The Ancient Art of Massage Pt2
Based on the principle that there are reflexes in the hands and feet that connect to all areas of the body Reflexology is another common type of massage. The massage focuses on the hands and/or feet. Connected to the organs, glands, and muscles of the rest of the body, the therapist applies pressure to various trigger points which in an attempt to relax and relieve pressure in those areas.
A specialty modality where the therapist uses smooth, flat stones is called a hot stone therapeutic massage. The stones are heated before the massage begins, and the therapist begins the treatment with usual techniques. As the massage progresses the Therapist adds heated stones by placing them along the client’s back and using some of the oiled, heated stones in her hands. The heated stones provide additional relaxation to the client.
