Massage everybody can now benefit
Massage
There are lots of different ones and each one of them are great, why? Different people will react differently to different massages. Basically when the body is touched in a positive way it has a positive effect on the nervous system that is why you always feel better after a good massage. The heat of the hand along with the friction of the massage movements causes the skin to go red, what does this do? When the skin goes red it is because of the increased blood flow to the area being treated, your blood contains healing properties the cosmetologist just starts that process. Our bodies are amazing pieces of machinery and when stimulated properly can do great things.
Massages can be given for various reasons lymphatic drainage for instance can help with the removal of toxins from the body. I believe in all massages because they will work for somebody.
You can help with this we all have the power to heal, remember stimulation of blood flow to the area. You don’t have to spend a fortune on massage, any good therapist will show you how to do this children, babies, men and women can all benefit from this. Remember not to start too hard be gentle but firm and your patient will relax as your hands become more and more confident.
Massage can also bring a couple closer together it can solidify their relationship, promotes mutual respect and can show a love that runs very deep. It can also lead to other things but I will let you guys fill in the spaces there.
Massage for a baby has to be very gentle but not too gentle that the baby is chuckling because you are tickling them. A baby does most of their growing and healing when they sleep and a massage can help them sleep soundly thus benefitting them greatly.
Older people can benefit greatly again you have to be gentle and very respectful because the older generation’s boundaries are far more intrusive than ours.
Massage is important especially now when it seems to be an offence just to brush past people nowadays. The human being needs to be touched in a positive way just like your dog or cat loves to be stroked. Sometimes it works better than medication so come on let’s give it a try, and maybe make this life a little bit easier on each other.
