$5.99

eBook “Magic of Massage.”

Volume 6 in the series “Secrets of a Healer.”

Massage is a therapeutic practice that involves the manipulation of muscles, soft tissues, and sometimes even joints to alleviate tension, promote relaxation, improve circulation, and enhance overall physical and mental well-being. This hands-on therapy is often performed by trained massage therapists who use various techniques, pressure levels, and movements to address specific issues or provide general relaxation.

The primary goals of massage include reducing muscle tension, relieving pain, increasing flexibility, improving blood flow, reducing stress and anxiety, and promoting a sense of relaxation and well-being. Different massage modalities, such as Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, Thai massage, and many others, offer unique approaches and benefits tailored to individual needs and preferences.

Massage therapy has a long history and is utilized for various purposes, including rehabilitation, stress relief, sports performance enhancement, and as a complementary therapy for managing certain medical conditions. It is considered an essential part of complementary and alternative medicine and is widely practiced around the world.

A softcover version can be purchased through Amazon, Indigo, Barnes and Noble, and many other places.

Description

Today, one of the most commonly used massages worldwide is the Swedish Massage. It is typically known as a muscle massage, used initially on gymnasts; it is excellent for the relief and relaxation of stressed and tired muscles. Learn how to do a relaxation massage on your partner and family. It is even great to learn to self-massage.

The techniques of Effleurage-light and deep stroking, Petrisage-kneading, Tapotement-hacking or slapping, and Friction-working with the fingertips will be taught in this workshop. You will learn how to do massage, dry with a person clothed, and with oil (on the back, arms, legs, and head). Add your aromatherapy knowledge, and it becomes a combined healing modality.

Learn what Dr. Constance Santego taught her students.
