What is Zen Body Therapy?

As we age, our physical constitution gradually acquires more and more conditions that are causing various negative changes on our health. These are commonly restrictions and difficulties in our movement and flexibility, however we are also more prone to painful conditions. There are many types of massage therapies though that are designed to treat such health problems without compromising the delicate state of older clients.

Zen Body Therapy is a healing modality created with both principles and practices of the East and West. The therapy is a combination of movement rehabilitation, rehabilitation of the soft body, proper body structure, and energy work. The therapy is beneficial to the body, mind, and spirit of the client as it is not limited to relieving the physical constitution from agony, instead it creates harmony on the three to provide complete healing and recovery.

Aside from the principles of the therapy, the main goal of a massage therapist is to relieve the body and mind from various health problems. This is done with the use of the deep tissue massage techniques that usually lasts for an hour in a ten series of treatment. Each session has its specific objective which increases as the client accomplishes them one by one. A client can expect a variety of level in the intensity and techniques used with each group or single therapy session taken. The massage therapist will eliminate any irregularities or abnormalities such as adhesions, toxin buildups and tension on the soft tissues of the client’s body at the first three sessions of Zen Body Therapy. During these first series of treatment, the patient will feel temporary soreness on the treated areas as the body adjusts to the new condition of the muscle tissues. The body of the patient is given enough time to rest from the soreness for five to seven days depending on the progress of his or her physical constitution. At the time the patient is ready for the other sessions, he or she must go to the massage spa for the therapist to evaluate the rehabilitation results of the therapy program. The remaining treatments are focused on individual parts of the body in order to specifically address the health issues.

Each therapy appointment is accomplished by the therapist with the use of his or her hands, fingers, knuckles, and elbows as massage tools for each specific areas of the human body. Each part of the body is used on the corresponding area as some are meant for detailed work while the others such as the elbows are used to work on larger portions. The therapy should be done though by a highly trained masseuse as it requires precise use of the techniques.

If you have a desire to try this type of therapeutic massage, I would strongly suggest to you to see your doctor first and ask for opinions regarding the Zen Body Therapy program. If the answer is positive or the consultation goes out well, the next move on your part will be to look for a good massage spa and therapist.
