What is Massage
Specifically, Massage is the application of soft-tissue manipulation techniques to the body, generally intended to reduce stress and fatigue while improving circulation. The many variations of massage account for many different techniques. Bodywork is the various forms of touch therapies that may use manipulation, movement, and/or repatterning to affect structural changes to the body. Somatic means “of the body.” Many times this term is used to denote a body/mind or whole-body approach as distinguished from a physiology-only or environmental perspective. There are more than 200 variations of massage, bodywork, and somatic therapies and many practitioners utilize multiple techniques. The application of these techniques may include, but is not limited to, stroking, kneading, tapping, compression, vibration, rocking, friction, and pressure to the muscular structure or soft tissues of the human body. This may also include passive or active movement and/or application of techniques intended to affect the energetic systems of the body. The use of oils and/or lotions may also be included to reduce friction on the skin.
