Manipulative Massage Therapy: Your Alternative To Whisk Away Body Pains

Health is the soul that animates all the enjoyments of life

, which fade and are tasteless without it, says Lucius Annaeus Seneca, the Roman philosopher. His quote reflects the necessity for man to make health embrace vigor with the optimum aftermath at all times. Countless patients of various illness become consumers of health industry covering surgery, pharmacy, medical testing and nursing. And withal, there are those who try to be manipulative of therapy who use ancient and oriental massage therapy also known as acupuncture, acupressure, yoga, meditation and cupping.

Manipulative therapy is popular as a complement to the scientifically accepted medicine of the times. If you had visited a Chinese shiatsu boutique you would see potions of herbal oil, massage tools, reclining chairs and various electronic massaging devices, where people come to get rid of their cramps, rheumatism, indigestion, and headache. With various techniques originating from China, India and South East Asian sources, manipulative therapy holds many techniques for treatment.

Acupuncture

Originating from the Shang dynasty of ancient china, acupuncture uses sterilized needles about 5 cm in length to partially prick into various parts of the body feet, soles, limb, kneecap, facial points, shoulder and abdomen. It has been reported to relieve post nausea, post operative pain, rheumatism, childbirth and vomiting by correcting the imbalances in qi, the meridian and yin-yang. Acupuncture gained acceptance from respected organizations such as WHO World Health Organization and National Health Service and scientific research papers for its role in relieving certain types of pain like post-operative nausea; although, there are still conflicting scientific reviews that it has little effects on treatments. Acupuncture is now practiced worldwide and can be found in manipulative therapy clinics specifically in Canada as Acupuncture of Victoria in BC, TOM in Victoria BC and RMT Saanich BC.

Massage Therapy

Its relaxing and invigorating effect had been reported to relieve stress, minor muscle pain, post operative conditions and to promote general well being. The art of massage is now popularly synonymous with shiatsu, Swedish, hilot and ayurvedic massage and more than a dozen names that differ from hand movement or tools used. Massage therapy uses body tools and hand movements to apply pressure to various muscular body parts namely, fingers, hand, joints, spine, leg, limbs, kneecap, fascia, tendons, abdomen and torso. In addition, a registered massage therapist may use electronic massaging chairs, lubricants, herbal oils, floral petals, electrical stimulator and shower. Scientifically proven to promote health, massage is now regulated in western and eastern countries, and for example, if you search in Victoria BC for Registered Massage therapy or Registered Massage Therapy in Saanich BC you may find that masseuse services are regulated by the state with state board licenses named Registered Massage Therapist.

Moxibustion

Another technique is called moxibustion, which is the burning of mugwort (artemesia vulgaris, a herbal plant common to Southeast Asia) placed unto needles in acupuncture points. Chinese health practitioners of ancient times mention the health benefits of moxa treatments for ulcer, fetus breech position and blood circulation. The artemesia leaf skewered at the end of the needle and burned until it touches the skin.

Moreover as seen in Japanese, Korean and Chinese medicine, cupping is a technique of creating suction by introducing heat inside the glass cup to induce cooling which creates a mild vacuum. It was used to treat anemia, fungal skin infections, circulation and rheumatism.

Finally, the abovementioned therapies are just a few methods used. There are hundreds of techniques used varying from country to country, for instance ayurvedic is to India, and hilot is to Philippines. Nevertheless, they have the same goal, that is, to promote longevity, prevent diseases and provide vigorous health.
