Therapeutic massage brings many benefits for health and beauty

What is therapeutic massage?

Therapeutic massage applies gentle kneading and acupressure movements combined with hot stones, essential oils or herbs. It helps you feel comfortable, refreshed and relaxed, reduces stress, loosens muscles and effectively relieves neck and shoulder pain.

Therapeutic massage also helps tense muscles recover quickly. Massage speeds up blood circulation, which relaxes the body effectively, because the brain also relaxes and produces compounds that reduce fatigue and tension, clear away pressure and stress, and recharge the body.

Types of therapeutic massage

So what kinds of therapeutic massage are there, and what are their benefits? Let's find out below!

1. Hot stone massage

Hot stone body massage is currently one of the most widely used treatments in spas and one of the most effective ways to relax and care for your health and beauty.

Hot stone massage relaxes the body and nervous system and restores energy

This method uses hot volcanic stones that absorb and retain heat well. Massage with hot stones strongly stimulates acupressure points and some of the body's key organs, helping both the body and nervous system relax and recover energy quickly.

2. Foot massage

During a foot massage, therapists use their hands to knead, press and gently work the soft tissue of the feet, especially the acupressure points. Some of the benefits of foot massage include:

• Effectively reducing aches and pains.
• Massaging the sleep reflex zone on the sole of the foot relaxes the nervous system and calms the mind, so your sleep improves and you sleep more deeply.

Foot massage helps prevent many different conditions

• Regular foot massage also helps prevent swelling, puffiness and cracked skin, leaving the skin of your feet smoother. It also helps eliminate toxins, reduce excess fat and quickly regain a slim figure.
• In addition, the soles of the feet hold many important meridians and acupressure points that correspond to the body's internal organs, so foot massage also helps prevent many different conditions.

3. Essential oil massage

Essential oil massage, also known as Swedish massage, uses fragrant essential oils applied directly to the skin. These oils are usually made from flowers or aromatic plants with pleasant scents and supportive therapeutic properties.

This therapy is said to help with conditions such as kidney inflammation and spinal degeneration, smooth away wrinkles, reduce excess fat and help you regain a slim figure. It also relaxes the nervous system and body, leaving you calm and refreshed.

Essential oil massage uses fragrant oils

Commonly used oils include rose and lavender, which help you relax, unwind, recharge and improve your health. Essential oil massage also helps relieve headaches, digestive problems, back pain and joint pain, and is good for the skin.

4. Herbal massage

One of today's most popular therapeutic massages is herbal massage. It usually uses traditional Eastern medicinal herbs, each with its own health benefits, so combining them with massage movements is very good for improving many symptoms and health problems.

Herbal massage is loved by many people

Familiar herbs include ginger, licorice, lemon and lemongrass. They have a natural fragrance, help eliminate toxins and relax the mind, and effectively reduce fatigue and stress.

5. Shiatsu acupressure

This is a Japanese-style therapy. The therapist uses the fingers and palms to gently work along the meridians. Each point is pressed for 2–8 seconds to open the meridians, improve blood circulation and rebalance the body. It does not hurt at all and feels extremely relaxing and comfortable.

The benefits of therapeutic massage

Here are some of the benefits of therapeutic massage as summarized by experts:

1. Better blood circulation

Massage therapies apply pressure to the body's meridians, tendons and acupressure points, which helps blood circulate more easily. Better circulation keeps the body healthy and full of vitality.

2. Relief from aches and fatigue

Massage loosens the muscles so the joints move more easily and smoothly. It also stabilizes the nervous system, prevents tension and effectively reduces joint pain.

3. Good for the cardiovascular system

Massage helps the cardiovascular system work at its best and helps prevent heart-related diseases. For people with high blood pressure, regular massage can help reduce abnormal increases in blood pressure. Massage along the spine can also support the treatment of respiratory problems such as pulmonary fibrosis and bronchial asthma.

4. Improved appetite

If you don't feel like eating, therapeutic massage can help, as it improves digestion so you enjoy your food more. Massage also helps remove toxins from the body and improve your health.

5. Supporting cancer care and reducing symptoms

According to researchers, massage can support the care of some cancer patients and help reduce symptoms. Foot massage in particular can help patients reduce pain, relieve fatigue and limit nausea.

During cancer treatment, regular massage can also help with shortness of breath and low energy.

6. Eliminating toxins from the body

Massage cleanses the body from the inside out, helping eliminate toxins and waste, improving circulation, regulating blood pressure and improving sleep quality. With therapeutic massage your body works at its best, helping prevent some illnesses.
