Massage: A relaxing method to relieve stress and pain A soothing massage can help you unwind, but that's not all. Explore the health benefits and risks, then find out what to expect. You might think of a massage as a luxury found in exotic spas and upscale health clubs. But did you know that massage, when combined with traditional medical treatments, can reduce stress and promote healing in people with certain health conditions?

During a massage, a therapist manipulates your body's soft tissues - your muscles, skin and tendons - using his or her fingertips, hands and fists.

Massage can be performed by several types of health care professionals, such as a massage therapist, physical therapist or occupational therapist.

Several versions of massage exist, and they're performed in a variety of settings. A massage may make you feel relaxed, but it isn't likely to cure everything that ails you. And, if performed incorrectly, it could hurt you. Learning about massage before you try one can help ensure that the experience is safe and enjoyable.

Health benefits of massage Massage can relieve tension in your muscles, and most people use it for relaxation, relief of stress and anxiety, or to reduce muscle soreness.

Massage can also cause your body to release natural painkillers, and it boosts your immune system.

Anxiety. While more research is needed to confirm the benefits of massage, some studies have found it helpful for: Anxiety. Massage reduced anxiety in depressed children and anorexic women. It also reduced anxiety and withdrawal symptoms in adults trying to quit smoking.

Pain was decreased in studies of people with fibromyalgia, migraines and recent surgeries. Back pain also might be relieved by massage. However, back pain study results have been contradictory, and more research is required. .

Labor pain Massage during labor appears to reduce stress and anxiety, relax muscles and help block pain. Infant growth. Massage encouraged weight gain in premature babies and reduced the number of days they stayed in the hospital.

Diabetes. Children with diabetes. Children who were massaged every day by their parents were more likely to stick to their medication and diet regimens, which helped reduce their blood glucose levels. Sports-related soreness. Some athletes receive massages after exercise, especially to the muscles they use most in their sport or activity.

Blood flow. A massage might help increase blood flow to your muscles and may reduce muscle soreness after you exercise. Alcohol withdrawal. Massage during withdrawal from alcohol has shown benefits when combined with traditional medical treatment by increasing feelings of support, safety and engagement in the therapy.

Immune system. People with HIV who participated in massage studies showed an increased number of natural killer cells, which are thought to defend the body from viral and cancer cells. Cancer treatment. People with cancer who received regularly-scheduled massage therapy during treatment reported less anxiety, pain and fatigue. Self-esteem. Because massage involves direct contact with another person through touch, it can make you feel cared for.

Illnesses. That special attention can improve self-image in people with physical disabilities and terminal illnesses. And using touch to convey caring can help children with severe physical disabilities People with cancer H.I.V. or are under medication for dibetes or high/low blood pressureor for any other illness such as above Please get written consent from your doctor before recieving a massage so that you avoid dissapointment on the day as with some conditions it is not safe to recieve a massage. This is for your benifit as massage is meant to help not hurt you.

A medical will be taken on the first visit .So if you are unsure whether masssage is for you please ask your doctor before booking. Also if you have had any broken bones please check with the doctor before massage takes place or the area will have to be missed out if the injury was less than 6 months ago
