The Difference Between Massage and Bodywork

In a nutshell, massage is a form of bodywork but bodywork is more than massage. Massage vs. bodywork. Which do you choose? What is the difference? In general, one chooses massage for relaxation, general well-being, or for addressing specific muscular concerns. Those who are looking to address specific issues, such as pain, flexibility, posture, or low energy, will seek out bodywork. Most therapists will combine both massage and bodywork techniques to address their client’s needs. Once the client expresses their goals for the session, the therapist will use the technique to probably serve those needs. Some popular modalities are the Reiki method and the Rolfing treatment.

Most massage tables are flat but the human body is not flat with all its curves.Thus, the Model 800 with its mid-split design is a perfect fit for the human body. It provides a much-needed comfort to the client by helping him/her be in the most relaxed state their body needs.

It is both ergonomic and effective all while giving the patient (and therapist) an energy boost.

Stretch Therapy

A new method of fast, effective & long lasting manual therapy is Fascial Stretch Therapy. Stretch therapy works by moving the joint along with the surrounding tissues to help the fascia and muscles relax at the same time. The Model 800 provides both the patient and therapist with the best environment and relaxation possible and the mid-split design allows all types of body relaxation.

Sports Therapy
