The word massage derives from the French “masser” and Arabic “mass-touch”. Massage is the manipulation of the surface of the organism for the purpose of treatment or rest. The aim is to treat the skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscles, internal organs, metabolism, circulatory and lymphatic systems mechanically and neurologically. During the application, the massage can be done slowly or quickly. This is completely shaped according to the purpose of the massage applied to the patient. Slow massage stimulates the nerve cells in the skin and has a relaxing, soothing and relaxing effect, while fast massage has a stimulating effect.
Since massage can be applied for various purposes, the needs of the person should be determined before the therapy and manipulations should be applied to the right points with appropriate techniques by expert hands. Massage can be applied to relieve localized pain in muscles or internal organs, relieve spasms and cramps, increase circulation, and dissolve fluid accumulations in tissues. By reducing stagnation in the lymph tissue, unnecessary blood accumulation in the veins can be eliminated. Hardening called scar tissue can be reduced. The most important effects of massage are to increase blood flow and the oxygen ratio in the blood, accelerate the regeneration of tissues, remove metabolic residues, regulate muscle tension, and facilitate the removal of fluids accumulated in the bronchi in respiratory diseases.
