‹‚     THE BASIC HISTORY of MASSAGE

  ‹‘     Massage has been used throughout history as a form of pain relief and relaxation. Massage dates back as far as 3000 B.C. in ancient China. Throughout the centuries many different forms of massage have been founded and perfected.

‹‘     Up until the late 1940's and 1950's, massage was considered a legitimate medicinal option for back pain and many other ailments. With the arrival of the infamous "massage parlours", the reputation of massage took a nosedive. It became associated with sex and prostitution.

‹‘     In the 1980's there was a renewed interest in the traditional massage techniques in the United States. Over the last few years much work has been done to legitimize the massage profession. Legislation has been passed in many states to help regulate massage therapy. Texas is no exception!

‹‘     Every day massage is becoming more and more accepted throughout the country. Many chiropractors and doctors recognize massage as an alternative health care. Even some insurance plans cover massage therapy treatments.

Massage Therapists fix more problems by accident than doctors do on purpose.

"Dr. Brett's massage therapy is based upon a sound knowledge of the body and a deep understanding of how massage therapy can heal muscular stress".        Mr. Howell, Atty. at Law.

The idea that touch can heal is an old one...But in recent years massage has regained respectability and now enjoys unprecedented popularity...And science is confirming what we knew in our hearts—that, as psychiatrist James Gordon puts it, "massage is medicine."

Benefits of Massage Therapy

The effects of massage differ from one client to another depending on the needs of the individual and the goals and intentions with which the massage is administered. This is why massage on two different people may render different results. In addition to physical effects from massage therapy, the client may experience mental and emotional reactions. Massage is a safe and beneficial health aid for everyone from infants to the elderly, except when there are certain health problems.

Massage helps prevent and relieve muscle cramps and spasms and can improve circulation of blood. It can increase metabolism, hastens healing, relaxes and refreshes the muscles, and detoxifies the total body.

Massage prevents and relieves stiffness and soreness of muscles. Muscles fatigued by work or exercise can be quickly restored by massage. 1 hour of massage is equal to approximately 3 hours of total body rest.

Massage relieves fatigue, reduces tension and anxiety, calms the nervous system and promotes a sense of relaxation and renewed energy.

Many people suffer from stress and find that massage promotes relaxation as it soothes away minor aches and pains. For some clients, regular massage keeps them feeling more youthful and encourages them to pay more attention to proper nutrition, exercise, and good health practices.

Seated chair massage is an abbreviated massage usually lasting ten to twenty minutes and is well suited to a short, relaxing break in a busy hectic day. It has been shown that corporate massage increases productivity, raises employee morale, and reduces sick leave.

Dr.Brett will come to Your residence or office, with all equipment needed. In addition, the stressful 'drive home afterwards' event is eliminated.

Depending on the primary technique your therapist uses, you may or may not need to undress. For a full body Swedish massage most people undress completely though you may choose to wear underwear. Your massage therapist will give you privacy to undress, and you are normally covered except for the area being worked on.

WHAT SHOULD I DO DURING MY MASSAGE?

Many people just close their eyes and relax completely during a session; others prefer to talk. It’s your massage, and whatever feels natural to you is the best way to relax. Do not hesitate to ask questions at any time.

The desire to sigh or take a deep breath is a sign that you are relaxing. In fact, deep natural breaths can actually help you relax.

The saying "no pain, no gain" is not true for massage and bodywork. The most effective and deepest

massage works with the body’s natural responses, not against them. Working in the area of an injury or chronic pain may at first cause some discomfort, which usually lessens in the first few minutes. Your massage therapist knows ways to minimize pain, and will work carefully within what feels right to you. Always tell your therapist if you feel any discomfort so she or he can adjust.
