Massage
Gibson Massotherapy offers advanced massage therapy in West Akron (Fairlawn), Ohio. Massage is actually one of the oldest forms of healing, dating back at least three thousand years. With the current popularity of alternative medicine and “Touch Therapies”, Americans are finally joining the rest of the world in acknowledging and using this natural approach to healthcare.
Massage as manual medicine, for pain relief and emotional healing, incorporates many different methods. Some therapies focus on the nervous system or connective tissue network while others concentrate on circulation or muscle tone. Still others influence meridian energy flow or encourage emotional insight. On this page we touch upon Swedish massage.
Please note that Randall is currently doing very little Swedish (or Relaxation) massage
as he focuses on advanced craniosacral methods.
Relaxation Massage (Swedish Massage for Stress Reduction)
Swedish Massage is what most people think of when they think of massage. Muscles are kneaded, manipulated, rubbed and stretched. The goal is to increase circulation to all parts of the body, cleansing toxins from the tissues, encouraging tense muscles to relax and generally bringing the client to a state of peaceful euphoria. The Integrative Bodywork offered at Gibson Massotherapy may include some of these techniques when needed but they are adjuncts to the craniosacral therapy and myofascial therapy which is the foundation of our work. If you want deep relaxation and healing, you’ve come to the right place.
