Massage
Massage Therapy is a great way for anyone who suffers with sports injuries, stress, repetitive strains, or over all tightness to release the tension thru manipulation of the muscles.
Therapeutic Massage is a technique that uses pressure on "trigger points" in the muscles, to relax them, causing less pain in the body and better quality of life. This type of massage does not necessarily have to be deep, but generally when reaching the more internal muscles and tissue there will be pressure and sometimes discomfort.
When coming in for a massage there is a health questionaire that is filled out by the patient, so that the therapist can fully understand what the areas of concern are. This is needed, in order to massage with care and with the appropriate amount of pressure. The relationship between the therapist and the patient is a close one, as there needs to be communication during the massage to find out if there is pain or just good old fashion discomfort!!!
During most massage sessions the patient will undress (the practitioner has left the room)and lay on a very comfortable masssage table, under a sheet. Once the therapist enters the room again, there is full draping with the sheet, so that the patient feels comfortable and they are not fully exposed.
At Divine Health, massage is an integral part of the over all health experience. Everyone whether or not they believe that they need it, can always benefit from the loosening and de-stressing of the body. There are very few other modalities to really reach the deep parts of the muscles. Massage is a real hands on approach to health.
