Essential Healings
Massage was once perceived as a luxurious form of relaxation. Now it is accepted as a powerful
means of treating not only stress related ailments but countless other health problems. Massage has
powerful healing qualities that can help counteract the debilitating effects of modern life (under use
and over use of our bodies).
What is massage and how can the simple act of touching someone promote so many health benefits?
The skin is the body’s largest organ. Massage is the manipulation of this soft tissue effecting a change
in the surrounding tissue and structures. Our bodies and posture are held in balance by muscles
throughout the entire body. If one or more of your muscles become too tight or weak, then your
posture will be thrown out and your body will deliberately pull other muscles out of their normal state of
tone to compensate. If this is not corrected it will over time be accepted by your body and you will have
a permanent imbalance. You will become accustomed to this over time and quite possibly will not
notice that you have a dysfunction until you try to do something which requires a normal full range of
movement. Massage therapy relaxes and stretches these tight muscles or strengthens and tones the
weak muscles. This is the main physical property of massage. It also has a profound effect on all the
systems of your body, as well as relaxing you mentally and reducing emotional turmoil.
Who Can Benefit From Massage Therapy?
If you suffer from any of the following disorders, you may benefit by clinical massage
Any chronic muscle or joint pain
A known condition of referred pain, such as “when my neck gets tense I get a headache”
Any recurring symptoms that seem to accompany or are precipitated by muscle tightness
Tight muscles that are limiting movement of a joint
Chronically fatigued muscles
Low energy level, especially when accompanied by muscle aches and pains
A recent muscle injury that generates pain or dysfunction in areas not seemingly involved in the injury
Muscle pain that recurs in an area with no apparent new cause
A tendency for pain to spread to other muscles whenever a simple strain or injury occurs
Any one that works at a computer with poor posture
Any one that works at a physically challenging job that requires heavy lifting
What types of pain can massage help?
Massage can help any pain originating from muscle tension: example-head, back, neck and shoulder
pain can all benefit from massage. Releasing tightness and tension in muscles is the most obvious
effect of a good massage. Massage is beneficial for relieving pain associated with arthritis and injuries.
