The sensual massage goes beyond the physical touch and incorporates a number of elements in order for the receiver to fully relax and enjoy it. Since this form of massaging requires the receiver to fully surrender to his feelings and loosen up, setting up the proper surroundings is extremely important. More often than not, the receiver and the giver will be nude during the massage, therefore securing their privacy is crucial. If the massage is performed at home, then this is obviously not that difficult, but when performed at a studio, the room should be isolated from other areas and if possible soundproof as well in order to provide the necessary intimate atmosphere. Dim light and candles are also very appropriate since the bright and intense light could prevent the receiver from relaxing. Using aromatic and natural oils is usually necessary as their fresh fragrance stimulates the senses and helps build a sensual connection.
The sensual massages are also characterized by gentler and softer touch rather than pressing hard on the muscles in order to relieve pain or tension. Even though proper training is always desired, partners can learn how to perform sensual massage on each other as well. During the sessions, all body parts can be touched and the sensual massage differs from the traditional one since the erogenous zones are massaged as well. These include the breasts and the pubis for women and the genital area for men, but other body parts can also be touched and caressed. Even though an orgasm is a likely outcome and response, it is not the main purpose of the sessions - their power lies in the fact that a session can unlock suppressed emotions, and release blocked feelings and energy.
When it comes to the techniques used, they can range from the more common and known circle and fan strokes to stretching strokes, but as a rule, all of them are softer and gentler than when performing a traditional massage. Certain massage studios offer a four-hand sensual massage, which is performed by two givers and according to many is the ultimate experience as it confuses the senses to an extent that cannot be achieved by a two-hand massage. The sensual massage's benefits are well known and at times used for treating various sexual conditions since the massage can help men, women, and couples overcome certain issues and ultimately lead better and more fulfilling sex life.
Having a massage can provide great benefit for most people, most of the time. However there 토닥이 프로필 are occasions for which massage is just not appropriate. When this occurs then massage is referred to as contraindicated which means that a person may have symptoms, a condition or disease where a massage on the whole body (or a certain part of the body) is just not the right thing to do.
Sometimes these contraindications can be so absolute that a massage is not appropriate at all. There may even be other conditions that the massage therapist should know about the negative side effects that the massage could cause but are contraindicated massage techniques even though modified massage applications can have very positive effects.
When a client partakes in his or her first interview, the therapist will ask pointed and specific questions about the client's health to deduce whether or not they have any contraindications. If that particular client is under strict care from a physician then the therapist should consult with the doctor before undergoing any massage treatment for the client.
Some of these major contraindications would be:
An Abnormal body temperature: if the presenting client has a fever greater than 37.5 deg C, the massage should not be given. Mostly, fevers mean that a person body is trying to locate and dispose of an invading organism. The human body will activate its defensive measures so it can isolate and take of the ailment. A massage may halt or hinder this process.
Infectious and acute disease: Clientele that have contracted any infectious diseases like typhoid, influenza, or any other sort of severe cold should not be administered massage treatment. A client who receives a massage while they have an acute viral infection may have their illness intensified, whilst there is also a risk that the therapist may contract the virus.
Inflammation: This type of situation is very common. If an individual has some acute inflammation, a massage will only add to the irritation and further the spread of the inflammation. If you have sustained an injury in the past twenty-four hours like an ankle sprain or hurt something in your back, then you should submit yourself to the first aid principle of RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation).
It is also advisable at this point to make a call to your doctor. Receiving a massage to an inflamed area will only cause you more harm.

Even though massaging directly on that are will be contraindicated, it may be very beneficial to a person to massage not on the area but around that area so that you can relax the muscles and prompting the body to naturally heal itself. After a person has had the inflammation subside after 72-96 hours, having a massage can dramatically help a person's mobility of joints as well as helping reduce scar tissue forming.
Varicose veins: When the valves of your veins have a break down it is due to back pressure causing the veins to stick out and bulge.

Massaging legs which have large bulging varicose veins has the risk of releasing blood clots in the body's circulatory system and massaging these areas is contraindicated.
Osteoporosis: This condition in its later stages can cause bones to become extremely brittle which can easily be broken or cracked. Before you start massaging a person afflicted with this condition it is advisable that the client speak with their doctor on this matter to see if this would worsen their condition or not.
High Blood Pressure: If you happen to have a client who has or has had high blood pressure, then that person's physician should be consulted before undergoing massage therapy. Massage therapy can actually help reduce some of the hypertension that usually accompanies high blood pressure. You will usually not have to worry about massaging a person with a low blood pressure but you will want to be careful since this can cause some clients to feel dizzy after the therapy because of a drop in their blood pressure
