Swedish massage is' the systematic and scientific manipulation of the soft tissues of the body for the purpose of establishing or maintaining a good health. Massage is used to bring a client to a deeper level of relaxation, to rehabilitate, to prevent an injury or to slow the progression of a illness. Massage manipulations introduce mechanical forces into the soft tissues, stimulating various physiologic response. Not all tissue is affected the same way by each type of force. The compression, tension, bending, shear and torsion are mechanical forces that have therefore their own way in which they produce specific therapeutic benefits.

Body psychotherapy is a form of therapy rooted in the premise that every aspect of a person’s knowledge, understanding and perception is fundamentally embedded within his or her lived somatic experience. This form of psychotherapy seeks to affirm and to deepen the connection between the body and the mind, and between different parts of the body, in order to increase awareness and trust in one’s own internal self-agency, and to create a broader movement vocabulary and repertoire, which ultimately allows for more freedom and choice. As Christine Caldwell describes it, “Body-centered psychotherapy is a kind of clinical work that puts the body into action as a means of accessing repressed and fragmented parts of the self. It operates on the premise that sensation, breath, and movement are the body’s form of speech, and that if we listen to this speech we can complete and release stored trauma, relearn how to feel excitement and pleasure, and engage in activities that nourish.”
