What is a good massage?
Massage varies from one person to another and it is important to match the right technique for your specific need. Massage can be defined into 4 categories:
Therapeutic: including Myofascial release, deep tissue massage and joint mobilisation to help you feel balanced and pain free. This is the treatment you need if you suffer from neck and shoulder injuries, improper posture, sciatica, carpal tunnel, scoliosis, headaches, jaw grinding, rib dysfunction, hip displacement, plantar faciatis, compartment syndrome and more.
Conditioning: stretching and sport massage therapy will help you reach your maximum potential. The focus is to assist your muscles by improving your blood flow and keeping you flexible. This is how athletes maintain good form and prevent injuries.
Energetic: Shiatsu and Reiki have the potential to balance the subtle energies of your body. It helps you:
* Relax the vagal nervous system responsible for emotional stress
* Improve the operation of the ductless endocrine glands (produce hormones that determines human metabolism, growth, development, puberty, tissue function, and also plays a part in determining mood).
* Stimulate the normal functioning of your internal organs
Relaxation: Swedish massage, a smooth, flowing style that promotes general relaxation, improves circulation and range of movement, relieves muscular tension and stress.
