What is Massage?

Massage therapy is the application, usually by hand, of systematic stroking or manipulation to the soft tissues of the body for therapeutic purposes, i.e. to alleviate pain and discomfort.

The most well known massage movements are those that involve long strokes and gliding (effleurage), deep kneading, surface friction and percussion to the soft tissues of the body.

These methods are used to either invigorate or relax the muscles of the body to promote healing, relaxation and relieve stress.

Who Benefits from Massage?

Massage therapy benefits people of all ages and is beneficial in the treatment of injuries, various illnesses and stress related conditions.

About Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy massage or pre-natal massage, promotes relaxation, soothes nerves, and relieves strained neck, back and leg muscles. Pregnancy massage is especially beneficial in the second and third trimesters, when the extra weight in the belly starts to put a strain on the back.

The benefits of pregnancy massage can include:

• Relaxation and stress reduction
• Increase in blood and lymph circulation, which can reduce swelling
• Reduce stress on weight-bearing joints
• Improve outcome and ease labour pain
• Help to keep good posture and provide flexibility to birthing muscles

About Spa -Vancouver Massage- Practitioners

A Spa Practitioner practices a variety of massage techniques (i.e. Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Hot Rock Massage, Shiatsu & Reflexology) for the ultimate goal of overall health, relaxation and stress reduction. These treatments are typically for one who chooses an overall long term lifestyle of health versus one who has a short term ailment that needs to be repaired.
