| What is
Massage? Massage
is a wonderful way of relaxing after a hard
day at work or after strenuous sporting activity
or simply to indulge.
Massage is the use of a
variety of techniques designed to relieve stress,
promote relaxation and general wellness in a
person who has no definable health problems,
massage treats the whole person in an integrated
way. Using relaxing soft tissue techniques,
and also deeper neuro-muscular techniques, gently
relieves areas of tension or congestion.
To achieve and maintain
good health, stress must be absent from the
body. If stress builds up within our bodies,
we are more prone to suffer from a range of
conditions: headaches, high blood pressure,
neck and shoulder tension, back pain, digestive
and sleeping disorders and general lack of energy.
Massage helps to alleviate
these conditions by ridding our bodies of stress,
so we are able to cope more effectively with
our environment and achieve a higher level of
vitality and well-being.
