12 Types of Massage

Swedish Massage

Swedish massage—one of the most common types of massage therapy—involves manipulating the body’s soft tissues with long strokes, light pressure, and kneading or tapping. It’s designed to promote relaxation, loosen up tight muscles, and improve circulation.

 

Researchers have found that Swedish massage can help to:

 
  • Reduce joint and muscle pain
  • Decrease heart rate, blood pressure, and anxiety levels
  • Boost immune function and reduce inflammation
 

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage aims to release tension in your muscles by manipulating deeper layers of soft tissue. It involves much firmer pressure than Swedish massage. This type of massage therapy may be right for you if you have chronic pain, underlying conditions, or sports injuries.

 

Studies indicate that deep tissue massage can help to improve flexibility and range of motion and significantly reduce pain, especially among people who are recovering from an injury.

 

Hot Stone Massage

Usually combined with Swedish massage, hot stone massage therapy aims to improve blood flow and reduce muscle tension through the strategic placement of smooth, hot stones on certain parts of the body. Your massage therapist may also use massage oil to allow for smoother strokes and a more soothing experience.

 

Hot stone massage has many of the same benefits as other kinds of massage therapy, from reducing inflammation and relieving anxiety to boosting energy levels and mood. One 2019 study found that hot stone massage significantly improved sleep quality among people undergoing kidney dialysis.

 

Sports Massage

Sports massage is popular among athletes and people who exercise frequently. It is specifically designed to prevent and treat sports injuries. The techniques used can vary what muscles are most affected by the sport and where you’ve experienced an injury.

 

Sports massage can help with various aspects of athletic performance and muscle recovery. According to a meta-analysis, sports massage effectively improves flexibility and reduces delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) among elite and amateur athletes alike.

 

Shiatsu

Shiatsu is a Japanese massage technique based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine. There are various forms of shiatsu, but they all involve acupressure (applying pressure to specific acupuncture points on the body). 

 

This technique has been found to improve quality of life and wellness in many respects, such as enhancing sleep quality and reducing tension.10 A recent study even noted that shiatsu helped children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders and/or behavioral disorders in a number of ways—from reducing aggressive behavior to relieving trauma symptoms and improving focus.

 

Thai Massage

Thai massage is a popular form of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) that combines the principles of acupressure and yoga. During a Thai massage, you’ll be placed into various passive yoga poses with the help of a trained practitioner, who will stretch your muscles and target trigger points.

 

Thai massage is more “active” than other kinds of massage. You may prefer it if you’d like to stay clothed (in light, loose, comfy clothing) during your massage session.

 

This kind of massage has been found to:

 
  • Reduce stress
  • Provide pain relief for people with chronic lower back pain
  • Strengthen the body’s immune response
 

Pregnancy (Prenatal) Massage

Massage therapy is popular during pregnancy, when many people deal with increased levels of stress, pain, and insomnia. 

 

Researchers have found that prenatal massage can improve many aspects of overall well-being during pregnancy. Benefits include:

 
  • Higher levels of serotonin and dopamine, which are known as “feel-good” hormones
  • Reduced stress
  • Pain relief, especially for leg and back pain
  • Fewer depression and anxiety symptoms
  • Stronger immune function
  • Lower risk of premature labor
  • High fetal birth weight
 

Meanwhile, massage can also be beneficial in the postpartum period and even during labor. Some women report that massage helped them manage the pain of childbirth.16

 

However, most experts recommend waiting until after the first trimester to get a prenatal massage as they can be potentially lead to pregnancy loss. Talk to your healthcare provider if you have concerns about getting a prenatal massage.

 

Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral therapy, also known as sacral massage or cranial osteopathy, is a form of bodywork that uses gentle touch to decrease compression in the spine, skull, and pelvis. This is a somewhat controversial therapy, with many researchers disagreeing about the clinical validity of the practice. 

 

However, there is some evidence that craniosacral therapy may decrease pain and improve quality of life for people with certain conditions, such as:

 
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Migraine
  • Neck, back, or pelvic pain
  • Epicondylitis (“tennis elbow”)
  • Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), which is characterized by a buildup by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain cavity
 

Reflexology

First developed by ancient healers in Egypt, China, and India, reflexology—also called regional therapy or zone therapy—refers to the practice of applying pressure to certain points on the feet (and, sometimes, the hands). Each point, or “zone,” is believed to correspond to a particular area of the body. 

 

According to clinical studies, reflexology may be helpful in:

 
  • Relieving joint and muscle pain
  • Treating insomnia
  • Reducing limb swelling during pregnancy
  • Boosting energy levels
  • Improving respiratory function
  • Treating certain cancer-related symptoms, such as shortness of breath
  • Reducing the tingling, burning, and/or prickling pain associated with multiple sclerosis (MS)
 

Lymphatic Drainage

Lymphatic drainage massage, also known as manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), involves using rhythmic, light touch—including tapping and circular strokes—to promote the flow of lymph (extra fluid) throughout the body and improve immune function. In addition to relieving pain and reducing stress, lymphatic drainage massage can:

 
  • Treat and prevent lymphedema
  • Promote wound healing 
  • Improve oxygen saturation
  • Lower blood pressure
  • Decrease heart rate
  • Increase range of motion
 

Aromatherapy

Some massage therapists incorporate essential oils—such as lavender, peppermint, lemon, ginger, and tea tree oil—into a massage session to promote relaxation and healing. This practice is known as aromatherapy.

 

There’s a growing body of evidence to suggest that aromatherapy massage may have clinical benefits as a complementary therapy. However, research is limited and more studies are needed.

 

Chakra Balancing Massage

Some people believe that deep tissue massage can be combined with the practice of Reiki—a Japanese energy medicine (EM) technique in which the practitioner uses light touch or holds their hands just over the recipient’s body to manipulate energy—to balance the chakras. 

 

According to the traditions of Ayurvedic medicine, the chakras are the body’s primary centers of energy. Each chakra corresponds to a particular area of the body. The seven chakras are:

 
  • Crown
  • Third eye
  • Throat
  • Heart
  • Solar plexus
  • Sacral 
  • Root

Health Care at Home

Written by Island Home Care

Health Care at Home in Tenerife: Your “Golden” Years

There are several options to consider but sadly most are quite difficult for Ex-Pats, especially if you don’t speak Spanish. There are very few options for English speaking care but HCP Home Care Adeje is a one place to start. There are other options but you need to face head on what your circumstances COULD be and think hard before that time comes about what you want out of life, including possibly going back to the UK or your home country.

Social System

If you need care at home, you will be entitled if you have paid into the system long enough but you will be lucky if they are fluent in English and it frankly won’t be enough.

Retirement Home

If you have paid into the system in Tenerife long enough, you have live in options but VERY few English speaking. If you are considering this option, check your entitlement careful and visit one or two to see how you feel about it.

Nursing Home Care

If you are not yet in need of a live-in retirement home, you may be able to manage by “throwing money at it” as the saying goes. You will need the services of a qualified nurse, a cleaner, interpreter, “companion” if you need a wheelchair and want to get out for a coffee, drink or meal now and again and don’t forget someone to prepare meals, wash up, change and wash bed-clothea and so on.

Island Home Care

Island Home Care began in the North of Tenerife and soon realised there was a great demand in the South. Their register of services should cover most or all of your needs. They do NOT provide nursing services but specialise in bringing people together – those with various needs like cleaning, bed changes, meals, hospital trips, social outings, companions – and people who can meet those needs.

Live in Carer with 2 Bedrooms

If you own your own property you could consider offering a permanent position with accommodation to someone who can meet your needs. There are 2 very different options. If you need 24 hour care you will need to include 2 additional people, ie you will need a total of 3 people to cover 3 x  8 hour shifts as you cannot expect 1 person to cover 24/7. At that point you should be considering a nursing home perhaps.

However if your needs are basic, shopping, cleaning, cooking, trips out, washing pots, laundry, you do not necessarily need qualified professionals – more someone you get on with – then it can work very well.
There are many variations on this theme. You can put someone on contract, provides holiday pay, health beneits, sic pay etc., in which case you will need to arrange cover and COULD possibly find yourself in a difficult position financially if they are ill.
Alternatively you can invite someone into you home based on hours work to the value of the accommodation provided then agree what you may need extra and pay them a monthly or weekly amount on a self employed basis. This often works well with local people who have friends and relatives nearby whereby with flexible hours they can maintain a social life and also have contacts who can cover in times os sickness or holidays.

Live in Carer with 3+ Bedrooms

As with the 2 bed option but this actually offers opportunities for your carer to expande their hours, look after a second person, put additional support in place. It also makes for more of a social atmosphere where you can support each other.

Finding Relaxation in The Chaos

We live in a world of burnout, leaving people feeling drained, depressed, stressed out, etc. Every day, life brings us many challenges. These challenges may cause stress, leaving our thoughts and emotions in a cloud, creating depression, and other mental health issues.

Physical health issues could be rooted in the stress of environmental factors. These physical and environmental issues can create some distortions causing a person to have judgmental impairment of basic life decisions. When there is impairment, it plays a domino effect making that person’s thought processes chaotic, hence bringing chaos in their life.

Reiki healing is a Japanese energy healing technique in which a trained practitioner helps guide energy through a person’s body to promote balance, relaxation, and well-being.

During a typical session, the Reiki Practitioner has the client relax in a sitting or lying position.  You take a few deep breaths as the room is filled with aromatherapy and soothing music.

The practitioner will scan their hands over the client feeling for energetic disruptions in their field. When there is a disruption, the practitioner will then meditate and breathe as the “clouded” energy dissipates leaving the client feeling relaxed and stress free. This can last for as long as the client needs.

Reiki sessions may last anywhere between 45-120 minutes.

What is Reiki?

Literally, Reiki means “universal life energy.” It’s an ancient healing method that manipulates energy flow within the body. Reiki practitioners believe there is an energy force in and around the body. They believe that there is a flow of energy between the reiki practitioner and the receiver of the treatment.

In Reiki treatments, practitioners will place their hands over various parts of the body and transfer healing energy. During a session, practitioners may focus their energy on the sources of specific conditions. Most people remove their shoes. You remain fully clothed during the treatment.

Tenerife Health Insurance

Choosing the best health insurance for expats can be difficult. There are many insurance options to choose from and not all plans may suit your lifestyle, especially for those who have left it a little late in life.

Health insurance might be low priority when you move to Tenerife but there is a massive risk of getting ill abroad and it pays to be prepared. 

After taking the huge step of relocating to a new country, it’s important to ensure all aspects of your new life are secure, particularly when it comes to organising your expat health insurance. Ensuring that you and your family can access healthcare abroad is one of the first things you should organise – because no one can predict when an emergency or health issue might arise.

Find out what customer support is available – very important for your health insurance plan. Some insurers offer 24/7 support for their customers and also offer support in multiple languages. Be sure to do some research before you buy so you are aware of what to expect as you never know when a medical emergency may happen.

Above all, seek professional guidance from a reputable insurance broker who actually cares about their clients and can offer you a full service. AND please don’t forget about life insurance.No one wants to think about a partner passing but it’s very much worse with financial problems if you are left alone in Tenerife.

Health Care Abroad

Health Care in Tenerife

One of the most difficult decisions that many face having moved to Tenerife, is when your partner needs medical or day to day care.  If the decision to seek  professional help is also in your own best interest, then the guilt can be overwhelming.

Facing age related issues or a progressive illness like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s, your partner still has to deal with their declining health whether you continue functioning as their sole caregiver or choose to bring in outside help.

What many fail to accept is that this is a decision that is really hard to make on your own. Finances are also an issue that is going to weigh heavily. Often, well before you accept the need to make a decision, you will be faced with concerns about how it will all work financially if one of you goes into residential care. This can be very unsettling but it isn’t an uncommon situation.

There are options other than a full time nursing facility and if you plan in advance you should consider insurance of some kind that can help with finances. In addition, take advice on the benefits of paying into the local health care system before the need arises.

Above all, don’t try and face it alone.
