Bodywork promotes healthy detoxification, relaxes and refreshes the muscles, improves lymphatic drainage, improves circulation, promotes relaxation, calms the nervous system, and reduces tension and anxiety.
Bodywork and massage are both therapeutic practices aimed at improving physical health, but they differ in approach and techniques. Massage typically involves the manipulation of soft tissues through techniques like kneading, stroking, and applying pressure to relax muscles, relieve tension, and improve circulation. Bodywork, on the other hand, encompasses a broader range of treatments that focus on the whole body, including techniques such as myofascial release, craniosacral therapy, and structural integration. While massage is often more focused on relaxation, bodywork can address specific physical imbalances or postural issues. Bodywork may also incorporate elements of energy work, breathing exercises, and mindfulness.
