Massage and Bodywork

Massage and bodywork is a form of complementary and alternative medicine that has been used for centuries to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve overall health and well-being. Massage therapists use their hands or various tools to apply pressure to the body's muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This can help to improve circulation, reduce pain, and release tension.

There are many different types of massage, each with its own unique benefits. Some of the most common types of massage include:

• Swedish massage: This is a general massage that is used to relax the body and relieve stress.

• Deep tissue massage: This type of massage is used to target deeper muscle tissues and can help to relieve pain and improve flexibility.

• Sports massage: This type of massage is used to help athletes recover from injuries and improve performance.

• Trigger point massage: This type of massage is used to target specific trigger points, which are areas of muscle tension that can cause pain.

Massage and bodywork can be beneficial for people of all ages and fitness levels. It is especially helpful for people who are experiencing stress, pain, or anxiety. Massage can also help to improve sleep, boost the immune system, and increase energy levels.

Be aware of the potential risks of massage. Massage can cause temporary soreness, but more serious side effects are rare. If you have any concerns, be sure to talk to your therapist before getting a massage. At Beauty by the River, we provide a consult form to ensure all possible contraindications are accounted for. We will also go over the process of your chosen massage so that you may understand what is involved and whether or not this will suit your needs.
