Massage is manipulation of muscles, connective tissue, ligaments and joints,
usually by using hands or elbows of the massage therapist, and sometimes
other tools such as massage rollers. It can relieve stress, lower blood
pressure, promote healing after injuries, improve immune system, flexibility
and blood and lymph circulation.
During a good massage with a trusted therapist, emotional release/catharsis
is also common, as the long pent-up feelings hiding in the stiffness of
the body are released through laughter or unexpected tears.
Often, massage therapists use special massage oils (not too slick) and
include aromatherapy, soothing light and music and other techniques to promote
client’s relaxation throughout the session.
Some of the more popular massage techniques are:

Rolfing

One of the more popular structural/functional/movement integration bodywork techniques, Rolfing is concerned with restoring the full freedom of movement and aligning of the major body parts in a more natural vertical position, and achieves this through work on muscles, fascia (connective tissue) and deep tissue.
It was developed by a biophysicist Rolf in 1920’s. |
