Massage Power
In the Eastern cultures, the massage is part of their day by day life and medical treatments, and people of all ages benefit from it. Unfortunately in our culture, the image was distorted, being restricted to sports. In recent years, mainly when we began to live with the global stress, people are discovering the value of the several massage segments: Sweden, shiatsu, reflexology, etc. Among the touch therapies, the major three are the massage as it is, the shiatsu and the reflexology. The first one is the easiest because it is based on the principle of the friendly act of caress that we make in our children or pets showing friendship. It is just an evolution in which it is mainly worked, in a conscious way, the great muscular groups, relaxing and relieving the pains derived from the day stress or even from a sport practice. In sports, the massage is much more known in football and used as part of players’ warming-up or after the matches, in order to release the stress. It may be used either the smoothing or the crushing method depending on the aim of reaching just the peripheral circulation or deeper layers of muscles. Fortunately, another massage application that is expanding occurs at the companies that, concerned with their employees’ life quality, are making this service available during the work hours in order to release the stress.
