What is a Massage ?
MASSAGE
The word ‘massage’ is thought to have been derived from the French for the ‘friction of kneading’ or possibly from the Arabic word ‘massa’ meaning to ‘touch, feel or handle’.
A massage can fall into variety of categories from anything from a relaxing Swedish or Hawaiian massage, to a firmer deep tissue, remedial or Chinese massage and even to Ayurvedic massages with healing properties.
The client usually lays down on a specially designed massage table and can be clothed or unclothed, depending on the type of massage and the clients’ level of modesty. Often lotions and oils are used to lubricate the body allowing for a smoother stroking of the body.
The treatments can last anywhere from 5 minutes to over an hour. There is usually one therapist working on the client but can include as many as 4 for certain massages.
