MASSAGES
Massage is a real plus to health and well-being. It improves blood circulation, skin-softness and soothes the nervous system.
There are many beneficial effects to massages and these affect positively the whole of the muscular and organic systems.
Massages reduce muscular pains, help nutrition and oxygenation of the cells. They have effects in turn on all parts of the body. Soft, but also tonifying and energising.
Massages can only succeed if a trust relationship can be drawn between two people.
SWEDISH MASSAGE
What is a Swedish Massage?
The term "Swedish Massage" refers to a variety of techniques specifically designed to relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones, and rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart.
Swedish massage was developed in the 1700's by a Swedish doctor named Per Henrik Ling.
Purpose of Swedish Massage?
The main purpose of Swedish massage is to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles.
Swedish massage shortens recovery time from muscular strain by flushing the tissues of lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic wastes. It increases circulation without increasing heart load. It stretches the ligaments and tendons keeping them supple and pliable. Swedish Massage also stimulates the skin and nervous system and soothes the nerves themselves at the same time. It reduces stress, both emotional and physical, and is suggested in a regular program for stress management. It also has many specific medical uses.
Swedish Massage Techniques?
Swedish massage techniques include: long strokes, kneading, friction, tapping, percussion, vibration, effleurage, and shaking motions. The usually sequence of techniques are:
- Effleurage: Gliding strokes with the palms, thumbs and/or fingertips
- Petrissage: Kneading movements with the hands, thumbs and/or fingers
- Friction: Circular pressures with the palms of hands, thumbs and/or fingers
- Vibration: Oscillatory movements that shake or vibrate the body
- Percussion: Brisk hacking or tapping
- Passive and active movements: Bending and stretching
Benefits of Swedish Massage?
Swedish massage feels good, is relaxing and invigorating. It affects the nerves, muscles, glands, and circulation, while promoting health and well being.
HOT STONES MASSAGE
Stone massage is a unique connection we experience with nature,
offering a sense of profoundness and sacredness that we too often forget. It's
a deep healing and unique moment that enhances our awareness and brings us closer
to our true essence. It is the perfect treatment that is as enjoyable and healing
for the client as it is for the practitioner.
Stone massage involves the application of water-heated basalt
stones of varying sizes to key points on the body, giving a deep massage and
creating sensations of comfort and warmth. The direct heat relaxes muscles,
allowing manipulation of a greater intensity than with regular massage.
In cases of muscular injury and inflammation, frozen, cooling
marble stones are used. This creates a type of thermotherapeutic 'vascular gymnastics'
in the circulatory system to help the body detoxify and heal. The warmer stones
expand the blood vessels, pushing blood and unwanted waste materials through
the body. This has a sedative effect on the nervous system. The
cold stones cause the blood vessels to constrict, stimulating the nervous system
and drawing blood and waste products along the body.
This ensures that every cell in the body receives more oxygen and nutrients
while at the same time waste material is removed more effectively through the
corresponding increase in lymph flow. Not unlike changing the old oil and filter
in your car for a newer filter with clean oil a service for the body.
It is quite an experience to feel the deeply relaxing, penetrating
heat from the basalt stones alternating with the toning and refreshing coolness
of the marble stones. The use of extremes of temperature has long been scientifically
and medically proven to be of benefit to the body. Those who wish to relax and
tone their muscles with a minimum of effort see this in the use of ice packs
for muscle trauma and the use of saunas.
Stone massage makes you feel deeply relaxed, allowing you
to let go of all the stress that is held within your body. It is really an amazing
experience to offer to the ones you love!
Those experiencing a hot stone massage will notice a healing
improvement of the following symptoms:
- Muscular aches, pains, sprains, and strains
- Poor circulation
- Rheumatic and arthritic conditions
- Fibromyalgia
- MS
- Back pain
- Stress, anxiety and tension
- Insomnia
- Depression
- How to incorporate aromatherapy
REFLEXOLOGY
What is Reflexology Massage?
Reflexology is a gentle form of therapeutic treatment applied to the feet and sometimes to the hands. It evolved around 1913 from the work of Dr. William H. Fitzgerald, an ear, nose and throat surgeon in the United States. Reflexology is considered to be a holistic healing technique that aims to treat the individual as a whole, in order to induce a state of balance and harmony in body, mind and spirit.
Reflexology is based on the belief that there are reflex areas on the feet (and hands) corresponding to all the parts of the body including major organs. It is believed that applying pressure to specific areas on the feet, hands and ears can affect internal organs and body systems, and therefore promote good health.
The therapist stimulates and works these organs and systems through the reflexes areas on the hands and feet, applying pressure to the feet with thumb and fingers. Pressure is applied to clear out congestion and restore normal functioning and health.
Reflexology was brought to America in the early 1900's by Chinese immigrants.
Treatment Time?
A treatment usually lasts between 40 minutes and 1 hour.
Benefits of Reflexology?
Reflexology has many benefits. It feels good. It is pleasant and soothing, and it relaxes the body. Each person responds to a reflexology in a unique way and on occasions may experience a variety of short term reactions, for example, extreme relaxation, tiredness, lethargy or tearfulness. Reflexology is not a ‘cure-all’. However, it does help releive pain associated with migraine, sinus problems, breathing disorders, digestive problems, circulatory problems, back problems, tension and stress.
