The Magic of Lomi Lomi Massage: Is It For Real?

If you have not yet experienced a Lomi Lomi massage, let us introduce you to what you have been missing.

The magic of Lomi Lomi goes far beyond the physical body. Although its literal meaning in Hawaii (where it originated) is to push, pull and knead, its grace and flowing strokes, combined with the intention of Aloha (unconditional universal love), mixed with some Hawaiian magic, allows true surrender, balance, healing and transformation to take place. It benefits not only the physical body, but also the emotional, mental and heart space.

The history of Lomi Lomi

Lomi Lomi originated in Hawaii, where families routinely massaged each other to maintain good health, a strong body and a balance of body, mind and spirit. Receiving Lomi Lomi on a regular basis kept one connected to spirit (mana) and open-heartedness (aloha). The harmony of all energies maintained a strong constitution and prevented illness. This is in stark contrast to our western society today, where some parents don’t tend to touch their children in a healing, sensual and loving way. In fact, touch has become taboo in many ways. Our experience has shown that many people who are drawn to learn Lomi Lomi do so specifically to massage and heal their family and extended loved ones.

In the last 10 years this ancient healing modality has reached many shores outside of Polynesia and is respected as a sacred gift by those who teach and practice it.

Therapists are drawn to the sensual/loving and therapeutic aspects of this work as it allows for a deeper sacred bond with the client, which allows for mutual trust and authentic healing of the mind, body and spirit. This sacred bond allows the massage therapist to feel what the client is feeling, which is the difference between a relaxing treatment and a transformational one – with long lasting results. It puts you in touch on a deep kinesthetic level and allows you to communicate with the body, restoring what needs to be restored and releasing what needs to be released. Acting as a conduit for mana, the therapist can do this work for many hours if necessary, their focus, breath, presence and flow keeping them energised and effective. Working with the breath as a tool sets Lomi Lomi apart from other bodywork modalities, as the breath is the life force.

The benefits of Lomi Lomi

The rhythmic strokes and graceful hula movements performed by a Lomi Lomi therapist with a loving heart provide a wide range of health benefits. This type of massage increases range of motion, improves energy flow, enhances lymph flow and creates a sense of balance. It also has several emotional benefits as it releases energy blockages that cause a variety of conditions, including:

Muscle tension
Stress
High blood pressure
Sinusitis
Migraine headaches
Arthritis
Glaucoma
Phobias and anxiety
Cancer

Lomi Lomi can be used alone or in conjunction with other therapies such as acupuncture, chiropractic and osteopathic medicine.

The principles of Huna

Lomi Lomi is as much a spiritual practice as it is a manual therapy. Lomi Lomi practitioners believe that illness is caused by an imbalance of mental, physical and spiritual energies. They also believe that stress has a strong effect on health; stress causes an imbalance between these three sources of energy. A Lomi Lomi massage session can help restore harmony to these energies, allowing the body to heal itself from illness and maintain wellness.

During a treatment session, the therapist applies HUNA principles while massaging specific pressure points to ensure healing on a physical and spiritual level. Most Hawaiian massage training includes HUNA (the Hawaiian philosophy of life) and many Lomi Lomi practitioners will incorporate Huna into their treatments and their lives.

The seven principles of Huna are as follows:

IKE
The world is what you think it is
Be aware

KALA
There are no limits
Be free

MAKIA
Energy flows where attention goes

MANAWA
Now is the moment of power
Be here

ALOHA
To love is to be happy
Be happy

MANA
All power comes from within
Be confident

PONO
Efficiency is the measure of truth
Be positive

The differences between Lomi Lomi and regular massage

What is the difference between Lomi Lomi and regular massage (we assume that regular massage includes healing massage, Swedish massage, sports massage and deep tissue massage)? Like other types of massage, it is done with oil and on a massage table.

However, the difference begins with the connection that is made between the practitioner and the client. The practitioner opens to universal energy/love and tunes in to the client’s body, energy and emotional needs. This creates a safe environment which the client immediately feels and begins to let go. In Lomi Lomi, the practitioner works with their hands as an instrument of their heart and therefore massages with an open heart.

The process of Lomi Lomi

Most of the client’s body is exposed, but a sarong is used to maintain modesty. This allows for uninterrupted, long flowing strokes in a continuous dance-like motion over the entire body.

The breath is used to maintain focus and energy flow. Through these flowing movements, the practitioner gradually dissolves layers of stored tension and emotional memory. This allows any blockages to be released and mana (life force energy) to vibrate throughout the entire being. As a side effect, the heart surrenders and opens, and a sense of connection to everyone and everything is often experienced.

The other secret of this bodywork is that the whole body is massaged. It is a holistic treatment, so when you massage the neck, the energy moves to the shoulders and so on. In other words, the back, front, face, arms and feet all receive healing. This is always explained to the client before they get on the table.

This works with the idea that the nervous, venous and respiratory systems are all balanced through lymphatic drainage and the release of toxins, helping to unblock and restore the body to its natural state… bringing pure bliss.

Если вы еще не пробовали массаж ломи-ломи, позвольте нам познакомить вас с тем, что вы упускали.

Магия ломи-ломи выходит далеко за пределы физического тела. Хотя буквальное значение этого массажа на Гавайях (где он и зародился) – надавливать, тянуть и разминать, его изящные и плавные движения в сочетании с намерением Алохи (безусловной всеобщей любви), смешанным с гавайской магией, позволяют добиться истинной сдачи, баланса, исцеления и трансформации. Она приносит пользу не только физическому телу, но и эмоциональному, ментальному и сердечному пространству.

История ломи-ломи

Ломи-ломи зародилась на Гавайях, где семьи регулярно делали друг другу массаж для поддержания хорошего здоровья, крепкого тела и баланса тела, ума и духа. Регулярный прием ломи-ломи поддерживал связь с духом (мана) и открытым сердцем (алоха). Гармония всех энергий поддерживала крепкое телосложение и предотвращала болезни. Это резко контрастирует с современным западным обществом, где некоторые родители не стремятся прикасаться к своим детям с исцеляющей, чувственной и любящей точки зрения. На самом деле, прикосновения во многих отношениях стали табу. Наш опыт показывает, что многие люди, желающие изучать Ломи-Ломи, делают это специально для того, чтобы делать массаж и исцелять свою семью и близких.

За последние 10 лет этот древний метод лечения достиг многих берегов за пределами Полинезии и пользуется уважением как священный дар у тех, кто его преподает и практикует.

Терапевтов привлекают чувственные/любовные и терапевтические аспекты этой работы, поскольку они позволяют установить более глубокую священную связь с клиентом, что способствует взаимному доверию и подлинному исцелению разума, тела и духа. Эта сакральная связь позволяет массажисту чувствовать то, что чувствует клиент, что является разницей между расслабляющей процедурой и преобразующей – с долгосрочными результатами. Массаж позволяет установить контакт на глубоком кинестетическом уровне и общаться с телом, восстанавливая то, что нужно восстановить, и освобождая то, что нужно освободить. Действуя как проводник маны, терапевт при необходимости может выполнять эту работу в течение многих часов, а его сосредоточенность, дыхание, присутствие и поток поддерживают его энергичность и эффективность. Работа с дыханием как инструментом отличает ломи-ломи от других модальностей работы с телом, поскольку дыхание – это жизненная сила.

Преимущества ломи-ломи

Ритмичные поглаживания и грациозные движения хула, выполняемые терапевтом Ломи-Ломи с любовью в сердце, приносят широкий спектр пользы для здоровья. Этот вид массажа увеличивает амплитуду движений, улучшает поток энергии, усиливает лимфоток и создает ощущение баланса. Он также имеет ряд эмоциональных преимуществ, поскольку освобождает энергетические блокировки, которые вызывают различные заболевания, в том числе:

Мышечное напряжение
Стресс
Высокое кровяное давление
Синусит
Мигрень
Артрит
Глаукома
Фобии и тревожность
Рак.

Ломи-ломи может использоваться самостоятельно или в сочетании с другими методами лечения, такими как акупунктура, хиропрактика и остеопатическая медицина.

Принципы Хуна

Ломи-ломи – это не только духовная практика, но и мануальная терапия. Практикующие ломи-ломи верят, что болезни вызваны дисбалансом ментальной, физической и духовной энергий. Они также считают, что стресс оказывает сильное влияние на здоровье; стресс вызывает дисбаланс между этими тремя источниками энергии. Сеанс массажа ломи-ломи может помочь восстановить гармонию этих энергий, позволяя организму излечиться от болезней и поддерживать хорошее самочувствие.

Во время сеанса массажист применяет принципы HUNA, массируя определенные точки давления, чтобы обеспечить исцеление на физическом и духовном уровне. Большинство курсов гавайского массажа включают в себя HUNA (гавайскую философию жизни), и многие практикующие ломи-ломи включают Huna в свои процедуры и в свою жизнь.

Семь принципов ХУНА заключаются в следующем:

IKE
Мир таков, каким вы его считаете
Будьте осведомлены.

KALA
Нет никаких ограничений
Будь свободен

МАКИЯ
Энергия течет туда, куда направлено внимание

МАНАВА
Сейчас – момент силы
Будь здесь

ALOHA
Любить – значит быть счастливым
Будьте счастливы

MANA
Вся сила исходит изнутри
Будь уверен в себе

PONO
Эффективность – мерило истины
Будь позитивным

Различия между ломи-ломи и обычным массажем

В чем разница между ломи-ломи и обычным массажем (мы предполагаем, что к обычному массажу относятся лечебный, шведский, спортивный и массаж глубоких тканей)? Как и другие виды массажа, он выполняется с использованием масла и на массажном столе.

Однако разница начинается с связи, которая устанавливается между практикующим и клиентом. Практикующий открывается универсальной энергии/любви и настраивается на тело, энергию и эмоциональные потребности клиента. Это создает безопасную среду, которую клиент сразу же чувствует и начинает отпускать. В ломи-ломи практикующий работает руками как инструментом своего сердца и поэтому делает массаж с открытым сердцем.

Процесс ломи-ломи

Большая часть тела клиента обнажена, но для сохранения скромности используется саронг. Это позволяет выполнять непрерывные, длинные плавные поглаживания по всему телу, напоминающие танец.

Дыхание используется для поддержания концентрации и потока энергии. С помощью плавных движений практикующий постепенно растворяет слои накопившегося напряжения и эмоциональной памяти. Это позволяет высвободить все блокировки, а мана (энергия жизненной силы) вибрирует во всем теле. Как побочный эффект, сердце отдается и открывается, и часто возникает ощущение связи со всеми и со всем.

Другой секрет этой работы с телом заключается в том, что массируется все тело. Это целостная процедура, поэтому, когда вы массируете шею, энергия переходит на плечи и так далее. Другими словами, исцеление получают спина, передняя часть тела, лицо, руки и ноги. Это всегда объясняется клиенту перед тем, как он ложится на стол.

Это работает на основе идеи, что нервная, венозная и дыхательная системы уравновешиваются благодаря лимфатическому дренажу и выделению токсинов, помогая разблокировать и восстановить естественное состояние организма… принося чистое блаженство.

Different Types of Massage Techniques You Should Experience

 

There are different types of massage offered by individuals and clinics around the world. Experiencing them would help you discover which type works best for your individual body.

In this article, we will discuss 10 of the most popular types of massage performed by therapists and their unique benefits.

 

What is massage therapy?

 

Provided by a registered massage therapist, massage therapy is a hands-on technique that involves therapeutic kneading, manipulation and movement of muscles, tendons and ligaments.

The massage therapist applies varying degrees of pressure with his or her hands to improve blood flow and tension in the soft tissues involved, helping to reduce muscular tension as well as facilitating relaxation of the nervous system for an overall mental and physical relaxation experience.

Certain types of massage that have a more therapeutic purpose are more likely to be performed by an RMT (Registered Massage Therapist), such as sports massage, prenatal massage and deep tissue massage.

Other massages, which typically have a more relaxing purpose in a spa setting, are performed by those who are not registered. However, this is a generalisation and there are certainly exceptions.

 

Benefits of massage therapy:

 

There are many known benefits of massage therapy. However, we will discuss a few of them here in this article and leave the rest to you.

You can find more information online by simply searching for “massage therapy benefits”. Here are some of the known benefits of massage therapy

  • Improve blood flow and facial smoothness
  • Reduce muscle spasms
  • Improving function and mobility
  • Providing an exercise programme to help return to full function
  • Improve sleep quality and mood
  • Reduce stress and tension in the body.

Different types of massage can have different effects on different people. It is good to learn about them and even experience a few to know which works best for your body.

 

The types of massage we are going to look at today are

 

Deep Tissue Massage:

Deep tissue massages are meant to be deep and intense. They are used when you have old chronic muscle tension and pain, or simply when you enjoy and respond well to a deep tissue massage.

This technique is used to break up scar tissue and muscle adhesions. Deep tissue massage helps to pinpoint specific areas and uses broader strokes to target deeper muscles and tissues.

Based on our clinical experience, deep tissue massage is not for everyone. Avoid if you have sensitive joints, inflammation or autoimmune conditions as the pressure can aggravate some conditions.

Sports massage:

Sports massages are designed to treat and assess specific sports-related injuries. These types of massages are more likely to be performed by registered massage therapists with an orthopaedic approach or those who have a passion for sports massage.

As an athlete, it’s important to treat your injuries as they happen and not “wait for them to go away”. Sports massage can both speed up your healing and prevent your injury from becoming chronic and affecting your performance.

Massage therapy is an effective treatment for sports injuries and athletes.
Our registered massage therapist, Harold Keech, has a passion for treating sports injuries using an orthopaedic approach. He has treated and healed many athletes over the years and looks forward to seeing how he can help you.

Prenatal massage:

A prenatal massage is like a regular massage, but with certain restrictions and techniques. Pregnant women often experience swollen hands and feet, joint pain, nerve pain and general tension as the body goes through hormonal changes.

An experienced therapist will be aware of these factors and will tailor the massage to the individual needs of the pregnant woman. In addition, equipment such as a pregnancy pillow and a special treatment table will make the massage experience much more comfortable if you request a prenatal massage.

In addition to massage therapy, chiropractic care during pregnancy would also benefit both mother and baby.

Swedish massage:

If you have had a massage before, you have probably experienced the Swedish massage technique. This technique involves using a sliding lotion or massage oil with broad strokes to improve circulation and work out any tension in the body.

Swedish massage is often used as an introduction or for general relaxation.

Thai massage:

A Thai massage is for those looking for a more active form of massage. Thai massage is beneficial for improving flexibility, circulation and energy levels as the practitioner uses a series of body movements to stretch and twist in different positions.

Reflexology:

Reflexology is the use of firm and specific pressure on the hands, feet and ears. It is believed and researched that certain points on our hands, feet and ears correlate with various functions of our body, particularly our visceral organs.

Reflexology is an alternative treatment that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet.
Studies have shown reflexology to be particularly beneficial for anxiety, reducing fatigue and improving sleep quality.

Hot Stone Massage:

Certainly more of a spa massage experience, body workers can use correctly set temperature stones to help loosen tissues and be able to apply firmer pressure with less discomfort.

This massage is often used in conjunction with a manual massage and is not usually used on its own.

Trigger point massage:

This massage technique involves more targeted and deeper pressure on specific points on the body that happen to hold extra tension, or what some refer to as “muscle knots”.

A muscle knot is a painful or tender spot in a muscle. It feels tight and sore and is often found in the upper back or legs. They’re not usually harmful, but they can be uncomfortable. In rare cases, muscle knots are a sign of long-term (or chronic) pain.

Knots can prevent proper circulation and cause pain and discomfort either when moving a particular muscle or sometimes even when standing still.

Trigger point massage involves less broad strokes and more sustained deep pressure on painful areas until the practitioner feels the muscle knot release under the hands.

The practitioner will usually hold the pressure for up to 30 seconds, or until the patient indicates that the pain has decreased on the pressure scale, and then repeat until the tissue has completely released.

Shiatsu massage:

Dating back hundreds of years, the Chinese combined this type of massage with other healing techniques such as acupuncture and cupping to relieve pain.

Shiatsu massage is based on a psychosocial model that includes emotional, physiological and spiritual well-being. It may combine the use of feet and stretches similar to yoga for pain relief.

Aromatherapy massage:

Any type of massage described above can include aromatherapy, which is the use of pure essential oils on the body that serve different purposes on the nervous system.

Aromatherapy consists of using essential oils and the art of massage therapy as a treatment.

Some essential oils have calming and anxiety-reducing effects, such as lavender, vetiver and neroli. Others can help with sore muscles, such as peppermint and pine.

Aromatherapy massage is a way to enhance your massage experience by adding the aspect of scent and the benefits of pure essential oils.

Medical massage:

A medical massage is a result-oriented massage. It is the most common type given by RMTs as it involves an assessment and clinical evaluation of a specific condition.

This massage is best suited for those who have a specific medical condition or sports injury and are seeking professional help to treat their condition. This massage is less relaxing and more therapeutic.

Couples massage:

A couple’s massage can involve any of the massage techniques described above, but both partners are present at the same time and each has their own practitioner working on them.

This type of massage can encourage a romantic bond between two partners and help them to relax and take their minds off everyday problems.

Couples massages are mostly offered in spas or relaxation-type facilities and are rarely performed by a registered massage therapist.

Lymphatic massage:

Myofascial Lymphatic Drainage, also known as MLD, is a specific massage technique that focuses on the lymphatic vessels that carry toxins that can build up in the body from a cold or an inflammatory episode.

MLD is used to stimulate the movement of lymphatic fluid in the body, helping to remove excess fluid from an area that may be swollen or at risk of infection. This massage involves gently applying pressure to the lymph nodes and staying on the surface for manual drainage.

Lymph is the watery fluid that flows through your lymphatic system. Lymph (pronounced “limf”) helps your lymphatic system support your overall health, from providing nutrients to cells and tissues to protecting your body from foreign invaders such as viruses, bacteria and cancer cells.

MLD massages are excellent for improving the flow of lymph, which can become constricted and blocked as a result of a strong immune response, for example after a bad bout of flu, or an injury such as bursitis or sprained ankle.

15 Popular Massage Techniques for Every Issue

Massage therapy is a popular healing technique that has been used for thousands of years, dating back to 3000 BC. The Hindus believed that massage therapy could cure diseases as it was part of their sacred natural healing system. It has since become popular worldwide, but it is more than a trend, as massage therapy has scientifically proven health benefits.

 

There are more than 50 massage techniques, each with its own unique characteristics and benefits. This article will discuss the 15 most popular ones and the different problems they help to solve. But before we do, let’s take a look at what massage therapy is and the significant benefits it offers.

 

What is Massage Therapy?

 

Massage therapy involves using a combination of rubbing, stroking, pressure, and sometimes, heat to manipulate the skin, tendons, ligaments and tissues in the body. The massage therapist can alternate between gentle and strong pressure during a massage to help ease tension and pain in different parts of the body. As stated earlier, multiple massage techniques focus on other body parts and have different healing methods. Plus, massage therapy offers long-term health benefits, making it an integral part of complementary medicine.

 

Major Benefits of Massage Therapy:

 

Some of the health benefits of massage therapy, according to recent scientific studies, are highlighted below:

 

Pain management
Boosts immune system function
Provides relief for carpal tunnel syndrome
Anxiety and stress management
Improves sleep quality
Decreases inflammation
Eases chronic tension headache

 

Popular massage techniques for every problem.

 

1. Sports massage:

 

Sports massage is a technique used for people with physically demanding hobbies or lifestyles, such as athletes or fitness trainers. This massage technique is generally used to release muscular tension, reduce pain and mobilise soft tissues, as sports massage therapists consider the effects of different activities on parts of the body.

 

Athletes and active people can use sports massage as part of their training programme to improve performance and reduce the risk of injury. Post-operative and physiotherapy patients can also benefit from the healing effects of sports massage.

 

Despite the name, this massage technique is suitable for everyone, whether you are a professional athlete or lead a sedentary lifestyle. Sports massage is essential for improving recovery and injury rehabilitation and can be applied at different times – pre-event, post-event or as part of the training programme.

 

This massage technique can be tailored to the challenges and needs of the individual, allowing the massage therapist to identify and treat specific physical problems. Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is a common problem faced by athletes and physically active people and is caused by a number of different factors.

 

Sports massage helps to treat this problem by removing waste products and increasing blood and oxygen flow to the body.

 

2. Deep Tissue:

 

Deep tissue massage is a popular massage technique that focuses on controlling the deep layers of muscle and connective tissue. Most people choose this massage technique to treat musculoskeletal problems, chronic pain or sports injuries, as it involves breaking up scar tissue that forms after an injury or surgery.

 

During a deep tissue massage, the massage therapist uses deep and slow strokes to release tension from the deep layers of muscle, and this type of massage is suitable for persistently tight areas such as the neck, shoulders and back.

 

Deep tissue massage helps to increase joint mobility, improve injury recovery, reduce pain and improve posture and flexibility.

 

The difference between deep tissue massage and other techniques is that deep tissue massage applies more pressure to areas of high tension. In most cases, ice can be applied to the area after the massage to help with tenderness and stiffness.

 

Also, deep tissue massage is not suitable for everyone, especially people with blood clotting disorders, nerve damage, skin conditions, increased risk of injury and the elderly.

 

3. Swedish massage:

 

Swedish massage is a full-body massage technique used to release tension and relax the whole body. This technique is best for those who have a lot of tension, are sensitive to touch and are new to massage therapy, as it focuses on stimulating nerve endings and improving circulation in superficial muscle layers. Swedish massage is one of the most popular massage therapy techniques and uses different massage techniques such as kneading, rubbing, stroking, gliding and tapping. In addition, Swedish massage therapists use long strokes to mimic the body’s natural circulation, removing toxins and increasing blood and oxygen flow.

 

Swedish massage therapy combines body repair and relaxation in one, which is one of the reasons it is so popular. This massage technique has several benefits such as reducing muscle pain and stiffness, increasing flexibility, relieving constipation, improving sleep quality and strengthening the immune system. Swedish massage therapists also apply moisturisers and aromatic oils to your skin during the massage session, and the session is usually done on a massage table, where you’ll need to be undressed except for your underwear.

 

4. Hot stone massage:

 

The hot stone massage technique is derived from the Swedish massage technique and involves the use of hot stones to perform the massage procedure. Contrary to what most people believe, the hot stones will not burn or scratch the skin, as the stones used are not random types of stone. Basalt, a type of volcanic rock, is often used for this massage technique as it retains heat when heated to up to 150 degrees Fahrenheit.

 

During the massage process, the massage therapist will place different sizes of stones on the part of the body they are working on, and some of the places where stones are typically placed include the chest, spine, stomach, feet, hands and face.

 

Swedish massage therapists use a combination of kneading, circular motions, tapping, long strokes and vibration during the massage session to release muscle tension and stimulate the body. The stones are usually warmed over a fire before being placed on the body, but are not heated to the point where they can burn the skin. The hot stone massage technique is commonly used to treat soft tissue and damaged muscles, and some of the benefits of this technique include improved immunity, improved sleep, pain relief, increased flexibility, stress reduction and improved circulation.

 

Unlike the typical heat compress, the hot stones retain the heat longer, allowing it to penetrate deeper into the muscle. Furthermore, this massage technique is open to everyone as there are no age restrictions.

 

5. Aromatherapy massage:

 

The aromatherapy massage technique incorporates the use of essential oils into the massage. It combines gentle and firm pressure while using different blends of essential oils. Aromatherapy massage helps to improve mood, manage pain and induce relaxation.

 

Massage therapists usually apply the diluted essential oils along with lotion to the skin during the massage, and it is claimed that these essential oils help to enhance the benefits of the different massage techniques. In addition, some of the essential oils used for this technique include orange, chamomile, ginger, lemon, lavender, tea tree, peppermint, cedar, eucalyptus, bergamot and others. Some therapists also use CBD oils in their therapy (if the client agrees) to reduce inflammation and soothe the muscles.

 

Some massage therapists have their clients gently inhale these oils through a diffuser, as they are thought to have healing properties. This massage technique is usually added to a typical massage session and helps clients with stress and anxiety relief, pain relief, arthritis symptoms, improved sleep quality and improved mood.

 

Some of the types of massage that aromatherapy can be incorporated into include prenatal, Swedish, deep tissue and hot stone massage. In addition, the massage therapist will select the essential oil that works best with the specific needs of the client, as each has its own unique properties and benefits.

 

6. Shiatsu massage:

 

Shiatsu massage is a Japanese massage technique that involves tapping, soothing, kneading, stretching and pressing. This non-invasive technique is usually performed through comfortable clothing, without any oils, and can be used to treat various musculoskeletal conditions. Massage therapists use it to treat chronic conditions such as insomnia, anxiety, headaches, digestive problems, joint pain and fatigue.

 

Shiatsu also stimulates the circulatory and lymphatic systems and helps with posture and flexibility.
Despite the Japanese heritage of this massage technique, Shiatsu uses similar styles to other massage techniques such as lymphatic drainage, physiotherapy and osteopathy.

 

This massage technique works on the whole body, but massage therapists can focus on areas that need more attention. People with stressful jobs and active lifestyles may need regular shiatsu massage sessions, but for others, one session a month will help them maintain their balance and flexibility. Also, this massage technique is usually performed with the client fully clothed and usually lasts about 90 minutes, depending on the complexity of the problem.

 

7. Pilates Abdominal Massage:

 

Pilates abdominal massage helps to massage and release tension in the internal organs and spine. This massage technique focuses on the abdominal muscles such as the rectus abdominis, transversus abdominis and obliques.

 

Pilates massage therapists typically use different methods to treat muscle tension and tightness in the abdominal area, and this technique helps to reduce pain and increase flexibility. Kneading, skin rolling, wringing and deep strokes are also used to release tension in the abdominal area.

 

A series of Pilates massage exercises are also performed on the mat, chair or reformer to massage the abdomen and release tension, and Pilates abdominal massages are good for toning and strengthening the abdominal and back muscles.

 

8. Thai massage:

 

Originating in India, Thai massage has been used for over 2000 years and this ancient massage practice combines acupressure and Indian Ayurvedic principles with assisted yoga poses for pain relief. Rather than lying on a massage table (as with other massage techniques), you lie fully clothed in loose-fitting clothing on a mat while the Thai massage therapist uses various techniques such as compression, stretching and acupressure to release tension in your body. This massage technique also helps to improve flexibility, posture, energy levels and circulation.

 

Thai massage, sometimes referred to as assisted yoga, focuses on improving the flow of energy throughout the body and can be used to relieve headaches, joint pain and back pain. This massage technique also helps to relieve anxiety and reduce fatigue. Traditional Thai massage therapists use their hands, elbows, forearms and feet to release muscle tension. Because this massage technique involves active movement and participation throughout the massage session, it is not the best option for everyone, especially people with injuries or heart conditions.

 

Some massage therapists also use traction during the massage session, such as pulling fingers, cracking knuckles, walking on someone’s back and moving the client’s body through various basic yoga poses.

 

9. Oncology massage:

 

Oncology massage therapy is a specialised massage technique that helps cancer patients cope with their cancer experience and improve their quality of life.

Scientific literature reviews have shown that this massage technique helps to improve sleep and immune function in cancer patients, while reducing the pain, nausea and fatigue typically associated with cancer. Oncology massage therapists meet people at different stages of cancer and provide tailored massage treatments to support and comfort them through the process. In addition, most oncology massage treatments are adapted to the different cancer-related problems, whether physical, emotional or psychosocial.

 

Trained oncology massage therapists take into account patients’ individual goals and the side effects of cancer treatments when providing massage therapy to patients. Some cancer patients seek oncology massage to help relieve a variety of cancer-related symptoms. However, some studies show that cancer and cancer treatments can put the patient at risk of complications when receiving oncology massage.

 

Therefore, the massage therapist should take appropriate precautions and training and be aware of the client’s cancer history, both past and present, before treating them.

 

10. Prenatal massage:

 

Prenatal massage therapy is a safe way for pregnant women to get massages and this technique helps to reduce stress, muscle tension and pain associated with pregnancy. Many pregnant women experience different types of pain such as neck pain, back pain, joint pain and others and this massage technique helps to relieve the tension in the muscle to reduce the pain. Prenatal massage is good for circulation and helps to reduce the risk of joint swelling during pregnancy. You can have a prenatal massage at any stage of your pregnancy, but it is advisable not to have one during the first trimester to reduce the risk of miscarriage.

 

Pregnant women also need to get their doctor’s permission before having a prenatal massage.

 

Prenatal massages help to remove tissue waste and toxins from the body and improve the general mood of the expectant mother. You need to tell the massage therapist that you are pregnant so that they can tailor the session to suit you. Prenatal massage uses gentle pressure and the therapist focuses on areas such as the legs, hips and lower back. Other benefits of this massage technique include reducing insomnia, anxiety and headaches.

 

11. Trigger point massage:

 

Trigger point massage is used to release trigger points that cause pain in various parts of the body, most often as a result of injury, surgery, inactivity, overexertion or poor posture. Trigger points can often cause headaches, muscle strain and even injury. This massage technique is best for people with injuries and chronic pain as it targets the knots and points in the muscle to reduce pain. Trigger point massage goes deep into the muscle layer to release the build-up of tension and involves applying varying levels of pressure to the affected area.

 

During trigger point massage, you may experience both relief and discomfort as the massage therapist focuses on releasing the knots in your body. This massage technique can be used on the whole body, or the therapist can focus on specific areas of tension that need to be released. You do not need to be fully undressed during a trigger point massage session and they usually last between 10 minutes and an hour, depending on the muscle strain. Some benefits of this massage technique include improved flexibility, healthy muscle maintenance, enhanced relaxation and reduced pain.

 

12. Reflexology massage:

 

Reflexology massage involves applying gentle and firm pressure to various pressure points on the hands, ears and feet. This massage technique is based on the theory that different body systems and organs are connected to the hands, feet and ears. If you don’t like being touched on different parts of your body, this is a good massage technique to try. Reflexology massage therapists are called reflexologists and they believe that there are various health benefits to applying pressure to these specific parts of the body.

 

This massage technique is quite different from a regular foot massage, as it uses pressure point massage methods on specific areas of the feet, hands and ears to restore energy flow to different parts of the body. Reflexology can help with a variety of health issues such as headaches, stomach problems or sinus problems, and it helps with the circulation of blood, oxygen and nutrients. You can also use this massage technique to aid relaxation, improve mood, reduce pain and rid your body of various toxins.

 

While there are some theories that reflexology can help boost the immune system and improve digestion, there is no conclusive scientific study to prove that it is a useful treatment for any medical condition.

 

13. Chair massage:

 

Chair massages usually focus on the neck, shoulders, arms, hand, head and back and are ideal for people who want a quick massage. The chair massage technique uses manual guidance to release muscle tension and uses a uniquely designed chair to support the client during the massage. Clients need to straddle the chair to give the massage therapist access to their neck and back. Chair massage therapists usually use light or medium pressure as this technique helps to reduce stress and promote relaxation.

 

Also, this massage technique usually lasts about 30 minutes and clients remain fully clothed throughout the session.

 

Chair massages are readily available in a variety of places such as salons, spas, trade shows, festivals and shopping malls. In addition, this massage technique is good for typically active people as it helps to improve circulation, improve sleep quality, support immune health, improve flexibility and lower blood pressure.

 

14. Petrissage massage:

 

Petrissage massage technique involves applying deep pressure to the tissues and muscles and is used to treat muscle spasms and relieve pressure points. This technique combines squeezing, kneading and stretching movements to loosen muscle fibres and release tension. Massage therapists use this technique to activate the lymphatic and vascular systems, which in turn improves blood circulation and facilitates the removal of toxins from the body. This technique is also used to break up adhesions that occur after surgery or injury.

 

Petrissage massage increases recovery, improves circulation and increases physical flexibility. It also reduces delayed onset muscle soreness and improves muscle function.

This massage technique should not be used over inflamed areas, new scar tissue, damaged skin or after a new injury. It is also important to allow sufficient recovery time after surgery or injury to avoid further damage to the area.

 

15. Tapotement:

 

The tapotement massage technique involves a rhythmic tapping or patting motion, usually done with the outside of the hand or fingertips. This technique helps to stimulate superficial muscle tissue and can be used as a pre-workout or competition massage technique. The benefits of this massage technique range from increased blood circulation to improved recovery and muscle relaxation. Most athletes use this massage technique to help them recover faster from physical exertion and to loosen their muscles before an event. In addition, prolonged tapotement can help reduce anxiety and relieve muscle tension.

The Benefits Of Full Body Coconut Oil Massage

Using coconut oil for massage offers a wide range of benefits, which include

~ Moisturising and nourishing the skin:
One of the primary benefits of full body coconut oil massage lies in its exceptional moisturising properties. Rich in fatty acids, coconut oil provides great hydration to the skin. By penetrating the layers of the skin, these fatty acids nourish the skin from within and prevent water loss. The effectiveness of coconut oil in supplementing skin hydration has been repeatedly proven by scientific research, making it a preferred remedy for people with dry skin.

~ Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties:
In addition to its moisturising properties, coconut oil has anti-inflammatory properties that help with psoriasis and eczema, among other skin conditions. Coconut oil’s antioxidants act as a barrier against free radicals, preventing skin damage and premature ageing. Studies have confirmed the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of coconut oil, highlighting its value as a safe and effective skin care product.

~ Relaxation and stress relief:
The benefits of a full body massage with coconut oil extend beyond physical health to include mental health. The gentle massage techniques promote relaxation and dramatically reduce stress levels. In addition, the aroma of coconut oil itself has a relaxing effect on the body and mind, providing a comprehensive method of stress reduction. Extensive research into massage therapy has demonstrated its beneficial effects on psychological and physiological aspects, making full body coconut oil massage a great option for general relaxation.

~ Muscle pain relief and improved circulation:

Massage Therapy Styles and Health Benefits

 
What Is Massage Therapy?

 

Massage therapy is a form of manual therapy that involves manipulating soft tissues in the body to reduce stress, ease muscle tension, and promote relaxation and overall well-being. It is a hands-on technique that is performed by trained massage therapists.

The practice of massage therapy has a long and rich history, spanning thousands of years. Today, massage therapy offers a wide variety of styles, pressures, movements, and techniques, providing clients a customized experience to suit their individual needs. These techniques encompass pressing, rubbing, and manipulating muscles and other soft tissues with the hands and fingers. In some cases, forearms, elbows, or feet may also be used.

The following is a summary of the most common types of massage and their respective benefits.

 
Which massage styles are most effective?

 

It is evident that the popularity of different massage styles varies over time. You may have considered whether each style is merely a passing fad or the latest technique. An even more important question is how to determine whether the latest style will actually help you.

The range of massage styles encompasses long, smooth strokes and short, percussive strokes. Some massage therapists use oils and lotions, while others do not. Most massage therapists have clients unclothe for a massage, but some do not. The duration of a massage can vary significantly, ranging from brief five-minute sessions to extended two-hour treatments.

Prior to determining the most suitable massage style for you, it is essential to reflect on your personal preferences. Is your primary objective a massage for relaxation and stress relief? Or do you require therapeutic relief for specific health concerns? Prior to scheduling a massage, it is advisable to communicate your desired goals to the therapist and inquire about their preferred approach. Many therapists utilise a combination of techniques. The therapist may then customise your massage, depending on factors such as your age, condition, or any specific needs or goals you may have.

Please find below a list of some of the more popular massage therapy styles.

 
Types of Massage Therapy:
 
Swedish massage

 

Swedish massage therapy is the most common type of massage. It involves soft, long, kneading strokes, as well as light, rhythmic, tapping strokes, on topmost layers of muscles. This is also combined with movement of the joints. This approach is known to alleviate muscle tension, offering a dual benefit of relaxation and revitalisation. It may also be beneficial in cases of injury.

The four common strokes of Swedish massage are:

~ Effleurage: a smooth, gliding stroke used to relax soft tissue.

~ Petrissage: this is a squeezing, rolling, or kneading technique that follows effleurage.

~ Friction: deep, circular movements that cause layers of tissue to rub against each other, helping to increase blood flow and break down scar tissue.

~ Tapotement: a short, alternating tap done with cupped hands, fingers, or the edge of the hand.

 
Deep tissue massage:

 

Deep tissue massage is best for addressing specific areas of discomfort or restriction in the body. The massage therapist will use slow, deliberate strokes that focus pressure on layers of muscles, tendons, or other tissues deep under your skin. Though less rhythmic than other types of massage, deep tissue massage has therapeutic benefits, relieving chronic patterns of tension and helping with muscle injuries, such as back sprains.

 
Sports massage:

 

This type of massage is designed to address the specific muscle systems involved in a particular sport, using a range of techniques to support athletes during training, before, during, and after sports events. It can promote flexibility and help prevent injuries. It may also help relieve muscle strains and speed up healing after a sports injury.

 
Thai massage:

 

During a Thai massage, the therapist uses their body to move the client into a variety of positions. This type of massage includes compression of muscles, mobilisation of joints and acupressure.

 
Lymphatic drainage massage:

 

This massage involves a gentle manipulation of the tissues to stimulate the flow of lymphatic fluids throughout the body. Lymph is a protein-rich fluid that moves throughout the body via a network of lymph vessels. It is responsible for removing bacteria, viruses and waste from the body and transporting them to the lymph nodes for elimination. The lymph nodes then filter the fluid to remove impurities from the body. The massage is typically performed with light pressure and gentle, long strokes along the skin to stimulate the movement of lymph through the body.

 
Hot stone massage:

 

In this massage technique, therapists strategically place warmed stones on specific areas of the body, such as acupressure points, to enhance the therapeutic benefits. The stones may be used as massage tools or temporarily left in place. Used in combination with other massage techniques, hot stones can significantly enhance the soothing and relaxing effect by transmitting heat deep into the body.

 
Reflexology:

 

Reflexology is a therapeutic practice that involves the application of pressure to specific areas of the feet to stimulate bodily functions and promote well-being. It is believed that these areas correspond to different parts of the body. The massage is intended to promote health and well-being.

 
Pregnancy massage:

 

During pregnancy, the body undergoes significant changes. Pregnancy massage can help with these changes by reducing stress, decreasing arm and leg swelling, and relieving muscle and joint pain. This massage can be particularly beneficial during pregnancy when medication and other medical options may be limited. Using specially designed massage pillows, the massage therapist will help you get into a comfortable position for this type of massage.

 
Cranial sacral massage:

 

This practice is used to treat headaches, migraines, neck and back pain, stress-related disorders, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, and certain neurological conditions. During a craniosacral massage session, a trained therapist will use light touch and subtle movements to assess and address any imbalances or restrictions in the craniosacral system. The craniosacral system encompasses the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that envelop and protect the brain and spinal cord.

 
Trigger point massage:

 

During a trigger point massage session, a trained therapist applies pressure directly to the identified trigger points. This helps to release tension and get rid of pain. The pressure applied during the massage can vary in intensity, with the therapist utilising their fingers, knuckles, elbows, or other tools to target the specific areas effectively. The aim of the trigger point massage is to encourage the release of the contracted muscle fibres, improve blood flow to the affected area, and promote relaxation of the muscles.

 
Myofascial release:

 

Your fascia is a connected web of tissues that support your muscles, bones, organs, and other structures within the body. During a myofascial release session, a trained therapist uses gentle pressure on specific areas of the body to release tightness within the fascial system. The therapist will use their hands, fingers, elbows, or specialised tools to apply pressure and stretch the fascia in a way that encourages it to return to a more relaxed state.

 
The benefits of massage:

 

A wide range of massage techniques offer benefits beyond basic relaxation. The following is a non-exclusive list of health problems that may benefit from massage. However, it is important to consult your physician before incorporating massage into your health regimen, particularly if you have any pre-existing health conditions.

~Sleep,
~Immune function,
~Constipation,
~Anxiety,
~Digestive disorders,
~Nerve pain,
~Postoperative care,
~Scar tissue,
~Soft tissue strains and injuries,
~Sports injuries,
~Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.

 
Massage therapy and pain:

 

Back pain; Multiple studies have demonstrated the efficacy of massage therapy for back pain.

Headache; Another type of pain, headache, also responds to massage therapy. Some studies suggest that massage therapy can improve sleep and reduce the number of migraines a person has.

Osteoarthritis; In the first clinical trial looking at the effectiveness of Swedish massage for knee osteoarthritis, participants who received a one-hour massage either one or two times a week had improvements in pain, stiffness, and function. The control group did not demonstrate any significant changes.

Fibromyalgia: Studies demonstrate that massage therapy can effectively manage symptoms such as pain, anxiety, and depression over a 5-week period.

 
The connection between massage therapy and cancer:

 

Cancer. Massage therapy is used in conjunction with conventional Western medicine to promote relaxation and alleviate cancer symptoms or treatment-related side effects. It may help reduce pain, swelling, fatigue, nausea, or depression and improve the function of your immune system. However, it is important to note that massage therapists should exercise caution in treating cancer patients, and there are specific areas and circumstances in which massage therapy should be avoided. It is advisable to consult your physician prior to undergoing massage therapy if you have cancer.

 
Massage therapy and HIV/AIDS

 

HIV/AIDS. Research suggests that massage therapy may help improve the quality of life and treat the anxiety and depression that people with HIV or AIDS experience.

The impact of massage therapy on mental health.

Depression. A review of 17 clinical trials found that massage therapy may help reduce depression. However, when it comes to generalized anxiety disorder, massage therapy was found to be no more effective than providing a calming environment and deep breathing exercises.

 
Risks Associated with Massage Therapy:

 

There appears to be a low level of risk involved in massage therapy. However, there have been rare reports of serious side effects, including nerve injury, blood clots and bone fractures. These reported cases are often associated with more intensive massage techniques, such as deep tissue massage, or they involve patients who might be at increased risk of injury, such as older people.

 
How to Find a Massage Therapist:

 

When seeking a massage therapist, it is advisable to approach the search in the same manner as any other medical professional. First, define your goals. Determine the type of massage you are looking for so that you can narrow down your search. Requesting recommendations from friends and family is also advisable. If you do not have a trusted massage therapist in your personal network, consider expanding your search online. Online directories that include reviews are a useful resource. Once a shortlist has been created, it is advisable to research the therapists’ credentials. Ensure they are licensed and registered to work in your area. You should also establish their fees and whether they are within your budget. Once a suitable match has been identified and they are within your desired travel radius, arrange a consultation to discuss your concerns. After meeting them, trust your instincts to determine if they seem like a suitable professional to entrust your well-being with.

Therapeutic benefits of Swedish massage

Swedish massage is one of the most common and effective forms of massage therapy. A wonderful combination of light to firm gliding strokes, integrated with stretching and range of motion of the joints, it is a process that promotes total relaxation and release of muscle tension.

History of Swedish Massage:

Swedish massage was developed by Peter Henrik Ling (1776-1839), a Swedish physician and athlete, who combined Chinese medical massage techniques with sports medicine to create a technique for reducing muscle soreness, increasing flexibility and promoting overall health. The strokes used in Swedish massage include long and gliding movements, usually with an oil or cream as a lubricant, kneading, vibration, tapping and friction. Massage therapists also incorporate stretching to lengthen muscles and joint mobilisation, or opening and softening the joints.

Research shows both mental-emotional and physical benefits of Swedish massage:

The effects and benefits of Swedish massage have been well researched and documented in controlled studies. Research conducted by the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami School of Medicine and the International Journal of Neuroscience shows that a 45-minute massage increases serotonin, dopamine and oxytocin, which help to balance and elevate mood. Both serotonin and dopamine are neurotransmitters. Low levels of either serotonin or dopamine are associated with depression, anxiety and general lethargy. Increased levels, as with massage, bring a sense of emotional well-being and balance. Oxytocin, commonly referred to as the ‘cuddle hormone’, has been shown to be released during both cuddling and massage. Although technically a hormone, it acts more like a neurotransmitter, producing a sweet little neuropeptide that makes you feel warm and soft inside.

A more recent study looked at the physical benefits of massage. This study was done on 400 adults who complained of moderate to severe low back pain that had lasted for 3 months or more. The adults were divided into 3 groups. The first group received a weekly full-body massage. The second group received a more targeted massage that focused on specific muscles in the lower back and hips. The last group received no massage, but were prescribed painkillers and muscle relaxants. After 10 weeks, people in both massage groups reported a greater average improvement in pain and function than those who received medication. The type of massage, either full-body or focused, produced equally beneficial results. At the end of the study, 36-39% of those receiving massage reported that their pain was almost or completely gone, while only 4% of those receiving medication reported such a significant reduction in pain levels. This bodes well for a full Swedish ‘relaxation’ massage, not just a focused one.

There are at least 13 benefits of Swedish massage!

Relaxation:
Swedish massage both calms the nervous system and relaxes muscular tension.

Reduces stress:
Many of us live demanding lives, over-scheduled and overworked. Stress can manifest itself in the body with increased muscle tension and sometimes pain. Stress can manifest in the mind with increased worry or anxiety. Swedish massage helps to free the body and mind from unwanted responses to stress.

Increase flexibility:
Swedish massage stretches the muscles, opens the joints and reduces swelling, making movement easier and increasing flexibility.

Improve posture:
While postural imbalances have many causes, including overworked muscles due to repetitive strain, overcompensation of muscles to relieve overworked muscles, prolonged sitting or injury, Swedish massage helps to loosen the muscular grip that underlies the postural imbalance.

Improves blood circulation:
Massage dilates the blood vessels and widens the membrane pores in the body, improving your body’s ability to supply fresh blood to muscles and organs.

Endorphin release to improve mood:
Research shows that serotonin and dopamine levels increase in massage recipients, improving their mood and sense of emotional well-being.

Flushes out metabolic by-products:
Because massage stimulates circulation, it flushes out lactic acid and uric acid that build up in muscles due to overuse.

Increases range of motion:
Swedish massage, which incorporates stretching and range of motion techniques, opens and lubricates the joints for increased range of motion and smoother movement.

Supports a healthy immunity:
Because Swedish massage also promotes the flow of lymphatic fluid, it increases lymphocytes, immune cells produced in the lymph nodes.

Increases the supply of nutrients to the muscles:
By increasing circulation, Swedish massage increases the blood supply and nutrients to the muscles.

Increases energy:
Increased circulation also means more oxygen is delivered to the body, resulting in a boost in energy.

Improves sleep:
Studies show that a massage increases serotonin levels in the body, helping you to fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

Relieve headaches:
Many headaches or migraines are the result of stress and/or poor circulation. Swedish massage relieves the stress associated with tension headaches and improves circulation.

The significant benefits of Swedish massage make it clear that a regular massage programme is more than a luxury, but an important part of maintaining physical and emotional wellbeing. You may just want a “relaxation” massage. But you should know that while you are relaxing, you are also taking care of your body and mind in fundamental and important ways.

The Benefits of Postnatal Massage Therapy

       

Postnatal ( Postpartum ) Massage

Postnatal massage can be just as important and beneficial as massage during pregnancy. Postnatal bodywork is an effective and holistic approach to the many adjustments of motherhood.

Massage is known for its relaxation, stress reduction, pain relief and other health benefits. Unique postnatal benefits include hormone regulation, reduced swelling, better sleep and improved breastfeeding. More advanced therapies can help restore your body to its pre-pregnancy state, speed healing and aid recovery from a Caesarean section.

The Benefits Of Postnatal Massage

Postpartum massage has been shown to be effective for faster recovery and better health. Integrating maternal bodywork can be a welcome addition to your healing journey and transition to motherhood.
Consider the many benefits:

Relaxation and Stress Reduction

Massage relaxes muscles, increases circulation and lowers stress hormones, bringing relaxation and stress relief. All body systems appreciate treatment after nine months of change culminating in the birth of life’s greatest miracle.

Some women prefer lighter, pampering massages, while others enjoy deeper techniques to work out the knots. The addition of myofascial release and craniosacral therapy reaches deeper into the body for more complete healing. Any of these massage styles will bring relaxation and stress reduction.

Anxiety and depression respond very well to skilled therapy. About two-thirds of new mothers experience temporary postpartum blues related to hormonal changes, new responsibilities and adjustment frustrations. Emotional support and the other benefits of massage can help during this transition.

Postnatal depression is a more serious, longer-lasting condition that affects 10-15% of mothers. Studies show that massage can be beneficial in the treatment of postnatal depression. Don’t hesitate to seek help from healthcare professionals, including a postnatal massage therapist.

Pain Relief

Residual aches and pains from pregnancy are normal. The addition of breastfeeding and childcare can increase arm, shoulder and back pain. Massage is an effective holistic approach that relaxes muscles and relieves pain without medication. A skilled therapist can also relieve associated numbness and tingling. Chronic or severe pain may require several or more sessions for resolution.

Hormone Regulation

Massage greatly improves hormone balance after childbirth. Levels of the hormones oestrogen and progesterone are very high during pregnancy and decrease after childbirth. Levels of prolactin and oxytocin increase to facilitate lactation. Studies show that massage reduces the stress hormone cortisol. Certain essential oils can also help balance hormones and mood.

Massage also reduces naturally occurring biochemicals associated with depression (dopamine and serotonin) and cardiovascular problems (norepinephrine), helping the mother with the challenges of motherhood.

Reduced Swelling

Body fluids need to be rebalanced after pregnancy, during which there is an increase in fluid volume of around 50%. Massage increases circulation and lymphatic drainage to facilitate the removal of excess fluids and waste products. Tissue stimulation helps your body move water to the right places.

Swelling is also influenced by hormones, which undergo major changes after childbirth. Massage helps to regulate hormones, which also reduces swelling. Continue to drink plenty of fluids for healing and breastfeeding, even if you still have swelling.

Better Sleep

Most new mothers feel exhausted after labour and delivery, complicated by round-the-clock baby care. Massage can help relieve fatigue, promote relaxation and aid sleep. Studies have shown an increase in delta brain waves (those associated with deep sleep) with massage therapy.

This is why it is very common to fall asleep during a massage. Getting enough sleep is key to recovery after childbirth. Everything gets better when you feel rested! Get help and get regular massages for better rest and sleep. One study correlated better sleep with the loss of baby fat around the tummy!

Improved Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding is a wonderful gift to your newborn, but it can also be a challenge for some mums. Massage therapy relaxes the body, improves circulation and increases milk production. Studies show that massage increases levels of prolactin, a lactation hormone.

Relaxation of the chest muscles opens the shoulders and improves lactation. Recent research suggests that breast massage helps relieve breast pain, reduces sodium in breast milk and improves newborn feeding. Talk to your therapist about this service, as working directly on the breasts may not be legal in some areas.

When can a new mother start postnatal massage?

You can start postnatal massage as soon as you feel comfortable. Your therapists will position you comfortably if your abdomen or breasts are sore. If you have any maternal complications, consult your healthcare professional first.

What positions are safe for postnatal massage?

Any position is safe after childbirth, but may be adjusted for your comfort or specific treatment. Some mums long to be able to lie face down again after being on their sides for almost nine months. Others may be uncomfortable lying face down because of breast discomfort or the distraction of leaking milk. The side position can be comfortable and very effective for treating specific problems in the shoulders, pelvis or legs.

Can I bring my baby to my appointment?

Many mums want to leave their baby in good hands and take a break. However, some mothers prefer to bring their newborn baby with them. Ask your therapist if newborns are welcome. Some therapists provide support for the little visitor. Newborn babies usually sleep a lot and an experienced therapist will adapt the routine to the baby if necessary (breastfeeding, etc.). Extra time may be needed if you bring your baby along, so ask for permission in advance.

Aromatherapy during a postnatal massage

A holistic treatment with aromatherapy can be an effective therapy for postnatal mothers. Essential oils are pure extracts from plants and can help with relaxation, hormone balance, cleansing and treating anxiety or depression. Most high-quality oils are safe and non-allergenic after pregnancy, but let your therapist know if you are breastfeeding. Most aromatherapy can be diffused in the air, added to lotions or applied topically. Ask about the therapist’s expertise in this area and whether there is an additional charge.

Include Postpartum Massage in Your After Pregnancy Care

Massage can improve recovery and health after childbirth for many women. Supplement the advice and guidance of your healthcare provider with massage to help you transition into your new role as a mother. A trained therapist can provide physical, emotional and educational support to help you find the joy of motherhood. Talk to your doctor if you have any complications or concerns before starting any new therapeutic practice.
