A few words on massotherapy/bodywork
The Swedish massage takes place with a series of maneuvers aimed at working the muscles and the joints in order to tone them or release the tension held in them.
When we receive a massage, our nervous system becomes parasympathetic. Somewhat like sleeping, our bodies are on standby and subject to repair, to heal themselves. After a massage, we sometimes feel as we do after a long night of sleep. This is parasympathy. The relaxing effect associated with massage therapy.
In massage, the blood circulation is activated, our white blood cells “agitate” to clean and prevent infections.
It is the set of connective tissues including tendons and ligaments that supports the bones of the body. The fascia envelops each of the muscles and our thoracic and adbominopelvic organs. The fascia represents the continuity, the opposite of the rupture. For example, it is possible you receive a therapeutic touch on the back and you feel a warmth in the calf. Listening to what one feels is the key to optimal fasciatherapy.
In fasciatherapy, therapists put their hands on the person’s body to listen to the natural and extremely subtle movement of the fascia. Then, maneuvers will be practiced according to the restrictions and the vitality of the tissues. Very often, the maneuvers used quickly plunge the person into deep relaxation (para-sympathetic nervous system).
These maneuvers will fit well during a Swedish massage.
Yes. The fascia, the envelope that covers our musculoskeletal system possess a memory related to the emotions. It is possible that during a massage, we awaken an emotion linked to an event of the past, or an emotional injury. What if this happens? It is certainly possible to stop the massage, breathe, discuss it if necessary. We can decide to resume or stop the massage for the day. We can greet it and let it go, like a wave.
However, in general, the massage will have pleasant effects during and after. ☺ To avoid feeling soreness after a massage, tell me if the pressure is too strong and drink plenty of water rest of the day. Your muscles have been worked as they would have been during physical effort, just without the cardio.
