Intuitive Massage

Massage therapy is the manipulation of the soft tissues of the body, such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue, to enhance overall health and well-being. This manual therapy has been used for thousands of years in various cultures around the world.

There are various types of massage, each with a unique focus and technique. Some popular forms include:

• Swedish massage, which utilizes long strokes, kneading, and circular motions to promote relaxation and improve circulation.
• Deep tissue massage, which uses firm pressure to release tension in deeper muscle and connective tissue layers.
• Sports massage, specifically designed to help athletes prepare for and recover from sports-related activities.
• Shiatsu, a Japanese form of massage that uses finger pressure to stimulate specific points on the body.
• Thai massage, which combines elements of yoga and traditional massage to create a unique stretching and pressure-point therapy.

Massage therapy is considered a complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and has been found to have numerous benefits, including reducing pain, stiffness, muscle tension, and stress, as well as improving sleep, circulation, and range of motion.
