Massage has existed for centuries in places like, Europe, Asia, the Pacific Islands and North and South America.   Although there are various types of massage, they have one thing in common.  That is using the hands and fingers to manipulate the soft tissues in the body.

The goal of massage is to improve circulation, relaxation and decrease tension in the muscles.  What we are looking at doing is showing how you can use a foam roller and a massage ball to massage various parts of your body to promote relaxation, health, and wellbeing.

We are not trying to replace what your massage therapist.  Think of massaging yourself being like the self-maintenance you carry out on your car.  When you take your car into the mechanic for a checkup, you reduce the risk of having a major repair cost.  When you see your massage therapist, they can do more to help with the health and wellbeing of your body.

1. Reduces tension and pain in the muscles. Using a foam roller and massage ball can help release knots and tightness in the muscles leading to an improvement in flexibility and mobility.
2. Improves relaxation and reduces stress. This creates a calming and soothing experience that can help you recover after a long day.
3. Improves circulation. Massage has been shown to improve the supply of oxygen rich blood that can promote healing, improve recovery and reduce inflammation throughout the body.

Improvement in creativity.  When tension in the body and mind is released, your mind is open to new ideas and creative thinking.

This can also improve focus and productivity leading to an improvement in workplace performance and reduce the negative effects of sitting long hours of sitting at the desk.
