The Benefits of Shaking Techniques in Massage

1 min

The other day a client asked me half way through the massage: ‘Why do you keep shaking these different areas of the body. It feels good but… I don’t understand why?’‘

So let’s dive into it.

Shaking is an innovative technique used in massage therapy that offers numerous benefits for both the body and mind.

This method involves gentle, rhythmic movements that create a sense of release and relaxation.

At our With Ease massage therapies we use shaking all the time.

One of the primary reasons for incorporating shaking into massage is its ability to promote deep relaxation and reduce tension in the muscles. By stimulating the body's natural reflexes, shaking can help release built-up stress and emotional blockages.

Additionally, shaking encourages improved circulation, as the movements stimulate blood flow and lymphatic drainage.

This can enhance the body's ability to heal and rejuvenate itself. The technique also activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting a state of calmness and reducing anxiety.

Moreover, shaking can enhance body awareness, helping individuals reconnect with their physical selves.

This can be particularly beneficial for those who have experienced trauma or are dealing with chronic stress.

Overall, shaking is a versatile and effective technique that complements traditional massage methods, providing a holistic approach to well-being.
