While no two massage therapy training courses are identical, typical instruction entails basic studies in anatomy, physiology, pathology and kinesiology - where it goes from there is entirely dependent upon the healing arts school in which one enrolls. For example, if you would like a foundational course in bodywork, then common techniques taught in most massage therapy training programs encompass Swedish massage, sports massage and deep tissue massage. However, if you would like to take more advanced massage therapy training, then a large number of alternative health schools may provide in-depth, practical training a wider assortment of massage modalities.

I appreciate this information about the benefits of a massage. It is good to know that massages can help with headaches. My sister would get chronic migraines and found great relief through regular massages. She would recommend this option to everyone.

It really is surprising that so few people know about what other benefits a massage can provide outside of rest and relaxation. Fortunately, the article does a great job of putting a little list together. In particular, I like that it brings up anxiety at number one because that is something that a lot of people deal with and are always looking for ways to handle.

Thanks for the information on the benefits of getting a massage, it was very helpful. I had no idea that massage therapy could actually help with digestive disorders, I thought it was mostly muscular benefits.

As we all know that we are too busy in our lives and doesn't have time to relax both body and mind. My suggestion is to have a massage therapy once or two in a week to lower the level of stress and pain in your stiffed body.
