Therapeutic massage involves manipulation of the soft tissue structures of the body to prevent and alleviate pain, discomfort, muscle spasm, and stress. It also improves the functioning of the circulatory, lymphatic, and nervous systems and may improve the rate at which the body recovers from injury or illness. In addition to the many physical benefits of giving or receiving a massage, there can be profound psychological effects that enrich both massage participants. BEwell*PLAYwell offers the opportunity to learn a variety of massage types: Hawaiian Lomi Lomi, Myofascial Release, Sports, Swedish, and Trager Psychophysical Integration. You can read full descriptions of the massage types on the Individual Sessions page.
In this class, you learn the basic massage strokes, proper draping, and good use of body mechanics. Additionally, you learn how to assess the receiver's history and preferences.
For a good massage, the receiver communicates their preferences and the giver competently performs basic massage strokes. In a great massage, a creative dance evolves between the giver, who is creating an artwork of delicious strokes, and the receiver, who is developing mindfulness of the moment. The focused intention of the giver is a primary ingredient that determines the effect of any approach, ranging from the simplest gesture of comfort to the many forms of bodywork. Learn to take your massage experience to the next level in this class.
The Art of Massage Club is designed for partners who have working knowledge of basic massage techniques and want to expand their skills. The class meets monthly, providing partners with a scheduled time for personal exchange within the hectic page of daily living. Weather permitting, the evening begins with a hot soak in the outdoor spa. |
