Get The Best Massage And Remedy Soreness Faster

Have you ever had a massage? Isn't it great? A wide variety of seasonings

, oils, mixes, rocks, tables, mats, clothed or not etc, many different body parts! A massage is applied by using the masseuses hands, fingers, elbows, knees, forearms or feet. Yes, feet! You can be walked on by someone, and if done properly it can feel good. To the modern American with no knowledge of massage, this can sound really questionable!

Records dating back to China, 5000 years ago show that this is not anything new. In fact, the ancient civilizations such as the Hindus, Persians and Egyptians applied forms of massage for many ailments; and the great Hippocrates wrote papers that recommended the use of rubbing and friction for joint and circulatory problems.

The art of massage is the manipulation of superficial layers of muscle and connective tissue. This is to enhance function and promote relaxation and well-being. It became popular in the US in the 1800's and grew in popularity until the 1930's and 40's. When modern medicine came to the forefront, the art of massage therapy became discounted as lesser than. Suddenly, it became popular again in the 1960's when nurses began to use it to relieve pain in patients. Suprisingly, in the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta it was deemed a core medical service. This gave more credence to it.

There are many ways of having a massage done. There are also many types of oils, seeds etc that can be used. A person receiving a massage may be on a mat, chair, or table, usually without clothes, but covered with towels or sheets. If one is uncomfortable with this, he/she may wear underwear. As far as remedies, oils may be used to cause relaxation or to stimulate blood flow. Body rocks, warm and cold coated in different sorts of oils such as fractionated coconut oil, grape seed oil, olive oil, macadamia oil, sesame oil, pecan oil and mustard and aromatherapy oils are also used. What a combination! A salad dressing of oils may help give you the best massage!

Reflexology is one of the many varieties of foot massage. This is from the ancient Chinese, and is based on knowing that the are nerve endings in the soles of the feet that relate to the entire body. Each internal organ has an ending in the foot. To apply pressure on a specific nerve ending will result in the stimulation and/or detoxification of the related internal organ. Maybe this is the best massage for you.

For me, as a mother of 3 girls aged 9 and under, I wish I had known about pregnancy massages when I was pregnant. This would have been the best massage and best gift I could have received. I had such weight gain putting stress on my bones and muscles, my sciatic nerve caused me immense pain with my first child. My second pregnancy put stress on my legs and back and my third left me exhausted, needing a massage - unfortunately, I didn't consider pregnancy massages. I now know that massages can help eliminate waste products from the mother through the lymphatic and circulatory system, thus giving the mother more energy. Find your favorite, best massage. It will enrich your life immensely!
