THE HEALTHY BENEFIT OF MASSAGE
It is very likely that massage therapy was the first health procedure employed by humankind.
The first thing we do when we feel pain anywhere in our bodies is to grab it and rub it; our primal ancestors surely did the same, long before they figured out which herbs to ingest. Massage therapy has had a long and distinguished history, having been well known and respected among the ancients; Chinese, Greeks, Romans and Egyptians — virtually every advanced civilization since the dawn of recorded history utilized massage therapy.
Today, in European democracies, massage therapy is well accepted. It is prescribed by doctors and it is often paid for by insurance.
Massage therapy has lagged behind in American culture largely as a result of the technological revolution. Discovery of drugs and other advanced medical procedures caused us to believe that medical science would solve any problems we might have. This is not always true.
Society as a whole, including established medicine, is increasingly beginning to think holistically; to value the health of the total person — body, mind and spirit.
Massage therapy is one of the most powerful healing tools of these forward thinking holistic approaches to total health. Massage therapy is a time honored and powerful method of both treating and preventing a large category of the stress induced pain and tension that so frequently accompanies modern life.
ABOUT MASSAGE THERAPY
Massage therapy is based on the fact that the soft tissues — muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia — respond to touch.
Many common aches and pains associated with the activity of daily life is myofascial (soft-tissue) in origin. Trigger points — sensitive points in muscles which radiate or refer pain to various parts of the body — can mimic many conditions.
Muscles not only move our joints, they stabilize them, and they provide armor for the internal organs.
Massage therapy not only can address the aches and pains of daily stress, but is beneficial to the mind and spirit as well. Relaxing and letting go of stress and anxiety, even for a short period of time, has well documented healthful benefits.
Please note…
It is wise to consult a physician before receiving massage. Massage is generally safe for everyone, however, if you have recently undergone surgery, are taking certain medications, or have certain chronic illnesses, massage therapy may be contraindicated for you at this time.
