Swedish Body Massage |
 Massage
has existed in one form or another since early
civilisation. The word massage is generally believed
to derive from the Arabic ‘mass’ which means to
press softly. The physical and psychological
benefits of massage have been recognised for
thousands of years. Massage is the manipulation of
the soft tissues and muscles of the body for
therapeutic purposes. The sense of touch is one of
the first senses to be developed and is essential to
our growth as human beings from the very young to
the older generation.
In its various forms, massage can be used to
stimulate or relax the mind and body. It can be used
to promote general well being and enhance self
esteem; while boosting the circulatory and immune
system to benefit blood pressure, circulation,
muscle tone, respiration, digestion and skin tone.

Tui Na (Chinese Bodywork Massage Therapy) |
Tui na is an oriental bodywork therapy that has been
used in China for 2,000 years. Tui na uses the
traditional Chinese medical theory of the flow of
energy (Qi) through the meridians as its basic
therapeutic orientation. Through the application of
massage techniques Tui na seeks to establish a more
harmonious flow of energy through the body’s system
of channels using an holistic approach helps the
body heal itself naturally.
Tui na methods include the use of hand techniques to
massage the soft tissue (muscles and tendons) of the
body, acupressure techniques to directly affect the
flow of energy. Tui na can also form a good adjunct
to Swedish body massage enabling the therapist to
concentrate on the clients problem areas.
Tui na is suitable for the treatment of muscular and
soft tissue problems and joint manipulation, chronic
stress related disorders related to digestion,
respiratory and reproductive systems. It is also
used to protect health and build up body immunity,
improving circulation, the appearance of the skin,
improves muscle tone and helps to bring balance to
the mind and body. |
