Today I would like to talk about the subject extremely close
to my heart – healing massage.
You have probably heard about the healing benefits of
massage therapy services. In fact, there’s a huge body of medical research that
supports the use of massage therapy for healthy mind and body. In addition to
the healing aspect, people often forget about the myriad of ways bodywork
therapy can enhance performance for athletes and others who need to stay in top
shape to do their jobs.
While massage is a hands-on technique focused on working
directly with your muscles and other soft tissue, some massage therapists also
incorporate energy healing techniques into their massage therapy practice.
Energy healing is based on the belief that promoting the
flow of energy in your body helps your body balance and heal itself. Although
Western medicine has been slow to recognize the value of energy healing, some
research does increasingly support benefits from energy techniques.
One of my favourite healing techniques is Therapeutic Touch,
where therapists place their hands on or near their patient's body with the
intention to help or heal. In doing so, therapists believe that they are
consciously directing or modulating an individual's energies by interacting
with his or her energy field. The focus is on balancing the energies of the
total person and stimulating the body's own natural healing ability rather than
on the treatment of specific physical diseases.
The goal of Therapeutic Massage is to assist the recipient in
tapping into their own healing process and to restore wholeness and wellbeing
at the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels of the person.
Therapeutic Massage does not attempt to cure disease, but
rather to stimulate the body's natural healing process. I strongly believe that this therapy promotes health and
wellbeing and eases the dying process.
Patients who are undergoing chemotherapy or radiation have found it
helpful in reducing side effects of treatment, such as nausea, vomiting,
weakness, or fatigue. Others have seen reduced feelings of anxiety or grief.
Therapeutic Massage can benefit people of all ages and all
states of health or illness, as well as plants and animals.
Therapeutic Massage Therapy is generally very safe, but
precautions need to be taken with pregnant women (since there is more than one
energy field), and people with some forms of mental illness. Experienced
practitioners will take these factors into account.
Where can you find a practitioner?
The best way to choose a practitioner is to get a referral
from a trusted source. Before you visit, ask the practitioner about his or her
educational preparation and experience. Make sure the practitioner has
completed three levels of training and a supervised mentorship.
Explain your specific needs and ask if he/she has worked
with similar cases and if he/she can confidently serve you. You should feel
comfortable working with the Healing Massage practitioner.
