Touch is probably the oldest, most universal form of natural therapy. Some say that massage is in our genes, so innate is the need to soothe our woes with our hands.
Modern massage therapy is simply the refinement of this ancient practice. Today’s therapists use a range of time-tested techniques to promote wellness and encourage relaxation.
There are many different types of massage therapy. Although the philosophies and techniques may vary, the main objectives are always the same:
- promote muscle relaxation
- improve blood circulation and lymphatic flow
- facilitate digestion
- expel toxins
- revitalize the organs
- enhance the mind-body connection
- ease nervous tension
Although massage is mainly done with the hands, some therapists also use their feet, elbows and even their knees. Depending on the technique, a massage can involve the entire body or just one part. It can focus on anything from the skin, the muscles, the tendons and the ligaments, to points along the body’s meridians.
At Clinique Altermed, we specialize in several styles of massage. Which one is right for you?
- Shiatsu
- Sports massage
- Swedish massage
- La Trame ®
