There is a lot of information on the web about what massage exactly is. This fact comes right to the core components of the MassageATX mission. We’re here to help you sort out what is and isn’t a massage and help to help match your physical needs with the appropriate massage. Below is a basic definition of the noun massage, as well as the specific forms offered here at MassageATX.

Massage is the practice of soft tissue manipulation with physical, functional, and in some cases psychological purposes and goals. The word comes from the French massage "friction of kneading," or from Arabic massa meaning "to touch, feel or handle" or from Latin massa meaning "mass, dough". (In distinction the ancient Greek word for massage was anatripsis, and the Latin was frictio).

Massage involves acting on and manipulating the client's body with pressure (structured, unstructured, stationary, and/or moving), tension, motion, or vibration done manually or with mechanical aids. Target tissues may include muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, joints, or other connective tissue, as well as lymphatic vessels, and/or organs of the gastrointestinal system. Massage can be applied with the hands, fingers, elbows, forearm, and feet. There are over eighty different massage modalities. The most cited reasons for introducing massage have been client demand and perceived clinical effectiveness.

In professional settings massage involves the client being treated while lying on a massage table, sitting in a massage chair, on a bed, or lying on a mat on the floor. The massage subject may be fully or partly unclothed.

Body Electric - A first step in your exploration into your erotic potential. Body Electric involves the mind, the body and the heart in a series of exercises that use breathing, stretching and touching. B.E. uses the central nervous system as a guide to triggering electrical responses throughout the body. By increasing the sensitivity in the body B.E. allows the client to develop a greater sense of self. Through fluid manipulation the body’s natural energy can be harnessed and used for a variety of purposes. Typical B.E. sessions last anywhere from 45 min to 90 min.

Russian Massage - Russian Massage has three phases. The first phase is gentle, slow and mild. The second phase is hard, deep and fast. The third phase is similar to the first phase which is slow and gentle.

Swedish Massage - Swedish massage uses five styles of long, flowing strokes to massage. The five basic strokes are effleurage (light touch), petrissage (kneading), tapotement (rhythmic tapping), friction (compression), and vibration. Swedish massage has shown to be helpful in reducing pain, joint stiffness, and improving function in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee over a period of eight weeks. The development of Swedish massage is credited to Per Henrik Ling though the Dutch practitioner Johan Georg Mezger adopted the French names to denote the basic strokes. A Swedish massage is not related to the country of Sweden, where massages are quite uncommon.

Traditional Chinese Massage - Two types of traditional Chinese massage exist - Tui na which focusses on pushing, stretching and kneading the muscle and Zhi Ya which focuses on pinching and pressing at acupressure points. Both are based on principles from Traditional Chinese Medicine.
