What is massage
Massage targets the skin, muscles, fascia, tendons, and ligaments of the body. It can be defined as bodywork, manual therapy, or manipulative therapy. Todays’ massage therapies are considered complementary forms of healthcare. Historically, these therapies have their roots in ancient healing practices.
Beneficial effects
- ease muscular tension
- improve postural balance
- relax the body
- calm the mind
- calm the nervous system
- uplift the spirit
- improve our sense of wellbeing
Massage can also bring about positive changes or therapeutic effects in the emotional, psychological, and spiritual bodies through the mind-body connection, the sense of touch, and by being in a serene, nurturing environment.
Types of massage
Relaxation Massage: soothing massage for deep relaxation of body, mind, and spirit, generally involving the whole body

Thai Yoga Massage: a gentle and extremely relaxing massage that melds TCM principles with Thai massage and Yoga stretches (stretching is done to you by the practitioner while the muscles are relaxed)
