About Massage...
The field of massage therapy has an inherent set of principles that it's practitioners abide by. Many of these are a part of why people choose to become and stay in massage therapy as their chosen career and calling.
1.) Primum No Nocere (First Do No Harm) This is the mother rule of health professions. Help where you can, but first do not harm to the patient. By knowing your current health conditions, medications, and situations, a massage therapist can professionally assess whether or not massage therapy would be an appropriate and helpful treatment for you.
2.) Vis Medicatrix Naturae (The Healing Power of Nature) So many times we make our personal state of health and well being much more complicated than it really is. We tend to overlook the simple things. We ignore the signs and signals that our body has been trying to give us and then wonder, "why don't I feel well?" Nature has a way of bringing balance into our lives. It WILL balance things out to make them run smoothly again. It has to in order to protect itself.
