Self-massage: Therapeutic Techniques To Relax, Soothe And Stimulate Your Body
(Monika Struna with Connie Church)
The health boom is on and a great majority of us have made organic foods, an abundance of vitamins, and jogging and exercise a regular part of our lives. Whether we are six or sixty, ?looking good and feeling good? has become a way of life ? and a necessary one if we are to function effectively and happily in our frantic, fast-paced society.
Self-Massage is a massage book with a difference. It is a soundly based, medical- and fitness-oriented guide to toning up muscles and skin while relaxing stressed parts of the body.
Massage is not a new concept. It is the earliest known form of healing ? touch ? developed over thousands of years and surviving into modern technological society. Almost every culture has employed it, including the Celts, Goths, Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans.
Self-Massage offers a systematic approach to self-healing as well as a chance to create your own beautiful well-being, according the author.
The book combines the massage systems of East and West for simplified everyday use. This is a systematic and stimulating approach to self-healing; providing you with a simple and enjoyable treatment that will leave you with improved muscle tone, a stimulated circulatory system and a glowing, healthy skin.
This unique therapy is simultaneously passively relaxing and actively exercising, strengthening the muscles that are doing the massaging while soothing those that are receiving it.
The author talks about the functions of massage in our body systems and the way in which excessive and chronic tension impedes fluid exchange and lessens the muscle?s ability to contract.
We learn that massage acts as a mechanical cleanser as it increases the interchange of tissue fluids emptied into the blood capillary and lymphatic network; removing the products of fatigue and inflammation.
Self-Massage is for everyone: the athlete and the office worker, the bedridden and the active ? in fact, anyone who would like an effective and pleasurable approach to self-healing and wellbeing.
