Relaxation Massage Massage is a scientific method of manipulating the soft tissue of the body to have a specific effect. Its objective is the restoration of function, release of tension and the re-establishment of contours where this is desirable. Massage Therapy helps promote relaxation by releasing stress and tension in our bodies.
Too much unresolved stress in our lives can cause constant muscular tension. This tension and tightness reduces the flow of blood and oxygen to the muscles and organs and also restricts lymph supply. Tension creates a tendency for a build up of toxins in the body, and reduces the flow of the more subtle energy or life force (Prana or Chi). Tension can lead to symptomatic feelings of fatigue, heaviness, aches and pains, tightness of muscles and stiffness. Muscular tension can increase the likelihood of strains and injuries. Muscular tension also distorts the skeletal structure which further compounds existing problems and creates new ones.
