Therapeutic Massage

Therapeutic massage was originally developed in the late eighteenth century by a Therapeutic master as the first systematic application of therapeutic massage in the West. It was based on European folk massage, oriental techniques from the Middle East and the then emerging knowledge of modern anatomy and physiology. The strokes and manipulations of Therapeutic Massage are each conceived as having a specific therapeutic benefit. One of the primary goals of Therapeutic Massage is to speed the venous return of unoxygenated and toxic blood from the extremities. Therapeutic massage shortens recovery time from muscular strain by flushing the tissues of lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic wastes. It increases circulation without increasing heart load. It stretches the ligaments and tendons keeping them supple and young.

Therapeutic Massage also stimulates the skin and nervous system and soothes the nerves themselves at the same time. It reduces both emotional and physical, stress and is suggested in a regular program for stress management. It also has many specific clinical uses in medical or remedial therapy. Medical massage can be used to prevent muscular atrophy in cases of broken bones, to reduce inflammation in strains and sprains, to reduce inflammation of sciatica and lumbago, to increase circulation of varicose ulcers, to stimulate normal bowel movements and much more.
