Welcome to Massage at Higher Health Wellness Centre
Massage is perhaps one of the oldest healing traditions. Many ancient peoples – including the Ancient Greeks, Egyptians, Chinese and Indians – were convinced of the therapeutic properties of massage and used it to treat a variety of ailments.
​
Massage therapy is the practice of kneading or manipulating a person’s muscles and other soft-tissue in order to improve their wellbeing or health. It is a form of manual therapy that includes holding, moving, and applying pressure to the muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia.
​
The term ‘massage therapy’ is used to describe a wide variety of techniques that vary in the manner in which touch, pressure and the intensity of the treatment is applied.

MIND
Stressed and tired out
Most people would agree a massage makes them feel good. One reason is that massage has a positive effect on our mental health. Our mind power is one of the most useful powers we possess.
Thoughts are energy, they are powerful. The very thoughts running through your mind can help to manifest the life of your dreams, while having a massage most people can let go of their worries and just be, this allows you time to heal both mentally and physically.
Benefits of Massage
One of the immediate benefits of massage is a feeling of deep relaxation and calm. This occurs because massage prompts the release of endorphins – the brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that produce feelings of wellbeing.
Levels of stress hormones, such as adrenalin, cortisol, and norepinephrine, are also reduced. Studies indicate that high levels of stress hormones impair the immune system.
Some of the physical benefits of massage include:
-
reduced muscle tension
-
improved circulation
-
stimulation of the lymphatic system
-
reduction of stress hormones
-
relaxation
-
increased joint mobility and flexibility
-
improved skin tone
-
improved recovery of soft tissue injuries
-
heightened mental alertness
-
reduced anxiety and depression.
BODY Massage
Therapy for Health
It may simply look like a lot of pressing and kneading on skin, but massage is actually a scientific process. The reason you feel different after a massage is because it is healing and invigorating tired, aching or injured muscles. Massage increases blood and lymph circulation.
Lymph is a fluid that rids body tissues of waste, is dependent on the squeezing effect of muscles. An active person has better lymph flow than an inactive person.
However, stimulation from vigorous activity can lead to increased waste, which can negate the benefit. This is where massage has a huge advantage. Massage can dramatically aid lymph movement, which together with blood, supplies nutrients and oxygen and rids wastes and toxins. It is easy to understand why good circulation is so important to our health and why massage can be so beneficial just for this purpose.
