Whether to relax aching muscles and joints or as a treatment for varius disorders, massage is increasingly used in a large number of hospital and nursing clinics, particulary for providing relief from chronic pain. It can also be very enjoyable practised with a partner.

The techniques are easy to learn, and both partners can benefit from the shared intimacy and the extra time spent together.

Key areas of the body which can become very tense and stiff and even misaligned from stress are the neck and shoulders and the back and these areas can benefit greatly from massage.

A massage can provide short – term relief from chronic pain for cancer patients, ease stiff joints or prevent tension headaches or migraines.
