Summary: Massage therapy is a practice with a multiplicity of benefits. Whether it’s a quick rubdown or a full-body treatment, the human touch has practical applications for promoting both physical and emotional well-being. The basic idea behind massage is the use of motion, pressure, tension, and vibration on certain areas of the body, localized around muscles or joints in pain or under stress. This allows a release of tension and a return to a homeostatic condition. Therefore, massage is very important for general stress relief, pain management, preventing muscle injury, encouraging physical and emotional healing, or improving circulation.

In this free massage video series a masseur, Bil Mitchell, will demonstrate the technique for massaging various parts of the body. Mitchell will reveal several useful methods for alleviating pain and releasing stress that can build up all over the body. He'll demonstrate how to massage the thighs, forearms, feet, ankles, shoulder, calves, back, neck, scalp, hands and even the hair. These techniques are great for improving relaxation.
