Reflexology is an ancient practice that is thought to have been passed down as an oral healing tradition from one generation to the next. One of the first recordings was as a pictograph on the Egyptian tomb of Ankhamor in 2330 BC.
Massage therapy can really help when it comes to sore muscles and overall recovery processes, In fact, a recent study published in Science Translational Medicine found that even a short 10-minute Swedish massage can reduce inflammation, which can help stressed or sore muscles heal faster.

Have you been looking for a way to chase the blahs away? Because therapeutic massage is known for causing an endorphin release from the brain, many people walk away with an upbeat outlook.
A person of every age can benefit from the therapeutic touch of massage. From a gentle baby massage to ease colic to a deep tissue massage to relieve the pain of arthritis - the magic of massage is not exclusive.
Reflexology can also be referred to as zone therapy. This is because placement of the pressure during the massage is based on the premise that there are zones and reflex areas that affect other parts of the body.
In many cases, rolfing treatments (also called structural integration) are performed over a series of ten sessions. Through soft tissue manipulation and movement education, the client’s structure is retrained during this time.

While many people adhere to the “sound mind / sound body” approach to life, the Rolfing approach leans more towards the idea that “A sound body will create a sound mind.”
Rolfing restructures the muscle layers from the bones to the surface. The result is a balanced and centered posture in which you will sit and stand straighter and taller with less effort. You may also find that you breathe more easily and fully.

Because massage is a highly personal and individualized form of treatment, be open with your therapist. He or she wants to know what you like or don't like, if you want more or less pressure or prefer certain techniques over others.
Ensure your massage therapist is licensed and trained in the use of aromatherapy oils. This will help you get the full experience and benefit out of the massage.
