What Are the Benefits of Full Body Massage?

Overview:
Massage involves the rubbing and manipulating of muscles, tendons, skin and ligaments. Massage has moved beyond the walls of your favorite spa to medical settings, such as clinics and hospitals. A full body massage offers multiple benefits, both physically and psychologically. Consult a physician before having a massage if you have medical conditions, such as cancer, fractures, blood clots, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis or if you are pregnant.

Reduced Stress, Anxiety and Depression:
A massage reduces stress levels in most people. Massage may also help manage or reduce the symptoms of anxiety and depression. While no studies prove that massage reduces depression symptoms, some people with depression feel that their symptoms decrease after massage. Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals reports that massage offers other benefits for your well-being, such as better sleep, increased energy, better concentration and less fatigue.

Pain and Stiffness Relief:
A full body massage can relieve pain and stiffness in the body according to Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals. The full body massage may release endorphins, which act as a pain reliever. Massage sometimes helps relieve migraine pain. Muscles that are tired, overused or otherwise sore are able to relax and soften through the massage. A massage may help an athlete's sore muscles after a hard workout or benefit a sports injury.

Increased Circulation:
Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals states that massage can increase circulation by assisting oxygen and nutrients to reach tissues and organs. A massage may help control blood pressure. While these benefits may offer positive medical benefits, you should continue regular medical care with your health care professional, particularly if you have a medical condition.

Immune System Function:
A full body massage may increase your immune system's functionality according to Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals. The massage stimulates the lymphatic system, which assists the immune system protect the body.

Skin Benefits:
A full body massage helps remove dead skin cells over the entire body for improved skin tone. The stimulated blood flow benefits the appearance and health of the skin. The massage can also encourage tissue regeneration, which may help reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks according to Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals. Depending on the kind being used, the massage oil may provide moisturizing and other benefits to the skin.

Back Massage Benefits

Overview:
Massage was once considered a luxury---something you'd enjoy at a spa or health club. However, the benefit of a massage is now considered a more mainstream therapy and is often recommended by doctors and other medical professionals. The Mayo Clinic staff recognizes massage as part of an overall wellness program. You may choose to have a full body or isolated area massage. One of the most common and beneficial parts of the body for massage is the back, since the nerves run through the spine.

Relieve Lower Back Pain:
A good back massage can help relieve lower back pain. After a strenuous workout or sitting at a desk all day, your back muscles are likely to be tense from overuse or repetitive use. When a massage therapist works those muscles, some of the tension is released.

Relieves Tension from Upper Back:
Repetitive motion or immobility may cause neck and shoulder pain. An upper back massage may help relieve the tension in that area and reduce the pain from migraines.

Releases "Feel Good" Chemicals:
A back massage stimulates the production of endorphins, dopamine and serotonin, chemicals that make the body feel good, according to Beth Mueller, RMT, in her article "Massage Therapy for Lower Back Pain" on the Spine Health website. This helps manage pain and may allow you to reduce the amount of painkillers you take. A back massage can help decrease pain in the lower back, which may help prevent anxiety and depression.

Improves Sleep:
The back massage relaxes the larger muscles and relieves tension that may be causing you to have a difficult time falling asleep or staying in a deep sleep. This allows you to have full sleep cycles necessary for optimum performance and good health.

Helps the Healing Process:
Even after a long history of back pain, a massage can help heal the tissues and muscles that have become tight, weak or atrophied. This will in turn improve your range of motion. According to Massagetherapy.com, it also helps reduce stretch marks and scar tissue. Athletes who have strained muscles in the lower, middle and upper back may notice increased joint flexibility after a back massage.

Increase Circulation:
A back massage stimulates circulation and increases blood flow to the area. This will help bring blood with oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and major organs.

Maternity and Labor:
A back massage may help decrease the pain some women feel in their lower backs during labor. This can make childbirth easier and lower the amount of time a woman has to stay in the hospital afterward.

Feels Good:
One of the best benefits of a back massage is that it feels good. Sometimes you just need to take a little time to relax and enjoy the pleasurable sensation of the human touch.

Facial Restrictions in Massage Therapy

Overview:
For thousands of years, people the world over have recognized the health benefits of massage. Mayo Clinic reports that massage, a form of complementary and alternative medicine, is now offered alongside standard medical treatments, such as cancer treatment. Benefits of massage include stress relief, pain management and boosting immunity. Massaging the face not only brings those benefits to a localized area, but it offers rejuvenating and skin-nourishing benefits as well. As wonderful as massage is, there are a few restrictions to facial massage that you should consider.

Infectious Disease Types:
A range of infectious diseases can appear on the face, including herpes cold sores around the lips, ringworm and shingles (herpes zoster). Shingles is especially contagious if a person has not yet had chickenpox. However, spread of the virus to that person will cause chickenpox rather than shingles. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention expressly cautions that the herpes zoster virus can transmit from person to person and, if spread from one location to the eye area, can result in viral conjunctivitis.

Sunburned Skin Warning:
Excessive sun exposure can result in sunburn, causing swelling, redness, irritation and pain. Jeffery Sobell, director of photomedicine at Tufts University School of Medicine, explains that sunburn is actually a toxic reaction to the ultraviolet rays of the sun. Massaging damaged skin can further hurt skin and increases the likelihood that it will tear or bruise.

Eczema Contraindication:
The University of Maryland Medical Center lists eczema as a contraindication for massage. Eczema, a family of skin conditions characterized by irritated, swollen and itchy skin, can cause skin to crack and weep. According to EczemaNet, overheating can exacerbate the condition and that scratching an outbreak may open damaged skin, making it more susceptible to infection. Massage not only increases local skin temperature but can further irritate an eczema outbreak. While massage can reduce stress, which helps those with eczema and generally lessens the incidence of flares, care should be taken to avoid active outbreaks on the face.

Massage Time Frame:
Massage therapy stretches and loosens muscles, stimulates blood flow, aids in metabolic waste removal, releases endorphins (the body's natural painkiller), and increases oxygen levels in the blood, according to the University of Minnesota's Boynton Health Services. While all of these are beneficial to the body, as well as the mind, Massage Therapy 101 recommends that facial massage should not last more than 20 minutes at a stretch in order to decrease the possibility of lengthening facial muscles.

Considerations:
Licensed massage therapists and aestheticians receive training in the contraindications to massage. Consultation is the first step to any professional massage or facial. During that time, clients should discuss any health concerns they may have and should point out any infections. This protects both the client and the therapist. Oftentimes, massage can be performed around an irritated or infected area.

What Do Facials & Body Massages Relieve?

Overview:
In the past, facials and massages only seemed accessible to the elite or affluent. Many people assumed that only those with disposable income could afford and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of these popular spa treatments. However, with the advent of stress and health management becoming a public concern, more people are opting to include facials and massages as part of their grooming regimen, efforts at stress reduction, and overall health care. Both services can bring a variety of great benefits to boost health and well being.

Stress:
The stress of daily living can manifest within the human body. Stress can come from a myriad of activities such as a high-demanding job, juggling marriage and children, or school and community obligations. These types of life events can cause the body to fight stress by simply working and living through the tension. Before long, one is faced with tight muscles, irritability and fatigue which can lead to low performance and lack of concentration. Many of these stressors are reflected in facial expressions and body movements. Facials and body massages can literally "melt" away physical and mental stresses attributed to work, family, injuries or illness. First, having alone time away from the daily hustle allows the mind and body to unwind. Having a professional esthetician or massage therapist pamper the face and body can assist with destressing and help restore both the mind and body to their optimal states. Massage is known to decrease the level of cortisol, a stress hormone, and increase dopamine and seratonin, neurotransmitters known for battling depression.

Pain:
Medical conditions, the aftermath of surgery or injury, and depletion of energy while recovering from illness can cause a considerable amount of pain in the body. Muscles can tighten and cramp due to dehydration, immobility or strain from subsequent therapy. Facials and body massages loosen up the muscles and joints to relieve tension (which also contributes to pain) or at least assist as part of a pain management plan until complete healing occurs.

Toxin Buildup and Immunity Builder:
Massaging the face and body releases toxins from the body that would otherwise enter into the bloodstream and/or affect the health and appearance of hair, skin and nails. The repetitive movement during massage strokes allows toxins to be "pushed" into the lymphatic system which eliminates the toxins from the body. This is turn helps the body build up white blood cells, which are instrumental in fighting disease and infection. The skin, which is the largest organ of the body, expels toxins through the pores. Coupled with facials that open up the pores, massages can help with maintaining flawless skin.

Insomnia:
Even if one does not experience a myriad of stress, injury or medical illness, sleep deprivation affects many people and can lead to a number of health issues. Regular facials and massages can help with initiating restful sleep (sometimes while receiving the service).

How to Give a Great Back Massage ?
Overview:
A wonderful back massage is not only pleasurable, but it also can relieve painful muscle spasms and help someone unwind after a stressful day. Spa massage treatments can be expensive and difficult to fit into a busy lifestyle. According to Better Massage Therapy.com, a website dedicated to the art of massage, with a few helpful tips, you can not only give a muscle-melting back massage, but you also can teach your skills to the one you love—so you both benefit.

Set The Mood
Step 1:
Warm the bed's surface with a heating pad placed underneath the sheet or by warming the sheet in the dryer for a few minutes.

Step 2:
Dim the lights. Light several aromatherapy candles. Lavender-scented candles are reported to enhance a state of relaxation.

Step 3:
Turn on relaxing, calming music like the sound of ocean waves or gentle rain. Meditation-ambient music is also appropriate.

Massage Technique
Step 1:
Apply the oil or lotion to the bare skin using long strokes. Use enough oil so your hands glide smoothly over the skin. Igor Fooks, a licensed massage and bodywork therapist in Charlotte, N.C., recommends a mixture of oil and lotion for the perfect massage experience.

Step 2:
Begin at the lower back. Keep your hands spread out, fingers facing the neck, and slowly stroke your hands all the way up the spine to the shoulders using medium pressure, fanning out to the shoulder blades. Make sure the pressure is on either side of the vertebrae, not directly on the spine. Repeat this technique for several minutes to induce complete relaxation.

Step 3:
Target specific knotted or tight areas. Use a circular massage technique on these areas. Keep your hands flat, using a counter-clockwise motion.

Step 4:
After the circular motion, knead the knots out using your fingers and thumbs to grab specific muscles and gently squeeze.

Step 5:
End the massage with an all over raking technique. Stroke your right hand from the lower back up to the shoulders as you simultaneously stroke your left hand down from the left shoulder to the lower back. Continue the up and down stroking action for several minutes.

Step 6:
Finish the experience with the ultimate professional touch by placing microwave-heated, warm, damp towels across the back to soothe the skin and absorb some of the massage oils.
Warnings
•Avoid excessive pressure on bony structures, broken skin or blisters.
Tips
•Listen to the person you are massaging, ask for feedback and make sure she tells you what feels good or if something hurts.
Things You'll Need
•Firm, comfortable table or narrow bed
•Massage oil or lotions
•Soft towels
