Mobile Massage im Office ganz schnell und einfach durchzuführend und durch verschiedene Hilfsmittel wird die mobile Massage völlig einfach, so dass man die Arbeit nicht einmal mehr unterbrechen muss. Sicherlich ist eines der Hauptprobleme, dass die meisten Menschen gar nicht wissen, was sie ihrem Rücken antun und wie sie dem entgegenwirken können, denn andernfalls würden wahrscheinlich schon alle Menschen von der

Mobile Massage am Arbeitsplatz, deren Erfolge für sich sprechen, Gebrauch machen. Schon kleine Einheiten zwischen der Arbeit zeigen einen Erfolg und man hat am Abend wesentlich weniger unter Schmerzen zu leiden. Welche Variante der Massage am Arbeitsplatz man wählt bleibt jedem selbst überlassen, denn es ist sowohl möglich, mit Hilfsmitteln zu arbeiten, als auch sich selbst zu massieren. Die Hilfsmittel sind recht einfache und kosten kaum etwas. Ein normaler Igelball, den fast jeder zuhause hat, kann schon ausreichend wirken, wenn man ihn über Schultern, Arme und die Lenden rollen lässt, tut man dies mehrmals am Tag wird man am Abend feststellen können, wie gut es wirkt. Eine andere Möglichkeit wären Fußmassageroller, auf die man die Füße aufstellt und vor und zurück rollt. Diese Roller sorgen nicht nur für ein bisschen Bewegung am Schreibtisch, sie haben auch den Effekt, dass die Reflexzonen stimuliert werden, was wiederum der Entspannung sehr zu Gute kommt. Die letzte und sicherlich auch einfachste Möglichkeit sind Massagegurte, die man unter der Kleidung tragen kann. Sie werden mit Batterien betrieben und massieren dann unablässig, auch während man arbeitet, so muss man die Arbeit noch nicht einmal unterbrechen.

Portable massage tables are the very important tools. Massage therapy is a hands-on management of the soft tissue and joints of the body and using a portable massage table can make giving and receiving a massage that a lot easier.

A portable massage table has pairs of legs at each end, and two pairs of recessed centre legs. This system offers the advantage of carrying safe working loads of up to 300kg without any visible degree of table flex or torque so that the masseur’s effort goes into his client and is not wasted by bending the table. Fibre and aluminium are increasingly used in the making of portable massage tables since these materials offer essential benefits of tenacity, durability and low weight.

Exotic aluminium portable massage tables are designed to be squeak-free and come in custom sizes, adjustable height and backrest; replete with face cradle, tapered, high-resilient, foam-cushioned, sewn edges with shoulder recesses to prevent restriction of blood flow to the arms when they hang over the sides of the table. What’s more, this ingenious piece of design folds just as quickly and easily into a compact carrying case!

A massage suggests many various physiological effects. They are mainly due to the therapist's hands affecting the body in a way that influences all its systems – and mainly, the muscular by lessening muscle tension and sense of stress; the circulatory by reducing heart rate and blood pressure.

Massage affects the lymphatic by improving the blood flow and lymph fluids in the body. Most important, massage therapy helps to meet the human need for the caring and affirmative touch. No wonder, lots of people find massage therapy so supportive in so many ways! Even the great Hippocrates who learnt this art from Herodicus way back in the 4th Century B.C., had advised thus in so many words when he said - "The physician must be acquainted with many things and assuredly with rubbing" (the ancient Greek and Roman term for massage).

Of the different kinds of massage therapies available, the most sought after are the Swedish massage, Vibrational Healing Massage Therapy, Shiatsu, Reflexology, Cranial Sacral Balancing, Chi Nei Tsang, and the increasingly popular Kerala Ayurvedic massage therapy.

Ancient Massage was essentially a floor massage. However today, as in all other spheres, technology has taken the driver’s seat to produce massage tables which are not only classy and comfortable for the client, but also provides access convenience and resilience for the masseur.

Massage therapy is one of the oldest and simplest therapeutic forms. It involves stroking, pressing, and kneading different areas of the body to relieve pain.

Massage Therapy: Benefits
A good massage not only stimulates and relaxes the body but also tones it by acting on the soft tissues (muscles, tendons, and ligaments). Massage largely affects muscles that are just beneath the skin. However, if done regularly under proper conditions and in the right manner, its benefits extend to the deeper layers of muscles and even the organs. Thus, it strengthens the entire body and reduces its vulnerability to strains and injuries that occur because of excessive tension and structural weakness of the body.

Massage therapy also stimulates blood circulation and improves the lymphatic system (runs parallel to the circulatory system); lymphatic system is responsible for eliminating the waste material from the body. Massage therapy also calms the nervous system, reduces fatigue, and replenishes energy of an individual.

Massage Therapy: How to Do?
To begin with, choose the right equipment for effective massage therapy. You will need a firm and padded surface such as a massage table or simply a foam mattress spread on the floor to work on. You may use additional cushions and pads to support the body on the massage surface. You can choose from oils such as mineral, soya, peach and apricot kernel, grape seed, sunflower, almond, olive, and peanut, depending on which suits your body best. Additionally, keep blankets and towels handy to cover the portions of the body that are not being worked upon.

To benefit optimally from massage therapy it is important to set the right environment for massage. One must use soft lighting and music to create soothing effect during the therapy. Warm the room where you intend to massage and select a time when there are least chances of an interruption. Get your client or partner wear loose clothes, ensure that his/ her body is bare (without any jewelry or other accessories) and eyes shut, and tie the hair if it is long. Massage with clean hands and nails cut short; do not massage with wrist watch, bracelet, or fingerings on your hand. Continue to massage in upward movement for one to one-and-a quarter hour.

At its best, massage has the potential to restore an individual physically, mentally, and spiritually.
