II. Different types of massage therapy

 

If you are looking for a massage nearby, you can choose from types of massage treatments that offer different pressures, movements, and techniques. Each treatment involves kneading, stroking, or manipulating muscles and other soft tissues using hands and fingers. Sometimes, even the forearms, elbows, or feet may be utilized to enhance the experience.

 

Here are some common types of massages that you can choose at Herbal Spa.

 

 

1. Shiatsu massage

 

Shiatsu is a Japanese massage therapy that uses fingers, thumbs, palms, elbows, or knees to apply pressure to specific points on the body. It is based on the principles of traditional medicine, which views the body as a network of energy channels called meridians. Shiatsu practitioners believe that manipulating these meridians can help balance the flow of energy and promote healing.   

 

Shiatsu often relieves stress, pain, and other physical and emotional ailments. It can also help improve circulation, flexibility, and overall well-being.

This dynamic therapy not only relieves muscle tension and stress but also improves flexibility, circulation, and overall well-being.

III. Massage benefits

 

Massage offers a multitude of benefits for both physical health and mental well-being. Professional massage techniques can effectively relax tight muscles, and ease pain in the back, neck, and shoulders, ultimately aiding the body in a quicker recovery after injuries or intense physical activities. Additionally, massage stimulates the lymphatic system, promoting detoxification and boosting overall immunity.

 

Moreover, massage significantly reduces stress and anxiety levels by stimulating neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, which are hormones associated with feelings of happiness and relaxation. The massage process can lower cortisol levels—the stress hormone in the body—leading to a calmer mind and alleviating feelings of fatigue and worry. Furthermore, massage contributes to improved sleep quality, reduces insomnia, and helps you feel more relaxed after a long, stressful day.

 

 

IV. Massage – Special considerations

 

There are certain instances where massage may not be recommended, or a GP (doctor) or specialist referral should be obtained. These include:

 

➤ During pregnancy

➤ If there are skin rashes, cuts, or infections

➤ If there is suspicion of a fracture or broken bones

➤ If experiencing a high fever or flu

➤ If there are any cardiovascular issues or blood pressure concerns.
