The benefits of a massage be it rubbing, kneading or tapping are well known, It will:
- Relax muscles
- Stimulate blood flow
- Invigorate the skin and
- Reduce stress.
There are different approaches by the practitioner to the body such as:
- Petrissage: Which involves rolling and squeezing to loosen knotted muscle fibres. This will help relieve muscle fatigue and release built-up toxins.
- Kneading: This is used to relax and invigorate large areas of flesh not close to the bone.
- Frictions: These are small circular movements made by the thumbs, fingers or heel of the hand which work on a deep level where there is a tension build-up.
- Hacking: This is a light percussive chopping stroke, done with the side of the hands, that may increase circulation and stimulate the nerve endings.
- Cupping: This is a percussive movement with a slightly cupped palm. It draws blood to the surface and is extremely invigorating.
The benefits related to the body's lymphatic, muscular, circulatory and nervous systems:
- Lymphatic Benefits: Massage will increase the flow of lymph in the body, hence improving circulation and reducing inflammation.
- Muscular Benefits: A massage will relax tense or tight muscles within the treated area, will stretch and make the muscle fibre more flexible.
- Circulatory Benefits: The rubbing action of massage encourages blood to circulate around the body, increasing vitality and energy.
- Psychological Benefits: As massages involve "the human touch" the psychological effect on patients being caressed and nurtured cannot be undervalued.
