All you need to Know about Massage

Are there different types of Massage?

Indeed there are, and we have a wide range that we offer, the most popular being the deep tissue Swedish Massage…

Before we get into that, one would need to explain the Notion of Touch first

The notion of touch has always had a great instinct to stroke or touch the body in distress. The gentle art of touch is a language common to all people, past and present. It can be used to heal or reassure, to relieve pain or soothe away tension; but above all to convey CARE!⠀

The origin of massage is likely to be linked to early dwellers rubbing muscles, sore and bruised from the hazards of normal daily routine movements, and the hard physical strain needed to just keep alive.⠀

The idea, then, that touch can be, and is, of therapeutic benefit, is certainly not new, nor the prerogative of any group of people in time and space ⠀

So the question would be - what is Swedish Massage?

The Swedish massage is one of the most common types of massages you can get. It is performed to energize the body and improve overall health. This type of massage involves actions like percussion, kneading, vibration, tapping and rolling. Massage oil or lotion is used to protect the skin from friction.⠀

Massages are a great way to relax and unwind. A massage involves manipulating the muscles and joints to relieve stress or pain. This is achieved by relaxing tight muscles and promoting blood circulation.⠀

And now Looking at Massage Today

Massages offer insights on various levels. As you learn to massage (as a massage practitioner), you embark on a journey that offers you the potential for insights on at least three levels:⠀

⠀

(a) The Physical Level⠀

This looks at how the body works. Our body, that multi-faceted miracle, knows exactly what to do, when and how to do it; if only you will allow it to do so unhindered. ⠀

⠀

(b) The Magic of Touch⠀

Consider how to make people feel good through the noble art of massage. This encompasses all the benefits of massage that accrue through the magic of touch⠀

⠀

(c) The Level of Introspection⠀

Insights of a personal and reflective nature. Through the 2-way energy transference in massage, you are afforded the opportunity to look inward and grow (on a personal level)⠀
