Goals and benefits
Massage as therapy
The word massage originates from the Arabic mass or mash (to rub, press) or the Greek masso (to knead, handle). This shows that the physical and psychological benefits of massage have been recognised since ancient times, with the aim of achieving a perfect psycho-physical balance.
Today, modern scientific research has definitively recognised massage as an effective therapy, clearly defining its mechanisms of action, indications, and potential
contraindications.
Massage acts on the skin, the muscles, connective tissue, blood and lymphatic circulation, hormone release.
As a result, it promotes muscle relaxation, improves circulation, nourishes the skin and other tissues, and aids the elimination of metabolic waste. Additionally, the release of hormones and neurotransmitters during massage reduces fatigue and pain, enhances mood, and provides a deep sense of well-being.
Massage is often performed with the help of vegetable and essential oils, which facilitate movement during treatment, soften the skin, and deliver beneficial substances to the tissues, further enhancing the effects of the massage.
Massage is a way of taking care of oneself and improving quality of life, especially when integrated synergically with other therapeutic or rehabilitative activities.
