MASSAGE

What is Body Massage?

Massage uses touch through rubbing or kneading of parts of the body to aid circulation, relax the muscles.

Massage is one of the oldest, simplest forms of therapy.

The basic goal of massage therapy is to help the body heal itself and to increase health and well-being.

There are many health benefits to receiving massage therapy on a regular basis:

Relieves stress
Encourages relaxation
Improves circulation
Improves posture
Lowers blood pressure
Helps manage pain
Relaxes muscles
Improves flexibility
Improves breathing
Relieves tension headaches
Strengthens immune system
Decreases depression

During massage, massage therapists use massage oils to facilitate smooth, gliding strokes over the entire body. Other classic massage moves include kneading, friction, stretching and (sometimes) tapping. Some massage uses firm but gentle pressure to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension and create other health benefits .

Generally during massage you're underneath a towel or sheet. The therapist uncovers only the part of the body he/she is working on, a technique called "draping". You keep your underwear on during massage.

Feel free to state your preference for pressure during massage. It can range from light to firm. Massage usually includes some deeper work on areas of specific muscle tension.If you want more intensive work and firmer pressure may I suggest a deep tissue massage.
