			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://stillpointmassage.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/getting-pregnant.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-110" title="Enamoured couple finding out results of a pregnancy test" src="http://stillpointmassage.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/getting-pregnant.jpg" alt="" width="284" height="281" /></a></p>
<p>Many infertile couples have overcome the situation to conceive with the help of fertility massage. There are some kinds of fertility massages, but the overall idea is to eliminate stress and activate the reproductive organs. Couples that are interested should get more information about every time to decide which type is appropriate for them.</p>
<p><span id="more-109"></span></p>
<p>Stress can be the most important blockage of fertility and discovering the time to relax can take you in a right path of conceiving. The drive and desire to conceive is so stressful in some cases that it actually blocks the ability of a couple to get pregnant. Just relaxing can improve your chances of getting fertile, but other relaxation methods like fertility massage may also help you a lot.</p>
<p>Fertility massage can be used in combination with other treatments like vitro fertilization. Many couples plan fertility massages taking up to in vitro fertilization or may plan massages at the time of trying to get pregnant. These massages help in lowering attachment that may block paths and block fertility in other way. They are also made to increase blood circulation to the reproductive organs.</p>
<p>The method should be applied properly to be effective. It should not be done during a menstrual period of a woman and should only be applied before getting pregnancy. Some people have complained about soreness after massage, whereas others have complained of heavier periods after first couple of treatments. Swelling and bruising should not be there after massages. Talk to your therapist or doctor for more details about potential side effects of fertility massage.</p>
<p>No doubt, many couples go for fertility massage to improve their fertility when they try to get pregnant and before pregnancy since it is non-invasive. If applied properly, there will be no major medical side effects. Because of this reason, couples who are interested in a fertility massage are inspired to see a trained therapist.</p>
<p>The best time to get a fertility massage is after menstrual period until the beginning of ovulation. Those who are not sure whether they are pregnant are recommended to speak with the doctor or massage therapist before getting the massage. In such cases, it may be safe to avoid any kind of therapy until the pregnancy is confirmed.</p>

<p>Massage has been developed into different ways over all these years, it is one of the ancient medical practices. Chinese used to apply pressure in specific parts of the body to create the effects of healing. In Stone Age people usually massaged parts of their body that had sore or pain. There are various advantages of massage but all the massages are not the same. Massage is used to cure stress and pain in different countries and cultures, so every country and culture has developed their own kind of massage.</p>
<p><span id="more-78"></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In 200 AD, Chinese developed one of the ancient well-known massage forms. Vital points in the body are used in this type of massage to cure particular areas of the body. These massages always focus on particular areas of the body like hands and feet. Theoretically, the feet has lot of pressure points, when you focus on one you hear other parts of the body like heart, liver and some other parts as well.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Another variation of this massage is when they make use of hand, they are similar to feet massage because they target specific parts of the body to give an effect of healing. Shiatsu massage is another type of oriental massage. This type of massage has been there for many centuries even before the introduction of Chinese massage therapy but at first it was referred as Shiatsu in the book Shiatsu Rhoyo by Tenpaku Tamai in 1915.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The focus of Shiatsu massage is in applied pressure through the fingers. Theoretically, the therapist makes use of his or her fingers, palms and thumbs to provide recovery. The hands of the therapist are also used to assist in identifying imbalances in the energy of the subject which appears in the form of soreness, drowsiness and other symptoms. Many universities have reviewed the effectiveness of this type of massage and it was found that it helps in removing the stress and pain in muscle. An independent study in 2007 showed that there were long term advantages for reduction in joint and muscle pain and stress reduction.</p>

Body massage types exist in a number of varieties, amongst which those which provide innumerable health benefits are the most popular.<br />
<span id="more-23"></span><br />
Acupressure – This is a famous massage and it has originated in China; it is closely related to acupuncture. It includes pressing of acupuncture meridian points with elbow, fingers or some other means, rather than puncturing them and so is quite easier.</p>
<p>Deep Tissue Massage – This massage mainly includes treating of the layer of muscles below the top muscles. It is perfectly good for the patients of continuous aches or some long-term bodily injury or those who have to perform heavy exercises, like athletes. Sometimes, the original pain is replaced by a new pain for a day or two. However keep well in mind that deep pressure massage is something which is not at all similar to deep tissue massage. </p>
<p>Deep Pressure Massage – This massage is given to full body and a strong pressure is used in it. It is not advisable for any particular problem. It mainly aims at soothing of whole body.</p>
<p>Barefoot Deep Tissue Massage – This is a blend of oriental and western massages. You don’t have to undress or get applied any oil. This type mainly uses foot or foot-part to impart pressure, slightly less than thumb, elbow etc. A large muscle like thigh muscle gets very much relief from this type of massage. Renowned Olympics champion of America, Dara Torres, found this massage of great help while she was in training. </p>
<p>Ayurvedic Massage – This massage has arisen from India and is connected to Ayurvedic system of doshas, meaning humors. People from across the world approach the therapists of this genuinely rejuvenating massage in Goa or Kerala in India.</p>
<p>Stone Massage – In this massage, heated stones are used to apply pressure and for heating up the body. Sometime oiled stones are also used. The stones used are collected from rivers which have become perfectly smooth naturally. The benefit of the stones are to take out the tension from the patient’s body by rendering it the heat, when kept on the back. </p>
<p>Swedish Massage – This famous massage is also known as Classic Massage in the non-English-speaking regions.  Five different kinds of strokes, viz. effleurage (sliding), petrissage (Kneading), tapotement (tapping), friction and vibration or shaking are used in it. This massage reduces pain and joint stiffness and improves functions of osteoarthritic patients, in eight weeks. It also improves circulation. </p>
<p>Traditional Chinese Massage – There are mainly two aspects involved in this, one is Tui Na, which means kneading, stretching and pushing of the muscles and second is Zhi Ya, meaning pressing and pinching of the acupuncture points. Both Tui Na and Zhi Ya, are connected to Traditional Chinese Medicine. Really speaking, Tui Na does not come under the category of massage, but it comes in the category of physiotherapy, which is utilized for treating musculoskeletal conditions, some diseases and also headaches. </p>
<p>Aromatherapy Massage – This uses one or more aromatic plant oils, such as sandalwood oil, according to the patient’s needs. These oils are greatly useful in soothing, pacifying and energizing. </p>
<p>Shiatsu – This massage has originated in Japan; it applies the method of pressurizing and releasing the acupuncture points in a rhythmic fashion, which soothes and energizes the body . </p>
<p>Pregnancy Massage – This massage is gaining wide popularity among the carrying ladies. It reduces swelling, relieves pain and decreases stress and depression. </p>
<p>Foot Massage – This is also termed as Reflexology and is especially helpful in relieving the pain of foot of those who have to stand for the entire day. </p>
<p>Body massage types are quite varying, including those which relax some chosen body parts. You just have to identify which type will help you and it will help you for sure. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://stillpointmassage.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/couples-massage.jpg"><img src="http://stillpointmassage.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/couples-massage-300x225.jpg" alt="&quot;Couples massage&quot;" title="couples-massage" width="290" height="225" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-45" /></a>Couples massage is a perfect way to spend some quality time with a person you really care for. It is not necessary that the couple consists of spouses or lovers for this massage. Any two persons, like mother and daughter, two intimate friends or sisters or even business partners can take this massage.<br />
<span id="more-43"></span><br />
There is a facility for this kind of massage in almost every massage parlor. Two massage tables are placed side by side or opposite each other for the massage. Both the persons obtain massage from two therapists. Or else, both the recipients are attended by only one professional one after the other. The room has a system to keep the temperature suitable to both of you. A soothing music is played and aromatic candles are lighted to create a pleasant atmosphere. Some massage clinics have some additional facilities in the room too, for some extra charges. They are steam showers, mud treatments and scenic outside views. </p>
<p>On the other hand, if you wish, you can get the service at your doorsteps too. You can enjoy the massage in the comfort of your house, which is given by the massage practitioners using their own equipment. You will just have to provide them a room in which they can do their jobs comfortably setting up the equipment, and which is a bit separate from the remaining house, so as to give you both the desired relaxation. </p>
<p>If your partner is taking the massage for the first time, couples massage is ideal for removing his or her inhibitions about massage. The other person is at ease because you are with him or her. The reason behind it is the thought of taking the massage on their own, often makes many people uncomfortable. If somebody, who is intimate, accompanies them, they feel more comfortable and then they are eager to book the next massage individually. This massage also helps in pacifying the stress between two persons related to each other in any way. </p>
<p>You can choose to remain quiet or chat with the other person, while the massage is going on. You should ensure if you wish to talk, that your companion too wishes the same. There is a possibility that one wants to chat and the other wants quietness, which gives rise to irritation. </p>
<p>There are lots of massages, of which you can choose one which you like. You can choose amongst deep tissue massage, Indian head massage, Chinese massage, Shiatsu and so on. Some clinics offer sensual massage too for loving couples. You should think twice before taking this massage, as there is more nudity and more arousing techniques included in it. The other aspect of this is, such a massage can be very helpful if the couple is thinking of getting involved into more romantic meetings. </p>
<p>Cost of this massage is obviously twice than a single person’s massage. At times, it costs more too. The massage which gives an experience beyond just the process of massage is more expensive. Wine, manicure, pedicure etc. are such extra features. Other facilities like aromatherapy, facial, hot stones etc. can also be taken as per your liking. </p>
<p>Couples massage can take the form of a wonderful gift on the occasion of birthday, anniversary, Mother’s Day or Valentine Day and make the day unforgettable for your loved one. </p>
