Massage by Body Logic

What is Massage?

Massage or bodywork takes place in a warm, comfortable, quiet room to help you relax. Massage is the practice of applying pressure or vibration to soft tissues of the body, including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, and joints. It can be applied to parts of the body or the whole body.

Massage can also be done with heated stones that are placed to relax and repair tired muscles while they calm nerves and clear the mind. This technique is known as La Stone and is great if you like warmth.

Pregnancy Massage

What is prenatal massage?

Prenatal massage shares many of the goals of regular massage — to relax tense muscles, ease sore spots, improve circulation and mobility, and just make you feel good. But it's also tailored specifically to the needs of pregnant women and their changing bodies, and therapists who are trained in prenatal massage adjust their techniques accordingly.

How do you lie on the table?

Most women find it uncomfortable to lie facedown right from the start of pregnancy because of their tender, swollen breasts. And you can't lie facedown once your belly is starting to grow. On the other hand, it's not a good idea to lie flat on your back either, particularly once you're past mid-pregnancy, because the weight of your uterus puts too much pressure on the vein that returns blood from your legs to your heart.

For this reason, some prenatal massage therapists use a special table or pad with hollowed out areas to accommodate your belly, and often your breasts as well, so you can lie facedown. If only a traditional massage table is available, you can lie on your side and hug a full-length body pillow for support.

Chair Massage

Ofice chair massage has become very popular for its portability and its capacity to offer therapeutic massage to a large number of people in a short period of time. Clients remain clothed keeping turn-around times short and helping to create a comfortable environment. Receiving just five or ten minutes of chair massage has been found to be effective for relief of aches and pains and reduction of stress.
