What are the psychological benefits of massage?

Massage has a variety of psychological effects which vary based on the type of massage you are receiving. Slower, deeper, or more flowing massage techniques can be soothing and relaxing. Swedish massage and Reflexology are two examples of very relaxing and soothing massage modalities. There are other forms of massage which use a faster pace and more vigorous movement, or that require more interaction from the recipient, which can be invigorating and energizing, such as Thai massage and Rolfing. A few common psychological effects include... -Relaxed feeling -Improved body awareness -Sleepiness -Reduced stress and anxiety -Improved mood Massage Therapy can stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is extremely important for good health and well being. In our busy world, our sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight reflex), is always being triggered by psychological stimuli. Our bodies were not designed to be in constant fight or flight mode and many health issues can arise when the body is not allowed to relax effectively. There have been several studies showing the importance of nurturing touch on a person's well-being. Babies, often orphans, who are not held, cuddled, and touched in a nurturing nature are more likely to have developmental issues, health problems, and psychological issues than babies who were held and nurtured regularly. Also, people with disabilities, the aging who receive little physical interaction, and those with body image issues can benefit from massage by having someone touch them in a nurturing and caring way.

What is the difference between massage therapy and therapeutic massage?

There is no difference between those terms, they are referring to the same thing since all massage is therapeutic, therefore, all therapeutic massage is part of massage therapy. Other opinions: Massage Therapy is a general term for all the forms of massage available to be practiced by certified or licensed massage therapists. Therapeutic massage is a type of massage offered to those looking for health and wellness benefits. Therapeutic massage can combine many different types of massage in order to help a client with aches and pains or limited range of motion. There is a type of massage called Therapeutic Touch, which is a type of energy work that allows practitioners to sense imbalances in the body and correct them with a non-invasive touch. They will use a very light touch or hold a hand over the spot where an imbalance is sensed and will use energy to break up the blockages that may be causing chronic pain.

What is another name for a massage therapist?

Massage therapists are also sometimes called bodyworkers. Modern massage therapists are not called "masseuses" or "masseurs", because those are older terms that were used in the past to denote a laborer usually trained first as an apprentice. Massage therapist is the preferred term by professionals today because they have completed an academic program where they earned a certificate and then, usually, passed a state test in order to obtain their license to practice. So with this promotion to a higher standard of respectability, we are proud to be referred to as therapists.
