Therapeutic Massage

Therapeutic Massage

Therapeutic massage is one of the oldest, most effective and natural  forms of healing. Massage relaxes and calms the tense, anxious mind by  slowing down the breathing from short, rapid breaths to more effective  deep slow breaths. A massage counteracts your body’s negative response to stress, relaxing  muscle tension and allowing your heart rate, blood pressure and  circulation to return to normal. This relieves mental, emotional and physical fatigue. Therapeutic  massage also helps you become aware of any unconsciously held  body-tension. As part of this awareness process you will develop the  ability to recognise tension when it starts to build, and be able to  intuitively release it before it can have a negative effect on the body. Massage can be used for pain relief, muscular or joint problems, to aid  relaxation and for more general health improvement. Studies have found that therapeutic massage may help with stress related  conditions, such as insomnia, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic  fatigue, and constipation. It can also be helpful for persistent back  pain. Massage may also be used for people with depression or acute short  – term anxiety. The intensity of the massage can vary and the practitioner will check  that you are happy with the level of pressure.
