Why have a treatment?
Massage therapies have existed for a long time and have advanced in specialised techniques over the years. ​A hands-on technique performed by a skilled professional for both physical and mental clarity to improve skin tone, reduce pain, improve blood circulation, boost the immune system, manage pain, improve physical fitness, and stress management for mental health and well-being, according to the American Massage Therapy Association.
Methods used and practice techniques.
Massage therapies involve more than just relaxation; they incorporate thought, science, and tradition in their techniques. Eastern treatments balance the body's energy and meridians rather than merely addressing a single issue. They focus on the root cause, promoting overall health and wellness. In contrast, traditional Western techniques require more extended treatment plans to address specific pain or discomfort. Eastern practitioners assess potential issues comprehensively. While Eastern techniques are generally more intensive, applying deeper pressure.
How massage therapy can support you.
Massage therapies enhance blood circulation to the targeted muscles, facilitating the delivery of essential nutrients for their function and helping to eliminate metabolic waste that causes pain and delays recovery for those engaged in sports. Thus, they make the muscles more active and functional.​Repetitive stationary positions, such as sitting or standing for long periods, can cause muscle fibres to become restricted and adhere to one another, resulting in adhesions. Adhesions limit movement and, if untreated, can lead to muscle grouping or, secondarily, hypertonic and eventually painful muscles.
Mental health and well-being.
The National Library of Medicine (2010) states that massage therapies for mental health enhance sleep, relieve depression and anxiety, lower stress, promote energy, and increase serotonin and dopamine, known as happy hormones. This fosters greater calmness and well-being by boosting oxytocin, a hormone vital for sexual arousal, trust, relationships, and parent-infant bonding.
Massage recommendation for terminally ill patients
Cancer Research (2022) states that patients should receive massages because they promote a feel-good mentality. Massages can also elevate mood, improve sleep, and enhance overall well-being, which helps reduce stress, anxiety, headaches, and pain. However, it is advisable to avoid any treatments until a Medical Doctor provides verbal confirmation.​
