Massage helps relieve the stress and tension of everyday living, and can improve your state of mind and vitality. Massage therapy and body work plays an important role in promoting wellness. Why? Because body work influences every part of your body. Receiving a massage has an ongoing cumulative effect promoting feelings of well being. One of the best benefits of consistent and regular massage therapy is better flexibility and stability which is important as you get older.
Aromatherapy Massage
This is likely one of the most relaxing styles of massage that you can experience. Aromatherapy Massage adds the power of essential oils to create a very relaxing massage. Each essential oil has different properties and the therapist will blend them according to your needs. Combining essential oils with massage therapy allows you to activate your limbic system. The limbic system controls your emotions and influences your hormone levels. This style of massage is usually best for stress relieve, and is particularly effective if you are suffering from insomnia.
Balinese Massage
This is an ancient style of massage therapy. It combines smooth massage action like kneading and rolling with the application of essential oils or a special coconut oil enhanced with many spices. Using essential oil has an added advantage as it enables the Balinese massage to share the similar effects as the aromatherapy massage. Instead of just using the skin to absorb the goodness, you now can breathe in, as well as allowing your skin to absorb the goodness of the herbs, spices or floral properties in the essential oils.
Deep Tissue Massage
When I first learned massage, I thought that deep tissue massage was the real deal. The deep strokes and precise targeting of tissues and muscles appeared to be very difficult and professional. Now I know that deep tissue massage is but one of the many different massage technique. Each style has its own benefits. When you are feeling tight or experience muscle aches, a deep tissue massage can help to relieve you. This technique targets deep layers of muscle and connective tissues.
Shiatsu Massage
Once confined to Japan, the Shiatsu technique has become very popular in many countries. This is a very precise technique where the therapist uses his or her fingers to apply pressure at specific points along your acupuncture meridians. Unlike deep tissue massage, this technique leaves no soreness after treatment. It is relaxing and yet, you can experience the firm pressure of a strong massage.
Fusion Massage
After studying the different massage techniques, I have created the Scent Discovery Fusion Massage. As its name suggests, I have blended together the most beneficial and well appreciated aspects of different techniques and combined them into a blissful experience for you. If you are not sure which style suits you, then you must surely try the Fusion Massage.
