MASSAGES The massage (from the greek massein which means "mix", "shape") is a form of ancient therapy and also one of the most natural acts we perform every day, since it is instinctive rub a sore shoulder, or rub the body part that hurts us. In practice it is a set of different operations performed on the body to relieve muscle or joint pain, to tone the volume of certain tissues, but also to preserve and improve the psychological well-being, releasing tension and fatigue. There are several different types, with different purposes: relaxing, muscle, sports, pain relief, drainage, cellulite. The positive effects The "virtue" of massage are countless. Starting with relaxation, that allows itself to regenerate the body, balancing the nervous and hormonal system, but the list of positive effects that this technique brings move is long: Attenuation of voltage signals present in the form of cramps and muscle spasms; Enhancement of the immune system, thanks to the fact that the movement and muscle contractions are an effective way to circulate the lymphatic fluid (which removes toxins) within the organism; Improved circulation, since the movements made during the massage allow to push the blood in the direction of the heart. In practice, it facilitates the exchange at the cellular level, blood containing toxins, with new blood rich in nutrients; Eliminates dead cells and absorbing elements that nourish the skin, leaving it velvety and helping it to breathe; Production of a feeling of well-being due to the fact of being petted and pampered.

TYPES OF MASSAGES There are several types of massages: The relaxing massage helps relieve stress and fatigue and makes us feel cared for and pampered. The areas of the body where tensions are accumulated are several: from the head to the neck, arms, back, feet. Thanks to the massage increases the flexibility of the body, improves blood circulation, stimulates the flow of energy and helps to produce a feeling of intense vitality. The sport massage is considered an integral part of the training of every athlete. Especially in need of care are legs and feet. The rest of the lower extremities work hard throughout the day and if you are not good dosing forces, there is a risk that these muscles build up tensions. The rehabilitation massage (ex. physiotherapy) helps firms after injury or surgery, recovery and return to normal. In these cases it is appropriate to rely on the care of a physical therapist. The aesthetic massage (ex. lymphodraining) softens the skin and can lead to a reduction of cellulite. This will depend on poor function of metabolism that creates a swelling, that is an accumulation of fat located mainly on the legs. With the massage can act on the lymphatic vessels making possible the output of the lymph that, for various reasons, has accumulated between the skin and the muscle.

4 THE MASSAGE MANEUVERS The maneuvers that are used to massage are the touch, friction, kneading and percussion. Touch Precedes all the movements of the massage. Hands, palms facing down, slide the skin giving himself alternately changing, so constant in the direction of the current vein. The movements are slow and very light. The purpose of the operation is to establish a contact with the patient's own mind and body, improve circulation and calm the nerves under tension. Friction Compared to the touch is more energetic. Its action penetrates deeply restoring elasticity to tissues and reactivating the venous and lymphatic reabsorption. The movements are linear, slow and transversal to the muscle to be treated. The fingers touch the surface layer of the skin, but are lower than those receiving the beneficial influence. Kneading Is carried out using a maneuver that acts on the transversal axis of the muscle with alternating movements. Reaches deep to eliminate the voltage and, simultaneously, stimulates a wide surface of the epidermis. It is practiced mainly in the areas of the body with a bulky muscle mass such as the thighs, hips and buttocks. During this phase we perform a number of actions ranging from the pressing of the same muscle relaxation, allowing the elimination of waste responsible for fatigue. Percussion It is based on a series of shots close, rhythmical, more or less rapid. The movements of percussion of the skin can occur in a fixed area or advancement of fingers and hands. The effects are especially challenging, since it promotes vasodilation and increased muscle contractility. We usually use at the end of the massage to restore tone.

5 THE MASSAGE ZONE The areas that are affected by the operations described above are massage the face and head, neck and shoulders, arms and hands, legs and feet. FACE AND HEAD Face and head are our calling card and often become the part of the body that best shows stress and fatigue. Eyes and mouth in cases of anxiety and pain tend to absorb defects contracting and promoting premature aging of the face. Massage can restore a feeling of lightness and serenity, restoring a healthy glow to the face and shiny. On the scalp the slow movement and deep relaxes completely, eliminating most of the time headache and anxiety. NECK AND SHOULDERS A poor driving position or, more commonly, sitting at the desk in front of a computer or to study, leads to a stiffening of the muscles and tension in the shoulders and neck. A sedentary lifestyle and lack of exercise complete the work. The shoulders, especially, are among the parts of the body unless treated, where also affect the psychological aspects such as anxiety and frustration. The massage is imperative in to dissolve these tensions and convey serenity. ARMS AND HAND Are among the most active and used in the body. Especially the hands are used for any action that is likely to present themselves stiff and tired. It's always the hands to be most affected by poor circulation: the immediate effect is that they become cold. The secret of a good hand massage is to make smaller movements without neglecting detail. The massage of the upper limbs can relax both shoulders and arms, often to win headaches, back pain and neck. In these cases, and pain related to sports, it is better to consult a physiotherapist or an osteopath.

6 ABDOMEN Thanks to massage the abdomen and chest, you get the benefits of organs involved in digestion and breathing. In the first case the abdominal massage contributes with the increase in blood flow and the elimination of toxins, as regards, instead, the second point, the massage is useful both to maintain the health of the respiratory system that to increase resistance. Among the advantages, as well as to calm the nerves and stimulate the digestive system, there is also to dissolve fat deposits from the abdominal wall. BACK It is quite common to suffer from back pain, although often we do not know the cause. Moreover, the dorsal region is the zone that more tends to be more fastigiated and injured. The back is the most muscular area of our trunk and has the function to load the weight; back pain spreads both between the shoulders and in the lower part and, usually, is attributed to incorrect positions, to overweight, stress. Therefore, it is normal for most people, at the end of a tiring day, feel upset at the base of neck, stiffness and difficulty in movement of the back. A immediately affected by this state of tension, is the trapezius, the muscle that lies at the base of the skull. But if on the one hand the dorsal region is the one most affected by fatigue, on the other hand is always on the back that the relaxing effects of a good massage feel more. LEGS AND FEET Thick legs and feet ache with fatigue or circulation problems: it is not rare, in fact, feeling cold extremities. In this regard, nothing, perhaps, is more relaxing than a massage, thanks to which the whole body seems to be reborn. Moreover, the sole of the foot contains thousands of nerve endings which, when stimulated, help to strengthen the body.

The ultimate goal of Traditional Thai Massage is, both for those who practice it for and who receive it, to achieve a state of "lightness" and emotional and spiritual elevation. Its origins are lost in mystery, but it seems to derive from a combination of Indian Ayurvedic medicine, Yoga and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Buddhism was the main vehicle through which the diffusion of Ayurveda was brought from India to the rest of Asia.
