By: Chanda Many people love to get massages because they feel great, but what most people may not realize is that massage also provides health benefits. When massage therapy and techniques are done properly, massage can decrease stress levels, provide muscle relaxation, and improve your immune system. Massages can help to relive pain in the body and cure headaches. Massage can also be used for healing injuries and retaining muscle and joint mobility. If you are having any type of problems with these areas, and traditional medical procedures are not working for you, talk to your healthcare provider about alternative therapy options like massage. There are many different types of massages and a professional will usually practice one or two of these. Do your research and visit someone who can help you with your specific problem areas. There are Swedish massages that focus on relaxation or deep tissue massage and others that focus on loosening up muscle tissues. Read More »

By: Scott Meyers Shiatsu is an excellent pain reliever for many health conditions such as stress related disorders, endometriosis, menopause (and accompanying symptoms), and constipation. Shiatsu can decrease both the level of fatigue (or tsubo) and stress that has built up in the human body. Shiatsu can improve the circulation of both lymph and blood systems. Shiatsu helps to decrease the stiffness of muscles and joints as it lowers blood pressure. Shiatsu also helps to improve a person's level of energy (or qi), vitality and stamina. When you decide to begin practicing shiatsu, always dress in loosely-fitting, comfortable clothing that is made of natural as opposed to synthetic fibers. Doing this helps to encourage the flow of positive energy in the body or what is referred to as "ki." Always make sure you practice shiatsu in a room that has plenty of empty space and is uncluttered, clean and very neat. Also make sure the room you practice in is warm and quiet. If you do not do these things then it can have a negative impact on the flow of energy. The practitioner of shiatsu should... Read More »

Tui Na is based on the traditional Chinese medical principle of the flow of Qi, or the ‘life force’ through the energy meridians of the body. It seeks to promote a more effective flow of Qi throughout the body by using massage and manipulation techniques. Tui Na involves the use of hands to massage soft tissue and apply pressure on the pressure points. It also involves some manipulation techniques to realign the musculoskeletal system. These techniques may be supplemented by the use of herbal poultices, compresses, liniments, and salves. Read More »

By: Dallas Dougan It is easy to understand how it might be uncomfortable to receive a massage from a stranger. Many of us have never sought a professional massage for this very reason, even though we recognize that it would feel good and be very healthy. Many men feel nervous that they will become sexually aroused during a massage intended to be physically therapeutic, and worry about the embarrassment of an unwanted erection. This is why many men prefer to receive their massage from a fellow man, to avoid any wandering thoughts that could tense them up and distract them from alleviating their physical tension. Read More »

They have experienced their therapeutic effect on the various types of health conditions.
