Massage
Nothing says de-stress and relax quite like a massage. Just the idea of
having sore, stiff, and stressed muscles slowly rubbed and kneaded is
relaxing to most people. Throw in the image of a massage on a white tropical
beach and warm ocean breezes and the ultimate massage fantasy is complete.
But just why is a massage such a sought after and relaxing event? A
massage is the practice of applying pressure, either manually or
mechanically, to the soft tissue of the body such as muscles, tendons,
ligaments, connective tissue, and joints to relieve tension and stress. A
form of therapy, massage can be applied to parts of the body or successively
to the whole body, to aid the process of injury healing, relieve
psychological stress, manage pain, and improve circulation. Where massage is
used for its physiological, mental, and mechanical benefits, it may be
termed "therapeutic massage" or manipulative therapy. If you are
