It is a system of stroking, pressing and kneading various areas of the body to relieve pain, relax, stimulate and tone the body.
Massage does much more than create a pleasant sensation on the skin, it also works on the soft tissues the muscles, fascia, tendons, and ligaments and the nervous system to reduce pain and oedema and improve muscle tone, extensibility and movement. Massage also stimulates blood circulation and assists the lymphatic system which runs parallel to the circulatory system , improving the elimination of waste and toxins throughout the body. Eases tension and stiffness. A combination of techniques are used.
The strokes are generally faster and deeper than a remedial massage. Facilitated stretching is a common technique. It helps to loosen muscles and increase flexibility. Remedial massage holistically treats the body, lymphatics and nervous system. A skilled massage therapist endeavours to identify the original biomechanical dysfunction, thus healing the cause of the disorder, as well as the symptoms.
