Up to the twentieth Century massaging patients was an integral part of a doctor’s practice. A doctor was not considered competent or reliable unless his massage technique was effective. Unfortunately due to time constraints and the boundaries of medical insurance the medical profession has lost touch with touch.

“The massage was amazing. I was very tight in my back, shoulders and neck. I feel very relaxed. Thanks, massage Sydney. I’ll be back..” Max, Randwick. Sydney

Massage is the system of repetitious touch that allows healing and balance to develop in the body and mind of the receiver. The intent of therapeutic touch is not to affect change in a specific area of the body, but rather to affect change in the whole body. Thus, every cell of the body after a treatment of therapeutic touch can be working better.

“I was greatly pleased with my massage. After I left I felt energized and refreshed. I am definitely coming back.” Bob, Mosman

By working in this holistic manner the therapist is more likely to rid the patient of pain and stress found any where in the body. For instance, one may have neck or back pain induced by sore feet or ankles. By addressing the lower extremities through the massage the therapist can realize that the reason of the patient’s back pain was from an uneven and unsteady gait created by untreated calluses on their feet.

Therapeutic massage involves the soft tissue release of the muscles, tendons and ligaments which enables the patient to realize greater flexibility. When passive stretching is a part of a session, the receiver will experience a further release and improved range of motion.

An experienced massage therapist employs a range of strokes and methods of palpation during the session that assist to open up the body’s many nerve pathways and muscles that surround the nerve network. Tight muscles lack blood and therefore cannot function properly until this condition is reversed. The nerve network, the muscles, and soft tissue are nourished with oxygen during the massage as more blood is entering these areas.

It is helpful when the massage therapist has a coordinated knowledge of exercise and movement, diet and nutrition, hydrotherapy, homeopathy, and any other healing modality that may help the patients help themselves between treatments.
