Therapeutic

Swedish Massage.

One of the most commonly taught and well-known
massage techniques, Swedish massage is a vigorous
system of treatment designed to energize the body by
stimulating circulation. Five basic strokes, all flowing
towards heart, are used to manipulate the soft tissues
of the body. The disorbed client is covered by a sheet,
with only the area being worked on exposed. Therapist
used a combination of kneading, rolling, vibrational,
percussive and tapping movements, with the
application of oil, to reduce friction on the skin. The
many benefits of Swedish massage may include
generalized relaxation, dissolution of scar tissue
adhesions and improved circulation, which may speed
healing and reduce swelling from injury.

Reflexology

Based on an ancient Chinese therapy,
Reflexology involves manipulation of
specific reflex areas in the foot, hands and
ears that correspond to other part of the
body. Sometimes referred to as zone
therapy, this bodywork involves application
of pressure to these reflex zones to
stimulate body organs and relieve areas of
congestion. Similar to acupressure
principles, Reflexology works with the
body's energy flow to stimulate self-healing
and maintain balance in physical function.
Developed in the United States in the early
1900s, this technique is used today to
reduce pain, increase relaxation and
stimulate circultion of blood and lymphatic
fluids. It is especially useful in stress-related
illness and emotional disorders. Reflexology
is also convenient in cases where an area of
the body is traumatized or diseased to the
extend that direct manipulation is not
appropriate.
