Massage Basic Tips & Techniques: A Step By Step Guidebook

By Eleanor Gerald

Massage therapy is the practice of using touch to manipulate the soft-tissue and muscles of the body. It is performed for a variety of reasons, including treating painful ailments, decompressing tired and overworked muscles, reducing stress, rehabilitating sports injuries, and promoting general health. Clients often seek massage for its medical benefit and for relaxation purposes, and there is a wide range of massage treatments available. Massage therapy has many benefits, from increasing circulation and immunity to reducing pain from disease and injury. Massage therapy releases the "feel good" hormones, enabling the client to relax. If clients fail to keep stress in check, it can lead to disease and can worsen conditions that already exist. Massage is beneficial to everyone; from premature infants to the elderly. Massage helps infants to thrive and grow; helps children with a variety of medical, physical and emotional problems; and even helps relieve the pain of people who are dying.
