It is usually a full body treatment which uses long strokes, sometimes a gentle kneading, rolling of skin and muscles, at times, it also involves rhythmic rocking from side to side coupled with good music, soft lighting and aromatic oils.

  A relaxation massage is considered as a passive treatment as you won’t be stretched and maneuvered in the same way as Thai massage. In this kind of massage, you just chill out and wait to be pampered.  

  It is our natural instinct to rub on sore parts of our body or to cuddle with someone to give them comfort. It is from this instinct that the relaxation massage was invented. A good massage relieves tension and stress in our muscles and could leave you energized and rejuvenated. It leaves you with the oozing sense of well-being that helps you perform better at work and at home. Relaxation massage also helps your circulation and as your skin and organs gets more oxygen, it also helps move fluid in your lymphatic system. A good relaxation massage also improves your digestion and helps you get rid of toxins. It unknots tensed muscles, helps soothe your aches and pains and even encourages your skin to heal.  

  Before going for a relaxation massage, avoid the intake of alcohol and even large meals. Also, make sure to drink plenty of water, as this will help you flush out the toxins in your body. It is also a good idea to set out lots of time for your massage so you won’t have to rush for work or your next appointment. Setting the whole afternoon for relaxation is best so you can go straight home and continue your sleep since you will surely feel like snoozing after a long, relaxing massage.

  In a relaxation massage, you will probably be given towels and a robe to wrap yourself with. During the massage, you will probably lie on a massage table and only the towels will cover your private parts. For first timers, this can be awkward but remember that it is important that you feel comfortable so if you’d rather put some of your clothes on, then do so. A good masseur will surely work with whatever suits you.

  The benefits of a relaxation massage can last for days, but it is still best not to schedule stressful activities immediately. If you are experiencing any physical problems or if you are expecting, make sure to inform your masseuse so they can take the necessary adjustments to the kind of treatment you will receive. 

  Aside from the Swedish massage, the Ayurvedic massage (which was based on the ancient Hindu practice) is also considered as relaxation massage in several parts of the world. Remember to call your favorite spa to schedule and arrange the kind of treatment you want to receive. Now you are all set for an afternoon of relaxation, so chill out!]]></description><pubDate>Wed, 25 Jun 2008 10:51:11 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.massagechairsworld.com/massage/relaxation-massage/</link><guid>http://www.massagechairsworld.com/massage/relaxation-massage/</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Foot massage points]]></title><description><![CDATA[  It is said that our feet are the most abused part of our body. No other comfort technique has been as effective as a foot massage.   

   A foot massage lasting five to ten minutes will actually help relax the body – this is due to foot massage points which are related to several parts of the body, including some internal organs. There are many acupressure reflexology points in the feet which balance and energize the organs and other parts of the body. If you want to stimulate and improve blood circulation, there are points in your feet that can heal many conditions in the body.   

  Before a foot massage, it is important that you wash your feet with warms water and soap or perhaps, alcohol to prevent the spread of fungus. In some cases, lotion and oil are used in the massage. Some people use a rolling pin, a golf ball, or even a bottle which are rolled under the foot if they want to have a self massage.  

  The art of massage can be traced as far back as 5,000 years ago, and is considered as “a self healing method” by the Ayuraveda Book. The foot massage, on the other hand, goes back to 618 AD and was brought to the Western countries. In 1913, Dr. William Fitzgerald wrote about foot reflexology massage and he created a systematized chart of longitudinal zones in the body. He says that there are 10 zones (which ends in the fingers and toes), each was a reflex area with connections and there are physical conditions, which are affected by that connection.  

  Not all foot massage are considered as reflexology, only those which helps boost the energy circulation and provides a rejuvenating experience. The true reflexology is when pressure is applied onto the particular areas in the soles of the feet. Foot reflexology uses hands, fingers and at times, wood sticks with cream and oil.  

  According to the Chinese, there are sensory nerves, which are concentrated on the soles of the feet. These foot massage points are the focus during a massage session as they help better the condition of the patient. The massage is effective in stimulating the functions of the internal organs. The good thing about foot massage reflexology is that there is no risk to this procedure and with expert masseurs clients are guaranteed to feel the pain disappear in a matter of seconds.  

  What then are the advantages of foot massage? For one, it helps relieve the stiffness caused by too much exercise or for repetitive use of the muscles. It can also prevent (if not cure) headaches, stress, asthma, constipation, sinusitis and even migraine. Add to this the benefits of boosting your circulatory system.  

  A foot massage has so many other advantages and it is no longer necessary to mention each one of them. It is important to note, however, that just like any kind of massage; there are restrictions to foot massage. Make sure to ask the spa or your masseur of the disadvantages before you agree to undergo a procedure.  ]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Jun 2008 03:08:55 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.massagechairsworld.com/massage/foot-massage-points/</link><guid>http://www.massagechairsworld.com/massage/foot-massage-points/</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pregnancy massage]]></title><description><![CDATA[  Pregnancy is one of the most uncomfortable times in the life of a woman. From the first trimester to the third, expectant mothers feel all kinds of aches and pains. As the stomach enlarges, a woman experiences backache, joint pains and it only gets worse as the pregnancy progresses. Add to this the stress brought about by the anxiety of labor and the act of giving birth, the worry about becoming a parent, the change of lifestyle and so on. As a relief, expectant mothers are suggested to get a pregnancy massage.  

  A pregnancy massage is different massage that one gets in a spa. The masseuse performing the massage will need to know special knowledge of the body as pregnant women are very sensitive. Also, masseurs will need to be careful when giving massages so as not to harm the baby. The intensity of the massage and the positioning of the mother’s body are all important.   

  If you are on your first trimester, you can still go on a spa with some of your girlfriends. For those who are over four months pregnant, you will need to hire a professional pregnancy masseuse. These are well trained professionals who specialize with pregnancy and postpartum massages. Pregnancy massages can be prenatal, postnatal. It is even more important during labor as it can sometimes help in the smooth delivery process.   

  Pregnancy massage therapy is an alternative approach. Its therapeutic value lies with the fact that it enhances the function of the muscles and joints and improves the circulation of blood. It also relieves mental and physical fatigue.   

  Prenatal massage is focused on relieving the many discomforts brought about by the pregnancy. It enhances the physiological and emotional well-being of the mother, preparing her for her new role. Through prenatal massage, mothers are more relaxed and this is helpful for the development of a healthy fetus. Aside from this, the massage also helps to strengthen the muscles, preparing it for natural delivery. The massage therapist often focuses on the woman’s neck, back and pelvic regions.   

  Postnatal massage, on the other hand, focuses on toning the new mother’s body. It helps reduce fluid retention, and bring the body back into shape. The massage also helps rejuvenate and reenergize the new mother, thereby allowing her to bond with her baby better.   

  Most masseurs recommend that pregnant mothers have pregnancy massage at least once a month to keep them revitalized until the baby’s birth. Of course, before you undergo a pregnancy massage, you should first consult your doctor to inquire if a massage is suitable for your condition. The main goal of a pregnancy massage is to keep the mother mentally and physically ready for the delivery of her child. If a pregnancy massage is not applicable, then the mother can always try other alternatives to keep her comfortable until the big night! Remember that pregnancy and childbirth is one of the most important times in a woman’s life, so make sure to be ready for it!
