Massage therapy is systematically and strategically the manipulation of the soft tissues of the human body to produce a relaxed state, as well as alleviating things like pain, discomfort, anxiety, and fatigue, using a vast and varied range of techniques.
Massage techniques are usually 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. In European countries, a person professionally trained to give massages is traditionally known as a masseur or masseuse.
The term “massage therapy” includes many techniques. The most common form of massage therapy in Western countries is called Swedish or Traditional massage; it is the core of most massage training programs. Other styles include sports massage to accomplish specific goals such as releasing muscle spasms, and massage traditions derived from Eastern cultures, such as Gua Sha and Indian Head Massage.
Massage generally involves the removal of all or parts of your clothing, depending on the parts of the body to be massaged and for this purpose we advise that you wear easily removeable clothing. Also, as massage involves the application of either base oils or aromatherapy oils some of the residue of the oil, after massage, may affect your clothing, so please make sure to wear appropriate clothing.
