What Type of Massage Does Your Body Need?

I usually go to the massage only when I'm on vacation somewhere. I should have a "tic" and go to the weekly professional massage for its benefits that you will be able to read further.

o go and get a glass of cold water and sit in front of the monitor to read the specialist's advice on the types of massage and what each one helps you with.

How do you know you need a massage? The pain is good to be seen as a friend who warns you that something is wrong and it would be good to take action.

For those who have a static job (computer, desk, etc.) it is good to take a break of 5-10 minutes and a few gymnastic movements for at least one hour.

The relaxing massage, general or partial, is welcome in the morning in a more energetic (toning) version and prepares us for a new day, as well as in the evening when it calms us down after a day of work. In short, we need a daily massage.

Relaxation massage - is the first type of massage you think of and I think the most requested. The purpose of this type of massage is to relax the physical and mental structure of the body. The maneuvers are easy to perform, they are more extensive, they insist on the most requested areas. To achieve this goal, the therapist plays a very important role in the sense that he must induce a state of calm, the maneuvers must not be performed in a hurry.

Anti-cellulite massage - how many of us have never dreamed of an endless program containing this type of massage? This is similar to the one described above, only it is a bit more intense and the aim is to amplify the blood rhythm, only that unpleasant aspect must disappear once. The intensity of the anti-cellulite massage begins progressively, bruising of the massaged areas should be avoided because complications can occur, especially if the area is very poorly vascularized. It is recommended to use creams, exercise, and diet.

On the other hand, caution is recommended in applying this treatment to the body because anti-cellulite massage can seriously harm your health. Hot creams damage tissues. Tough, too vigorous maneuvers damage the collagen and elastane in the tissues. I hope I didn't shock you.

Reflexogenic massage - is performed by pressing, stimulating specific areas of the body. This can eliminate toxins from the body and thus prevent disease.

Shiatsu - is similar to reflexology, "it is also called needle-free acupuncture", the difference being that the key stimulating points extend over almost the entire surface of the body.

Yumeiho - consists of 100 maneuvers applied to the whole body. These are osteoarticular manipulation techniques, acupressure, pressure-kneading. The goal is to acquire the symmetry of the human body and remove suffering.

Lymphatic drainage - "represents the application of a set of manual techniques that ensure: drainage of excess fluid that warms the cells, maintaining the water balance of the interstitial spaces. This type of massage ensures the elimination of waste from cellular metabolism. But here you should know that it is not indicated for people suffering from asthma, tuberculosis, malignant tumors and should be done only with the consent of the doctor.

Why massage?

Because it relaxes you, tones you because you spend a lot of time at the office or in traffic. After a massage session, you will immediately know if it suits you or not. It matters to the therapist, the techniques he uses, the intensity of the maneuvers.

“A massage is just like a movie, really relaxing and a total escape, except in a massage you’re the star. And you don’t miss anything by falling asleep!” – Elizabeth Jane Howard
