Massage is the oldest known healing art and predates orthodox medicine and all other complementary therapies. Massage is unique in being both a healing technique and an instinctive means of expression between humans and animals. Massage helps you to remember the loving touch of your mother when you were a baby and in this stressful world we adults can forget this experience.
Massage dissolves the physical tension from the body and helps to reduce chronic or acute stress - so preventing the onset of illness.
We use touch without thinking of it as massage. Touch is an effective means of reducing pain such as a headache and giving comfort. The benefits of quality touch include its phenomenal ability to redress the ravages of stress on the body. In the East, massage has always been part of a valued tradition, it is a part of family life. In the West, by contrast, medicine continues to isolate physical symptoms from the person as a whole.
