THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE

Whether you engage in strenuous activities such as cycling, running, or lifting heavy items, or you simply want to take a break and relax a therapeutic massage will give you the healing you’re looking for, both physically and mentally!

Research has shown the people who are massaged before an exam or other potentially stressful situation showed a significant decrease in anxiety and respiratory rates, as well as a significant increase in white blood cells and natural killer cell activity, suggesting a benefit to the immune system. Office workers massaged regularly were more alert, performed better and were less stressed than those who weren't massaged, that therapeutic massage therapy provides greater joint flexibility and range of motion, and that it enhances athletic performance; as well as treating injuries caused during sport or work. These are just a few of the many benefits of therapeutic massage. In our stressed out society the benefits are countless.

"Often times people are stressed in our culture. Stress-related disorders make up between 80-and-90 percent of the ailments that bring people to family-practice physicians. What they require is someone to listen, someone to touch them, someone to care. That does not exist in modern medicine.

One of the complaints heard frequently is that physicians don't touch their
patients any more. Touch just isn't there. Years ago massage was a big part of nursing. There was so much care, so much touch, so much goodness conveyed through massage. Now nurses for the most part are as busy as physicians. They're writing charts, dealing with insurance notes, they're doing procedures and often there is no room for massage any more.

I believe massage therapy is absolutely key in the healing process not only in the hospital environment but because it relieves stress, it is obviously foundational in the healing process any time and anywhere."

You ca
n clearly see that therapeutic massages are not only popular but they actually help to make you healthier! People who have experienced therapeutic massage report that they have an increased sense of daily well-being, better posture and more energy than ever before.

THAI MASSAGE ~~~~~


Whether you engage in strenuous activities such as cycling, running, or lifting heavy items, or you simply want to take a break and relax a Thai massage will give you the healing you’re looking for, both physically and mentally!

Research has shown the people who are get a Thai massage before an exam or other potentially stressful situation showed a significant decrease in anxiety and respiratory rates, as well as a significant increase in white blood cells and natural killer cell activity, suggesting a benefit to the immune system. Techniques vary – people who like rigorous workouts will get exactly that in Bangkok, while northern techniques are substantially gentler. Whichever one you go for, try not to fight the masseuse – stay loose so she can work properly. Thai massage is not for everyone, but most people walk out far less tense than when they went in.

What is the difference between a European massage and a Thai massage? Unlike European style, traditional Thai massage focuses on circulation and pressure points, promoting internal health as well as muscular flexibility. The traditional procedure is centuries old. Using her hands, elbows, knees and feet, the masseuse applies pressure to numerous points along the body’s meridians, or ‘life-power lines’, and manipulates the customer’s body and limbs. The aim is to encourage an even and harmonious flow of physical energy.

The secret includes being hydrated, exercising, receiving massage and simply loving your body. You have to consistently take care of your body if you want your body to take care of you. Your body is your temple so take care of it.
