Massage is one of the oldest and most common techniques to treat each other. Touching each other is a non-verbal way of communication. It is the intention that turns a touch into a healing or into a painful experience. Every child makes this experience in his mother's arms. (i.e. touch for health).
Besides that, therapeutical massage has the aim to heal through the body.
I use the following techniques for massage:
Classical massage
Releasing techniques from Shiatsu
Trigger point massage
Reflexology
Fertility massage
for women who want a baby but are too much under stress to release and let things happen (only works, if the reason for infertility is not the husband of course, any serious health problem or a completely confused hormone system after years of hormone therapy).
