Marma Therapy and Marma Massage

Marmas are special Ayurvedic energy points on the body, similar to acupuncture points. Through manipulating them we can direct our Prana or vital energy for health., well-being and personal transformation. Marmas are connected to the chakras and nadis of Yoga and can be used for balancing both body and mind.

Marma therapy is one of the great tools of Yogic and Ayurvedic healing. The use of pressure points for massage and acupuncture has become a popular topic in natural healing today. In Ayurveda, the traditional medicine of India, these pressure points are called Marmas, meaning ‘vulnerable’ or ‘sensitive’ zones. Such points can be used specifically for the diagnosis and treatment of disease or generally for promoting health and longevity. Marmas are integral to all Ayurvedic Therapies from simple self-treatments to complex clinical procedures.

Marma Therapy is used to treat a variety of disorders ranging from paralysis to psychosomatic disorders. The uses of Marma Therapy are almost unlimited for health care and form a corner stone for classical Ayurvedic medicine. Although there are primarily 107 marma points in reality it is flexible and adapted to the individual, as are all Ayurvedic therapies. There are also a number of minor marma points that are not classified under the primary 107 points.

Maintenance Sports Massage

Maintenance Sports massage targets areas of the body that are strained from repetitive and strenuous movements. People who underwent sports massage achieve immediate pain relief and enhanced mobility following several sessions. Applying this type of massage after every sports event or game also helps reduce soreness in the muscles. Sports injury patients may find that the recovery time is improved when their rehabilitation programs also include sports massage sessions. Following the massage, one will feel relaxed and rejuvenated. Sports massage is a relief for those with a strong muscle structure such as bodybuilders, who have difficulty moving physically due to muscle stiffness. It is used to help prevent injuries, to prepare the body for athletic activity and maintain it in optimal condition, and to help athletes recover from workouts and injuries. Sports massage increases the flow of blood and nutrients to the muscles. It also keeps the tissues loose so that different layers of muscle slide easily over each other. Sports massage also helps reduce the development of scar tissue while increasing flexibility and range of motion.

However, it is important to note that not all people who suffer from sports-related injuries and pain can take advantage of this massage. Contraindications for sports massage include the presence of open wounds, blood clot, ruptured muscle or tendon, burns, and broken bones.
