Massage - The Best Therapy for the Body
The human body is like a machine. It's pushed and pulled and many different directions causing aches and pains. Massage is a method that relieves these physical discomforts and refreshes the spirit. Massage is the best therapy for overworked, exhausted bodies or to spend a little time restoring the spirit through refreshing self-indulgence. A massage is is far better than forcing the human body into further pain and discomfort.
Massage Therapy - The Surprising Way to Revitalization
No matter what type of labor an individual engages in, physical or sedentary, sooner or later the body screams for relief. Massage therapy offers the most effective way to revitalize the body. There's more to massage therapy than meets the eye. Each massage therapist is trained in several areas that include kinesiology, osteopathic manipulation of bones and pressure application.
How to Choose a Massage Therapist
The body responds to human touch in many ways. The best massage therapist is practiced in the art of pinpointing areas of the body that respond best to massage techniques. Some therapists choose to use a specific type of massage like the Bowen technique, craniosacral therapy, reflexology, Shiatsu or variations of massage therapy techniques.
The Importance of Pressure Points
Pressure is applied in four levels: light, moderate, deep or firm. Each of these offers the correct range of pressure to pressure points of the body. Light pressure works best for individuals with sensitivities to touch or those who bruise easily. Moderate pressure is generally used in most massage sessions and is found to be most beneficial to relieve aches and pains. Deep pressure is at the request of the individual with this preference. Firm pressure works to relieve chronic physical discomforts. Massage therapists should discuss the type of pressure with clients.
