What
is Massage Therapy ? Trust and Touch
Much of the healing takes place through compassionate touch and listening, as well as the person allowing himself the time for treatment. We can see this in the way a child wants a hug when she is in pain or feeling insecure that magic kiss on a sore knee can make the difference. As adults, we experience comfort through touch, particularly when in difficulty. This touching is not learned behavior, but rather something instinctive. A large part of the effectiveness of Massage Therapy is the trust between the practitioner and the receiver. With trust, the receiver can relax and, in this state of relaxation, the body no longer needs to “hold on”. Once this happens, the reason for the holding on can come to the surface. Massage can therefore be useful in getting to the underlying causes of physical and emotional discomfort. The more we push against the way things are, the more resistance is built up; the more support we get the more trust we build.

Body Rolling Routines you can do in just a few minutes for specific parts of the body. Starting where each muscle begins, at the point called its origin, you roll toward its insertion, the point where it attaches to the bone that it moves, creating space in the articulations above and below the group of muscles being rolled. Use a six to ten inch diameter inflatable ball to stretch muscles, freeing restrictions in all parts of the body, increasing blood flow, and promoting healing. body rolling ???
