There are many kinds of massage techniques that can help you control and alleviate pain in the body. To me, all of which are better options than drugs and surgery. Deep Tissue Massage Deep tissue massage is used to release chronic muscular tension. It is applied with greater pressure and on deeper muscles than classic Swedish massage and generally focuses on one problem area. Esalen Massage This massage technique is meant to bring on a sense of well-being through deep and beneficial states of consciousness. Esalen massage focuses on the mind and body as a whole. It is hypnotic in nature and uses slow, rhythmic movements to bring about a general state of relaxation.
Neuromuscular Massage This form of deep tissue massage concentrates on s specific muscle. Through the use of concentrated finger pressure, sensitive trigger points are released and blood flow increases. Reflexology Reflexology is the practice of applying pressure in a strategic manner to reflexes of the feet and hands, and even the face and ears. By stimulating nerves on specific areas of the feet and hands, we can stimulate blood flow, enhance circulation and eliminate toxin buildup in the corresponding areas of the body. Furthermore, reflexology stimulates the lymphatic system and encourages the release of endorphins, the natural feel good hormones that are well documented in relieving the effects of stress. Reflexology is meant to bring your body to a state of well-being. Only in this state is your body able to heal itself.
Reiki In Japanese, reiki means “universal life energy.” The practice of reiki promotes a return to health through wholeness. The treatment consists of the health professional gently placing his or her hands on a relaxed body. Your clothes are not removed for a reiki session. The practitioner’s hands touch a variety of places, such as the chest, head, abdomen and back to promote energy to flow through the body. Some people experience deep relaxation, while others find it invigorating. It is easy to learn and very powerful. It is used to relieve stress, empower and heal.
