Relaxation Massage To Reduce Stress

Ripple Relaxation Massage Reviews

  • “I had a therapist come to my home after a stressful week of uni. She arrived 10 minutes early so that she had time to set up and we were under way right on the agreed starting time. She was so lovely and made me feel so comfortable. She had all the top notch equipment and was more than prepared to pamper me. Her massage bed was super comfortable and I could of literally fallen asleep on it. She gave a relaxation massage which again almost put me to sleep, as I fell into utter bliss.” Julie, Carrara, Relaxation Massage Gold Coast – more

Relaxation Massage Techniques

Tapotement or tapping – Here the therapists taps the muscles with the edge of the hand, tips of the fingers or with a closed fist to release tension and cramping. This technique invigorates muscles before relaxing them.

Vibration or shaking – this is performed at the end of the massage when the therapist presses her hands on the back or limbs and rapidly shakes them for a few seconds. This stroke is particularly helpful for relieving back pain.

Relaxation massage, or Swedish massage, is the most popular of all traditional European style massages.

Developed by Per Henrik Link in the 1700s, who merged Western and Eastern healing techniques, it was the first organised and systematic method of modern therapeutic massage in the Western world.

Using oil or lotion, relaxation massage incorporates the following strokes.

Effleurage – Meaning touching lightly, effleurage comprises long gliding strokes from the neck to the base of the spine, or from the shoulder to the fingertips.

Done with the entire hand or the pads of the thumb, it helps relax the muscles while also enabling the therapist to examine the texture and quality of the muscle tissue.

Friction or rubbing – This consists of deep circular movements of the thumb pads or fingertips around the joints and other bony areas to break down adhesion or knots of muscle fiber which develop in response to muscular trauma or pain.
