WHAT IS RELAXATION MASSAGE
Relaxation Massage is a gentle Swedish massage that uses smooth, gliding strokes that are rhythmic and following. It focuses on giving the client time to relax and recover from the stresses of daily life. When you experience relaxation massage, the therapist will move at a slower pace and apply lighter, deeply relaxing pressure. Relaxation Massage is designed to sooth and relax you, there is less emphasis on working out chronic underlying muscle tension and other underlying ailments.
Massage involves acting on and manipulating the body with pressure – structured, unstructured, stationary, or moving – tension, motion, or vibration, done manually or with mechanical aids. Target tissues may include muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, joints, or other connective tissue, as well as lymphatic vessels, or organs of the gastrointestinal system. Massage can be applied with the hands, fingers, elbows, knees, forearm, and feet. There are over eighty different recognized massage modalities. The most cited reasons for introducing massage as therapy have been client demand and perceived clinical effectiveness.
