What is Detox Massage?

In combination with a detox diet, a detoxifying massage can help to purge the body of toxins, helping to promote physical and mental wellbeing. If you’ve decided to detox, a massage will be a great way to get maximum results from your plan, and with regular sessions you can look forward to a stronger immune system, better circulation and less stress!

Hands On

A detox massage is a deep tissue massage focussing on the body’s key detox ‘tools’: our muscles, our lymphatic system and our mind. When these three areas are working to maximum efficiency, toxins like artificial additives, pesticides and other foreign nasties are more easily eliminated, and we’ll feel healthier and happier as a result.

Circulate

Massage of any sort helps to perk up the circulation, sending the blood pumping around the body with renewed vigour. With it go oxygen and the fuel we need to function in the form of nutrients, which are turned into energy once they reach our muscles. Our organs benefit too - improved blood circulation encourages them to do their best work, particularly those concerned with the elimination of toxins.

Body Builder

One of the major ways in which a detox massage can benefit your body is by helping to strengthen and relax your muscles. Detox massage techniques work to put pressure on the muscles, stretching them and stimulating them by alternating the pressure of the massage. Relaxed muscles mean your body’s processes can work more efficiently, and strong muscles help to keep the lymphatic system in tip top condition.

Waste Disposal

The lymphatic system, along with the liver, is responsible for much of the body’s natural detox, acting as our own internal waste disposal unit. Having no natural ‘pump’ of its own, the lymphatic system is dependent on strong muscles, efficient breathing and exercise for its function. An overload of toxins can prevent the lymphatic system from working properly, leading to lethargy or illness, but a detox massage stimulates this clever piece of human engineering into action, so that waste can be eliminated more easily.

Mind Gains

Having a detox massage is a fantastic way of freeing your mind from stress and worry, both of which have physical effects on your body’s capacity to handle waste. Stress and exhaustion can lead to illness as we put our systems under constant pressure to perform, and we can often forget, or struggle to find the time, to take good care of ourselves. Convenience meals eaten on the run, liquid lunches and burning the candle at both ends will leave both mind and body feeling the worse for wear.

If you’ve never tried massage before, now is a great time to find out what all the fuss is about. Whether or not you plan to follow a detox diet, massage will bring detox benefits all by itself, so if you’re not quite ready to deprive yourself of all your favourite things, massage is a fantastic no-fuss, low effort way to pamper yourself inside and out.

Muscle Knots: Cause and Solution!

You know what it feels like, a good kind of pain when someone gets their fingers into it, a dull ache that cries out for attention, a sweet spot that once it's found doesn't want to be forgotten, that wants to be kneaded and pressed until it "don't ache no more" ...but what exactly is it? Our muscles are made up of strands of fibres, and these fibres are made up of threads of proteins called sarcomeres. Sarcomeres are the smallest unit of skeletal muscle cells, a single muscle cell contains about 100 000 sarcomeres, (a muscle cell is smaller than the diameter of a strand of hair). The sarcomeres are responsible for the movement of muscle contraction. However the problem begins when they contact and then instead of relaxing they stay contracted. Not much is known about why this may happen, but some possible causes are injury, stress, emotional and physical fatigue, poor postural habits or working positions. Perhaps it is just that the balance of the body has been disrupted for some reason and this is one way the body lets you know it needs some attention. When these sacromere contract the fibres won't loosen, and it is for the likening of this to a tangled piece of rope that we call it a knot. When the fibres tighten the blood flow is restricted, and nutrients and oxygen have a tougher time getting into the belly of the muscle, and the waste has a tough time getting out. This lack of lubrication causes the muscles to become dry and the fibres to become even more entangled, imagine a tangled piece of rope, knotted when in the sea, and then left out in the sun, it dries and is ingrained with salt. This further irritates the sensory nerve endings, which increases the contraction and so perpetuates this cycle. Massage breaks the cycle and through pressure starts to separate the fibres and untangle the knot, thus allowing fluids to move in and waste to move out. Increasing the circulation increases the oxygen and nutrients to the muscle and helps with the untangling process, additionally the sarcomeres are manually stretched and encouraged to stop contracting.

 Just a few points on Massage Therapy you should know!

If you are an athlete or a body builder, a massage chair can be quite handy for you to have. Since body building causes strain on your body, a relaxing massage is quite a relief. Massage has been known to help improve a body builder's performance. Body builders and athletes try to avoid getting an injury. Massage therapy can help build better muscle mass and help prevent injuries.

The following are benefits of massage therapy to a body builder:

1. Improves range of motion of joints and extremities - When you're working out, your muscles will undergo constant stretching and contracting. Though this can help increase muscle mass and develop its shape, it also tightens the muscles and reduces its elasticity. Also, this places your muscles in constant wear and tear that can create scar tissues. This is quite normal for a body builder. However, tight muscles can increase the chances of injury to occur and will also cause muscle pain.

Massage therapy helps soothe your muscles by stretching them sideways. This motion can help decrease tension on your muscles, thus relieving muscle pain. Also, it can help break down scar tissues caused by previous training or injuries, thus increasing mobility.

2. Improves muscle tone and blood circulation to muscle tissues - Blood carries nutrients to different tissues in the body. If you're a body builder, it is important that your muscles get enough nutrients for muscle repair and development. Massage therapy can help improve blood flow to your muscle tissues. This can provide your muscle tissue with enough nutrients for tissue regeneration and build up, reducing the recovery time. With increased circulation of your muscles for tissue repair, it will also help improve muscle tone.

Other than allowing your muscle tissues to receive more nutrients, massage therapy also improves removal of waste products due to metabolism and muscle contractions, like lactic acid. The buildup of lactic acid in your muscles can prevent effective muscular contractions, which causes pain and reduces muscle development. Massage therapy can help improve drainage of lactic acid from muscle tissues relieving pain and allowing effective muscle contractions.

3. Injury prevention - In body building, there is always a risk of getting an injury as you put your body in constant strain and stress. Sports massage therapists may be able to recommend or provide you with a massage program that will help the occurrence of sports-related injury. These therapists provide a massage regimen that is catered for your specific needs. They can help loosen up tight muscles in specific areas, while breaking down scar tissues to improve your performance.

4. Improves stage performance and psychological aspect - When you are about to enter a competition, stress and anxiety can build up in your body. This will add to the stress of working out. This can affect you both mentally and physically. With a soothing massage prior to a competition, you can relax and lower down the tension in your body. This can prepare you mentally and psychologically, giving you enough confidence as you get up on stage.

Deep Tissue Massage by Infinity Massage

What is Deep Tissue Massage?

Deep Tissue Massage is a massage technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the fiber's of the muscles, tendons and fascia.

Deep tissue massage is used to release chronic muscle tension through slower strokes and more direct deep pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles not with the grain. Deep tissue massage helps to break up and eliminate scar tissue. Deep tissue massage usually focuses on more specific areas and may cause some soreness during or right after the massage. However, if the massage is done correctly you should feel better than ever within a day or two.

Why get a Deep Tissue Massage?

It feels good and it is beneficial to your health. When muscles are stressed, they block oxygen and nutrients, leading to inflammation that builds up toxins in the muscle tissue. A deep-tissue massage helps loosen muscle tissues, release toxins from muscles and get blood and oxygen circulating properly. Because many toxins are released, it's important to drink plenty of water after a deep-tissue session to help eliminate these toxins from the body.

What is the purpose of Deep Tissue Massage?

The purpose is to "unstick" the knotted fibers of a muscle while releasing deeply-held patterns of tension, removing toxins, increasing oxygen and nutrients flow into the muscle fibers while relaxing and soothing the muscle. It is both corrective, relaxing and therapeutic.

A great article about Natural Facelift Massage performed by practitioners like Me!

NATURAL FACE LIFT MASSAGE
‘The natural face lift massage aims to treat the client on a physical, emotional and
spiritual level’
Natural face lift massage is a safe, non-invasive healthcare modality. Drawing on ancient Ayurvedic knowledge, energy balancing techniques, specially adapted massage moves, acupressure points and aesthetic principles. Firmly based in tried and trusted bodywork traditions, this revitalising treatment is extraordinary. Natural face lift massage is a unique massage therapy that relaxes your facial and neck muscles, helping your skin to regain its elasticity while encouraging wrinkles and bags to diminish. Performed by a skilled practitioner, the benefits for the recipient are numerous. It is useful to know in advance, that for long-term results, a series of six to eight weekly treatments is recommended. This is because although one session will begin to lessen wrinkles and habitual expression lines, tighten facial contours and improve skin tone, regular sessions have a cumulative effect. As tension in taut facial muscles is released with each session, the techniques used by the natural face lift massage therapist actively promote an improved flow of nutrients to skin cells while stimulating better blood and lymphatic circulation. This helps in the elimination of toxins, creating a fresher, healthier look, and the benefits don’t stop there!
The massage helps to free age-old constrictions in connective tissue and facial muscles, encouraging the connective tissue to glide more smoothly. The result is that under0eye bags and puffiness are reduced, skin elasticity is increased and because the body’s subtle energy is gently balanced throughout the massage, this treatment encourages the recipient’s innate beauty, confidence and inner radiance to shine for everyone to see. A skilled natural face lift massage therapist, together with the co-operation of the client, can generate a glowing look that can last for days. Just like all good complementary health treatments, the lifestyle of the client also plays a major role in getting the very best results.
A natural antidote to ageing stress
For many of us, a busy life with hours spent in front of a computer screen can lead to tired eyes and stress-related symptoms such as headaches, eye-strain and insomnia. The natural face lift massage is excellent for relieving these unwanted by-products of a busy twenty-first century lifestyle. Furthermore, each treatment helps to create brighter, more alert eyes and a face that is truly rested and relaxed. The natural face lift massage offers an original antidote to the ravaging effects of a stressful and less than healthy lifestyle.
A more mobile and youthful appearance
Tension can build up within our facial muscles from the pressures of everyday life without our realising it. It can be easy for certain thoughts and emotions to become habitual, locking themselves into facial expressions sometimes over the duration of a whole lifetime. Under such conditions, muscles can actually ‘dry up’ and contract, inhibiting freedom of expression. This can encourage ageing and the formation of wrinkles, as the face loses its muscle tone and elasticity and begins to sag. Through the simple massage techniques and energy balancing rituals of the natural face lift massage, it’s possible to delay the ageing process thereby giving facial muscles a lift and a new lease of life. Of course, the amazing results can also encourage the client to have a more positive and cheerful outlook on life in general.
How the treatment works
The natural face lift massage therapist works on sections of the face, systematically releasing deep- seated tensions and freeing layers of muscle and connective tissue so that the facial muscles can relax. Microcirculation of blood and lymph is gently restored. The facial tissues glide more smoothly

over the deeper layers of the facial muscles and bones. When the therapist systematically tightens and relaxes the facial muscles during the massage, the entire area is toned up.
The build-up of toxins can sometimes be seen on our faces, making them look saggy, puffy, dull and grey. The natural face lift massage combats these symptoms by including moves, which help the lymphatic system to drain more effectively. The sweeping and concentrated acupressure techniques and precise massage moves encourage improved lymphatic drainage. This in turn helps to remove toxins. Result? The client’s skin regains a healthier appearance and generates a glowing look for days.
The energy balancing processes during the massage stimulates the energy centres around the face. This helps to release blockages in the subtle energy field bringing about emotional and physical releases having a direct effect on the client’s well being.
Client co-operation
Although we all recognise that it’s difficult to stave off the ageing process, we can do much to extend the appearance of youth and beauty by regularly practising facial exercises. A natural face lift massage therapist has a battery of such exercises to offer clients, they are also routinely advised to drink more water. Many lifestyle factors which dehydrate the skin, such as smoking, alcohol consumption, caffeine consumption, excess salt and sugar intake, lack of sleep, stress, time spent in environments where there’s central heating, air conditioning and traffic pollution, can all be examined with the client. Subtle but significant suggestions to aid changes in habits and lifestyle can be made to help the client to become more aware of the part they can play in the process of facial rejuvenation.
A welcome alternative
There are many other facial lifting procedures on offer today including surgery, muscle relaxants, fillers and chemical peels. Some of these treatments require the use of potentially dangerous substances and carry substantial risks. With all of these invasive procedures, the practitioner must be proficient otherwise irreversible mistakes can and often do happen. Some people may find the risks associated with invasive interventions worthwhile, however painful, risky and expensive the procedure is. Nevertheless, a safe alternative can yield very satisfying results. The natural face life massage stands out from m any other treatments because of its therapeutic and holistic approach. This massage is unique as it needs no products, needles, machines or cumbersome equipment. This helps to keep the cost of the treatment at an affordable level for the therapist and client alike.
The natural face lift massage is a massage par excellence! [It is either carried out dry or with natural, organic substances (Aloe Vera gel and pure Frankincense oil famed for its rejuvenating properties).] This is especially good news for anyone who suffers from allergies to skin care products. The natural face lift massage aims to treat the client on a physical, emotional and spiritual level. This is hardly true of many of the so-called lifting procedures that are available today.
Results that speak for themselves
The result is immediate even after just one treatment, but don’t take my word for it, here’s what a satisfied client had to say in Elle Magazine, “When he showed me the difference after half an hour, the treated side appeared much plumper and my eye looked as if it had a lift. If I saw it on someone else I would suspect foul play – it looks like well applied Botox.” (Elle Magazine, April 2009)
