Therapeutic Massage has existed as long as there have been human beings. It is a natural instinct to “rub away pain” which is the simplest form of massage. The purpose is to “release” the fibers of a muscle while releasing deeply-held patterns of tension. Therapeutic massages also release toxins, while relaxing and soothing the muscle. It is both corrective and therapeutic. Toxins and inflammation can contribute to pain and stress in the body. Because many toxins are released in a deep tissue massage, it is very important to consume a lot of water after a deep tissue session.
