The Art of Healing Massage

The benefits of getting a properly done massage is only something that someone who has received one can fully appreciate. When the muscles that are in our body, especially our backs and necks, get tight, and sore, it affects us in ways that we aren’t even fully aware of. Stiff muscles and tightness can contribute to symptoms ranging from headaches, all the way to general anxiety. Having a properly executed massage performed on you can benefit you in ways you can’t even imagine, that is, until you’ve had it done! You can feel tension and anxiety just melt away. You’re transported to another place where you haven’t a care in the world. It can also increase blood circulation, and helps with head and neck pain.

Another exciting thing about massages is that anyone can learn how to give, or perform one. To gain this knowledge will make you, not only a very popular person, but one who possesses a gift that few have. This is why it can be a very good way to make a living. To learn to massage is to bring peace into other peoples lives through the art of therapy.

There are several videos and learn at home DVDs available for purchase online that teach the art of learning to massage. With the aid of these tools, and some dedication, you can quickly learn to perform several types of massages, including facial massages, head massages, and full body massages. The benefit of training yourself at home is huge. This gives you immense knowledge without the costly expense of outside schooling. Knowledge that you can use for yourself as well as share with others.

To learn how to properly give a massage is to bring healing into peoples lives. In addition to bringing peace, healing, comfort and calm to peoples lives, you can at the same time make a substantial income. An average massage therapist can charge anywhere from £50-75 ($75-100) So as you can see, with the proper training, and a steady line of clientele, the earning potential can be outstanding.

Do yourself, and the people that you love a favour and learn the art of giving an incredible massage. It’s easy, and it’s fun, and you’ll be glad you did.

Would a massage help heal a bruised back or hurt it more?

I fell on flat on my back 6 nights ago from a 4 foot fall. It feels extremely sore still, and it hurts to carry heavy things. Would a massage help it heal faster or delay the healing process? What can I do to help my back heal besides going to a doctor (no health insurance)?

There isn’t much of anything you can do to speed up the healing of a bruise other than keeping hydrated. Going to a doctor also provides no benefit unless you are worried that you have more than a bruise. Severe bruises may take 10-12 days for the bruise to disappear, and maybe another 2 weeks for the muscle tissue to heal completely.

Things that increase circulation to the bruised area help a little, but not significantly. Two things that increase circulation are application of ice packs in cycles of 15-20 minutes on, and a half-hour off; and whirlpool bath jets directed at the bruise, You definitely do not want to deep massage to a bruised area until the bruise has healed – maybe 4-6 days from now, deep massage, moist heat, and stretching would be helpful, but probably not at this time. Use pain as the guide – if touching the bruise causes pain, then it’s too soon to start working the muscles. It’s OK to work the muscles when they are still a little sore when you use them.

Description

This popular design reflects years of feedback from massage therapists, chiropractors, and physical therapists. With 11 therapy knobs, the Body Back Buddy stimulates in between muscles and pinpoints trigger points for a more finely-tuned treatment. Engineered to be lightweight, strong and easy to use. Combines the best of the Body Back Buddy features for those who want the ultimate self massage tool. Overall length is 25 . Comes with a free 12 page instruction booklet. Directions: Hook the Body Back Buddy massage tool over your shoulder or around your side to treat hard to reach areas of the back, neck and shoulders. Hold it comfortably by the handles or the frame so that the therapy knob touches the affected muscle. Push away from your body with your lower or outside hand while guiding the therapy knob with the upper or inside hand. This leveraging technique creates self-directed pressure to the targeted muscle. You can also use the Body Back Buddy to apply healing pressure to many other parts of the body such as your legs, arms, feet, chest and hips. Its versatility allows you to approach each muscle from many angles in creative ways. Since there are hundreds of ways to use the Body Back Buddy, take a moment to experiment and find out what works best for you. Use it standing, sitting, lying down or with a partner. Place the therapy knob on the sore muscle (trigger point) and apply what you consider to be a comfortable amount of pressure. When this muscle compression is released it stimulates a therapeutic response. Pressure preferences vary from one person to another deep and intense or gentle and relaxing. However, only apply as much pressure as you feel comfortable with. More pressure is not necessarily better! Ten to thirty seconds is normally enough time to elicit a therapeutic response in the muscle.

Features

  • Can be used effectively over the entire body to treat aches, pains, and sore muscles
  • Alleviates pain and stress due to fibromyalgia and other chronic muscle conditions
  • Apply pressure to trigger points, and along the spine
  • Deep, powerful and strong pressure, that you control
