relieve secondary pain that builds up around a primary
source of pain which can even sometimes last longer than the
original cause. Headaches brought about by tense shoulder
and neck muscles, pain and tingling that travels down your
leg as a result of tight low back muscles or arthritis are
just a few examples. Massage increases vitality, energy and
alertness.
Massage increases
circulation throughout the body
This
cleanses your body of waste products that can cause fatigue
and soreness. Massage promotes restful sleep. Many people
find that massage helps with accomplishing a full night's
rest. Massage helps the body and mind relax, and it's
a great way to end a hectic day.
Massage releases your natural endorphins
that reduce pain and give feel-good factor. Is a great way
to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system and so lowering
the pulse, slowing breathing and, in general, chilling you
out. By assisting in breaking down of scar tissue & adhesions
and improved blood circulation massage speeds up the elimination
of waste products which in effect promotes healing.
It can also benefit those suffering
from PMT, menopausal symptoms, skin complaints and in respiratory
ailments, as well as being useful in the treatment of depression
and emotional traumas.
