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.

Reiki |
|
Reiki healing is the usage of spiritual energy to heal a person's aura
or situation. The word "Reiki" actually translates to "Universal Life
Force Energy." The usual treatment of Reiki massage begins at the head
and works its way through the seven different chakras. The hand
placements coincide with the seven major chakras or energy centers of
the physical body.
Reiki massage has been used to help patients manage pain and increase
their quality of living. Reiki massage is different from normal massage
because the practitioner does not knead or manipulate the tissues or
muscles of the patient. Instead, the hands of the practitioner remain
still, and the energy of healing is sent through the channels of the
practitioner into the patient.
Reiki massage can even be used to send energy to broken bones or
injuries that are covered by casts and bandages.
Reiki is used to treat conditions such as TMJ (more commonly known as
lock-jaw), muscle pain, tension, stress, injury healing, pain management
and over 60 other medical ailments. In the Western world, there are four
different areas or chakras of the body used for treatment. They are the
head, body, legs/feet and back, respectively.
Reiki treatments are one hundred percent safe; they do not incur any
side effects or injuries. There are sensations that are felt, but they
are different for different people. Some people experience a sensation
of warmth or tingling. Others experience a spirit of relaxation and
balance.
