| What Is Massage
Therapy? |
 Massage is one of the oldest, simplest
forms of therapy and is a system of stroking, pressing
and kneading different areas of the body to relieve
pain, relax, stimulate, and tone the body.Massage
does much more than create a pleasant sensation on
the skin, it also works on the soft tissues(the muscles,
tendons, and ligaments) to improve muscle tone.Although
it largely affects those muscles just under the skin,
its benefits may also reach the deeper layers of muscle
and possibly even the organs themselves.Massage also
stimulates blood circulation and assists the lymphatic
system (which runs parallel to the circulatory system),
improving the elimination of waste throughout the
body.
|
| Stroke And Pressure: There are a variety of different strokes used, ranging
from the most delicate touch with the fingertips to
focussed deep-tissue work. All strokes can be varied
in speed and pressure. Keeping hands relaxed, begin
working slowly and rhythmatically, gradually building
up speed and pressure as you experiment. In Kursani,
we believe that the best and effective massage have
to be deep tisue pressure stroke; in which the recepient
will feel the pain and pleasure - that is the most
enjoyable type!
|
 Whatvever type of massage and stroke used, there
are some basic points to be observe in order to avoid
harmful effect and to gain maximum health benefit
of it::
1.As a general rule, strokes should be made firmly
in the direction of the heart, and then lightly for
the return stroke.
2.By varying their intensity, strokes can be used
either to stimulate or relax.
3.Ideally the reciever should experience the massage
as one long series of rhythmic strokes.

The Effects Of Massage:
 Although a single massage will be enjoyable, the effects
of massage are cumulative and a course of massage
treatments will bring the most benefits.Regular massage
can have the effect of strengthening and toning the
entire body mechanism, and so help to prevent unnecessary
strains and injuries that might otherwise occur due
to excess tension and any resulting structural weaknesses.Massage
can stimulate or calm the nervous system-depending
upon what is required by the individual-and thus help
reduce fatigue, leaving the reciever with a feeling
of replenished energy.At its best, massage has the
potential to restore the individual physically, mentally
and spiritually. |

| What Massage Can Treat : |
| Massage therapy melts away stress and
tension, relieving associated headaches and muscular
aches & pains. By encouraging the body's own healing
processes to act, massage therapy, reduces injury
healing time. Massage therapy aids in the healing
process from injury or over-use, and is an excellent
form of preventive health care. |
