Many people don't know how to massage, but they are keen to offer massage treatments for their loved ones. They want to know what types of massage are possible. They also wonder what they can do to deliver a great, effective massage. If you find yourself in a situation where you may be asked to massage someone, consider all of the massage options.

Acupressure is a popular type of massage. Acupressure massage focuses on relaxing tension and stress. This kind of massage is especially effective at relieving pain and targeting painful trigger points in the body for fast relief. Acupressure can be used to treat pain and inflammation.

Another common type of massage is Swedish massage. Swedish massage targets tension release and associated feelings like anxiety and sexual stimulation. Swedish massage is a combination of long strokes, gentle pressure and various acupressure points. The Swedish technique is similar to that of acupuncture. It uses specific acupressure points in conjunction with the Swedish method to reach the patient's qi. Some practitioners believe that qi, which is energy, is responsible for healing. They suggest that by opening or closing meridians that flow through your body, you can alleviate many symptoms that are associated with sickness and disease.

Nausea is also relieved by acupressure. If you have been experiencing nausea, you know how difficult it can be. The nausea can range from being a mild inconvenience to being debilitating, depending on the type and duration of the nausea. You might need a massage therapist to help you if your nausea has become unbearable. Acupressure has been shown to relieve nausea in many cases.

Chinese medicine practitioners believe that meridians can become unbalanced or blocked and cause different health conditions. Acupressure is used to release blockages in specific points along your meridians of energy. Different areas of the body are targeted with particular points along your meridians. These points can be treated to improve the flow of energy or qi along their meridians. This will improve your overall health as well as your well-being.

Acupressure is similar to acupuncture in that it uses both long and short strokes of pressure. For unblocking your meridians, long strokes and compressions are used. Short strokes of acupressure are used to relax your muscles and stimulate relaxation. The result is a decrease of pain, increased circulation, and an increase of qi. It can also release toxins.

It is important to keep in mind that although you may feel better after your first session, if you continue to experience nausea after your second or third session, then you should discontinue your therapy. You may also experience nausea from stress, food allergies, fatigue, improper meal preparation, and other factors. There isn't a clear cause for some people who feel nausea after receiving massages. If you experience nausea after your third massage, it's possible that there is a more serious reason. Acupressure may be an alternative to traditional medicine. Before you attempt it, make sure you consult your physician.

Acupressure is an ancient art and science dating back thousands of years. Today, it is still widely used in the east, and is also often used as a complementary therapy for other medical conditions such as cancer, hypertension, anxiety, chronic pain, and migraines. Acupressure can be used to increase blood flow, improve energy, and relieve pain. These acupressure points are called meridians. Each meridian has its own acupressure points.
