Massage Therapy
One of the Best Ways to Reduce Stress & Increase Relaxation
I have been so fortunate that Massage Therapy was brought into my life at such an early age! From a young age, I enjoyed practicing the techniques taught to me through various mentors and instructors my life has provided me. However, it wasn't until a few years ago that I became a licensed massage therapist in my state, here in the USA. I aspire to share this passion with the world around me. The world has done me favor, by allowing me to do others a favor.
Massage is the manipulation of the body's soft tissues. Massage techniques are commonly applied with hands, fingers, elbows, knees, forearms, feet, or a device. The purpose of massage is generally for the treatment of body stress or pain. A person professionally trained to give massages is traditionally known as a masseur (male) or a masseuse (female) in European countries. In the United States, these individuals are often referred to as massage therapists because they must be certified and licensed as "Licensed Massage Therapists". In professional settings, clients are treated while lying on a massage table, sitting in a massage chair, or lying on a mat on the floor. There are many different modalities in the massage industry including but not limited to: Swedish, deep tissue, structural integration, trigger point, manual lymphatic drainage, sports massage, Thai massage, and medical massage.
Massage benefits can include: - Reducing stress and increasing relaxation. - Reducing pain and muscle soreness and tension. - Improving circulation, energy and alertness.
