Massage is one of the oldest, simplest forms of therapy. It combines several techniques, such as stroking, pressing and kneading, to different areas of the body to relieve pain, relax, stimulate, and tone the body. Massage does much more than create a pleasant sensation on the skin, it also works on the soft tissues(the muscles, tendons, and ligaments) to improve muscle tone. Although it largely affects those muscles just under the skin, its benefits may also reach the deeper layers of muscle and possibly even the organs themselves. Massage also stimulates blood circulation and assists the lymphatic system (which runs parallel to the circulatory system).
Although a single massage will be enjoyable, receiving regular massages can produce powerful changes in the body. Regular massage can strengthen and tone the entire body mechanism, and help to prevent unnecessary strains and injuries that might otherwise occur. Massage can stimulate or calm the nervous system, depending upon what is required by the individual, thus help reduce fatigue, leaving the receiver feeling replenished and energized. At its best, massage has the potential to restore the individual physically, mentally and spiritually.
