      Preface Massage Guide

      Treat your body well to make your soul want to live in it (Teresa of Avila)

      Massage does not only influence skin, connective tissue and muscles mechanically, but has also a positive effect on the psyche. Developed thousands of years ago in Asia and Africa, Massage finally came to Europe and USA and is now prescribed by doctors as manual therapy and prevention measure.

      Massage increases circulation and stimulates the metabolism, relaxes, relieves pain, improves tissue and affects the autonomic nervous system in a significant way.

      This guide provides information on the main types of massage.

      Whether massage chair, brush massages, underwater massage or one of the various types of direct massage: A positive effect always can be noticed immediately.

      Massages should be not applied at vascular diseases, skin diseases and traumatic injuries.

      The five classic massage techniques are:

      Effleurage (striking), petrissage (kneading, tumbling), friction (rubbing), tapotment (tapping, knocking) and vibration (shaking). They are used with full-body massage as well as in partial body massages.

      Brush massage can be easily done at home, preferably in the morning in order to stimulate the circulation, always with ascending movements, i.e. from the bottom upwards towards the heart.

      Underwater massages is reserved for therapists and clinics, because equipment such as tubing and pressure apparatus as well as a tub are needed. However, there are a lot of types of massage that can be carried out in a massage center or spa and easily at home. Use reasonably priced vouchers for testing; Subscriptions are also available and cost-effective.

Nutrients are transported through the bloodstream into bones, organs and even to the brain, in less than four minutes. Immune system, nervous functions, skin and hair are stimulated, flabby cellulite is reduced or even eliminated, also there is noticed an undeniable relaxation effect.

      Distinction is made between body massage, such as e.g. Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage, baby massage, hand massage, facial massage, sports massage, Ayurvedic massage, Chinese or Thai massage,
