What is massage therapy ?
Massage therapy has been practiced for hundreds of years by ancient civilizations, in particular by traditional Chinese medical practioners. Massage therapy has largely increased in popularity over the past years with more and more spas and health centers opening up. Although usually associated with relaxation, massage therapy offers many more benefits besides from reducing stress.
Massage therapy is a completely natural form of therapy using mostly hands, elbows and feet. It uses different techniques like kneading, brushing and applying pressure to relieve aches and pains. Massage therapy can be used to treat pain linked to the musculosketal system as well as improve overall body functions and quality of life.
A massage therapist is able to detect tensions affecting your body due to shock or a fall, fatigue, poor posture, etc. With massage therapy these tensions will fade away.
