our society due to sedentary habits, lack of exercise, poor nutrition, inadequate hydration, intake of drugs or stress. During travel you can aggravate the condition due to the change of water, food and customs.[slider title=\"read more \" hint=\"read more about Abdominal Massage\"] All this can cause us general discomfort, headaches, dry skin, among many other symptoms.\r\n\r\nAbdominal Massage is one of the most effective methods to relieve constipation, since it helps to strengthen the muscles of the digestive tract to properly dispose of the accumulated stool. Also stress can cause the feeling of having a knot in the stomach and this may cause abdominal pain accompanied by gas. The massage relieves tension and relaxes the abdominal muscles. Anyone suffering from intestinal bloating, gas, constipation, intestinal inflammations and general abdominal discomfort may benefit from Abdominal Massage.\r\n\r\nSome of the benefits of Manual Abdominal Treatments are: better nutrient absorption, the easier elimination of waste products from the body, a reduction in abdominal (intestinal) inflammation, the efficient draining of abdominal and lymphatic congestion, increased tone of  the abdominal organs and the improvement of both blood and lymph circulation.\r\n\r\nIt's a perfect complement to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dubaihtc.com\/colon-hydrotherapy-irrigation-cleaning-coloncleansing-dubai-detox\/\" target=\"_blank\">Colon Hydrotherapy.<\/a>[\/slider]\r\n\r\n<strong>Bamboo Massage<\/strong>\r\nBamboo Therapy is a technique of oriental origin. Thousands of years ago it was believed that bamboo absorbed the negative energy of our body, and after circulating through the interior of the bamboo stems was returned to our anatomy as a source of clean and positive energy by [slider title=\"read more \" hint=\"read more about Bamboo Massage\"] balancing the Energy Centers (Chakras). In the course of time many others benefits for the human body have also been discovered such as, relaxation of the muscles, activation of the circulation and drainage of impurities amongst many others. It can also be used as a complementary therapy in weight reduction since it  is deeper than reductive massage and distributes adipocytes, in order to destroy them, while reducing fluids and fats.  During\" Bamboo Massage\", the therapist lubricates the skin with massage oil and performs different movements with the bamboo stems around the back, legs, abdomen and arms. Bamboo Therapy makes use of the Oriental world and its millennial knowledge with the sole intention of promoting  good feelings both on the inside and on the outside.[\/slider]\r\n\r\n<strong>Californian Massage<\/strong>\r\nThe Californian Massage or Sensitive Massage, is directed, principally, to a healthy person. Its intention is to relieve the physical and emotional consequences that the stress generates. It is applied through gentle movements and harmonics. It provides general relaxation and a sense of integration of body and mind providing the release of tensions physical, mental and emotional.\r\n\r\n<strong>Chiro-Massage<\/strong>\r\nChiro-Massage is a term created by the Spanish Doctor Vicente Lino Ferr\u00c3\u00a1ndiz Garc\u00c3\u00ada in 1920 in Barcelona. The original name in Spanish is quiro-masaje: from Latin prefix Chiro (Kheir) -  \u20ac\u0153hand \u20ac\u009d where only hands are used in massage.[slider title=\"read more \" hint=\"read more about Chiro-Massage\"]\r\n\r\nThe Chiro-Massage is a group of movements made with the hands in contact of the patient \u00b4s body, these movements that are of several types include a range of: Kneading, percussions, frictions, claps, pinches, pumping, vertebral shakes, touch, rotations, muscular stretching and mobilizations.\r\n\r\nThe intensity with which these movements are applied is determined by the massage type that will be made. Soft movements are for relaxation or sensitive Chiro-Massage and intense movements are for sportive Chiro-Massage adapted for muscular contractures and small muscular problems.\r\n\r\n \u20ac\u00a2 Located and complete relieving and relaxing massage\r\n \u20ac\u00a2 Abdominal massage for intestinal transit and constipation\r\n \u20ac\u00a2 Leg circulatory massage[\/slider]\r\n\r\n\r\n<strong>Infant(baby) Massage Therapy<\/strong>\r\nResearch shows that Infant Massage has been beneficial in the following areas:\r\n \u20ac\u00a2 Helps Relieve Discomfort from Gas, Colic, and Constipation\r\n \u20ac\u00a2 Improves Blood Circulation\r\n \u20ac\u00a2 Aids in Digestion\r\n[slider title=\"read more \" hint=\"read more about Infant Massage Therapy\"]\r\n \u20ac\u00a2 Enhanced Development of the Nervous System\r\n \u20ac\u00a2 Stimulates Neurological Development\r\n \u20ac\u00a2 Increases Alertness\/Heightened Awareness\r\n \u20ac\u00a2 Reduces Stress Hormones\r\n \u20ac\u00a2 Improves Immune Function\r\n \u20ac\u00a2 The Releases of Oxytocin, the Nurturing Hormone\r\n[\/slider]\r\n\r\n\r\n<strong>Swedish Massage<\/strong>\r\nSwedish massage is the most common and best-known type of massage in the West. The massage is based on the Western concepts of anatomy and physiology, as opposed to energy work on \"meridians\" or sen lines in Asian massage systems.[slider title=\"read more \" hint=\"read more about Swedish Massage\"]\r\n\r\nDuring the Swedish massage, Gema lubricates the skin with massage oil and performs various massage strokes. These movements warm up the muscle tissue, releasing tension and gradually breaking up muscle \"knots\" or adhered tissues, called adhesions. Swedish massage promotes relaxation, among other health benefits like pain relief, reduced trait anxiety and depression, and temporarily reduced blood pressure, heart rate, and state of anxiety.\r\n\r\nTheories behind what Swedish massage might do include blocking nociception (gate control theory), activating the parasympathetic nervous system, which may stimulate the release of endorphins and serotonin, preventing fibrosis or scar tissue, increasing the flow of lymph, and improving sleep, but such effects are yet to be supported by well-designed clinical studies.\r\n\r\nBoth Swedish massage and physical therapy were pioneered by a Swedish physiologist, Per Henrik Ling (1776-1839) at the University of Stockholm.\r\n\r\nIn the early 19th century he developed a system called \"Medical Gymnastics\" which included movements performed by a therapist. These became the known as \"Swedish movements\" in Europe and \"the Swedish Movement Cure\" when they came to the U.S. in 1858. Today it is simply known as Swedish massage.\r\nSwedish massage is the foundation for other types of Western massage, including sports massage, deep tissue massage and aromatherapy massage.\r\n[\/slider]\r\n\r\n[\/ezcol_1half]\r\n\r\n[ezcol_1half_end id=\"\" class=\"teambox\" style=\"\"]<p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"teamheader\">Team<\/div>\r\n\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-859\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dubaihtc.com\/images\/raquel_occu_dubai.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"235\" \/>Raquel Lopez<\/strong>\r\nRaquel graduated in 2010 as an Occupational Therapist from the Oviedo University in Spain.
