Massage is a general term for pressing, rubbing and manipulating your skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments. Studies of the benefits of massage demonstrate that it is an effective treatment for reducing stress, pain and muscle tension. There are many different types of massage. The massage techniques utilized at Inner Space incorporate many parts of the therapist’s body – thumbs, palms, elbows, and even feet and knees – to pull, press, and stretch the soft tissue of the recipient.
The massage may take place on massage table, chair or maybe on a floor mat. This is to give the therapist more flexibility in performing the stretches on your body.
Beyond the physical benefits for treating specific conditions or diseases, people enjoy massage because it often produces feelings of caring, comfort and connection.
Massage also promotes general health and well-being. On the preventive side it activates a free flow of energy, improving fluid circulation, digestion, breathing capacity, body posture, flexibility. On the therapeutic side it can treat a large number of pathologies such as lower back pain, headaches, digestive problems, stress, insomnia, nervous imbalance, neck & shoulder muscular tightness… and so much more.
