Massage - Definition
A massage consists of soft, localized movements of tissue with results that are basically intended to provide relaxation and wellbeing. 

Massage - Techniques
In order to achieve success with this therapy, it is important to create an environment where everything that hinders it, such as clothing, telephone calls, etc., has been eliminated. 

A simple room at a comfortable temperature where distractions can be avoided is also recommended. The body and the mind relax with a few minutes of breathing exercises. If one prefers, soft background music can be used to foster relaxation. 

Massage – Essential Products
In the majority of massages, oils are used because they facilitate rubbing and also permit the skin to receive the benefits provided by the product used. 

Massage - Types
There are different types of massages with very specific purposes, such as: 

· Therapeutic massages 
· Relaxing massages 
· Hawaiian massage 
· Shiatsu
· Massage - Benefits

In general, massages provide innumerable benefits, such as eliminating stress resulting from work overload or other sources; relaxing the body and stimulating blood flow; eliminating toxins accumulated in the skin, thereby reducing cellulite; etc.

Massage Centers
It is important that this therapy be provided at specialized centers where the correct massage techniques and type of massage required are used according to the purpose, since a massage performed without knowledge on the subject could cause muscle damage.
