Massage is defined as the systematic manipulation of the

soft tissues of the body for a curative effect. Soft tissues

are made more pliable through massage to promote circulation

and blood flow and bring about healing effects: physical and

psychological changes for general wellbeing. 

.

The system of massage treatment involves the therapist

using their hands to apply pressure on your body. 

Therapists use various techniques to work on the body:

stroking and gliding (effleurage), kneading the soft tissues (

petrissage), or what is termed ‘percussion’ (tapotement) 

Massage therapy is extremely beneficial to people

leading busy lifestyles suffering from what is now

commonly encountered work related stress 

.

Massage will not only aid with mental relaxation

but will work on physical symptoms of back and

neck pain that comes from sitting for an extended

period of time at a desk or from physical labour.  

The importance of taking regular massage has heightened in

recent times as more people recognise how beneficial it is

as a way to counteract the effects of sitting in front of a

computer screen daily. 

Many people wait until they are already in pain

or suffering spinal injuries before turning to massage,

but why let it get that bad? It is a good idea to take

regular massage as a preventative measure so that such

injuries do not occur
