An ancient, well-documented therapy and art form, therapeutic massage is the systematic manipulation of the muscles and soft tissues of the body to create relaxation and balance.
The manipulative techniques used by the practitioner are named in French, and have been used for centuries:
"effleurage" (long, smooth strokes, which warm up the body and relax the recipient), "petrissage" (kneading strokes, milking out the toxins and working deep into the muscle) and "tapotement" (heavier strokes, only used when necessary - usually larger males!)
Therapeutic massage is a powerful and deep form of bodywork. The relationship between the recipient's body and the masseur's hands is intense and a strong sense of awareness exists between the two. The energy brought about is palpable to both parties, and the revitalized response from the recipient's body is clear to the therapist.
This age-old art form is enjoying a renewed focus. Scientific research is beginning to highlight the physical and psychological mechanisms that lie beneath the various therapeutic effects.
Therapeutic massage is completely natural; a simple and effective healing tool poised to grow from strength to strength, as the conventional medical world begins to realize its true value.
