Gecko Massage Story: Directly from the Owner, Shannon Carlin

In 1997 I started Gecko Massage Supply Co. I was a student in my second year of Massage College and supplies were hard to come by in Winnipeg. My little store sold products such as Stronglite equipment and anything needed in a clinic. I met a Chemist soon after and the reality of manufacturing our own products was born. We started making our own portable tables as well.

Why Full Body Massage is essential?

Receiving a full body massage is a key to good health. Not only is it relaxing it has a lot of benefits too!

Procedure for Full Body Massage

A single session of massage therapy can range from 50 – 60 minutes. The ambiance is pleasant and the lighting is dim to create a sense of calmness before massage starts so you can be completely relaxed during the massage session.

Below are some of the benefits that help us to know why full body massage is essential:

1. Reduces muscular pain

Full body massage can reduce muscular pain and improve blood circulation. It also helps in reducing local circulation which leads to the lack of oxygen and nutrients. This in turn prevents built up of metabolic wastes and toxins.

2. Reduces chronic pain

A lot of research has been done and there is evidence that full body massage is an effective way to improve the function of the body muscles. This also reduces the pain due to past injuries.

3. Reduce Surgery Effects

It is proven that full body massage can increase lymph flow. This massage reduces the extra lymph and harmful toxins and reduces the swelling pain. It also helps in providing necessary oxygen and other nutrients by inducing blood circulation in the body. Clinical research says that full body massage can reduce post-surgery pain especially for those who have under gone heart surgery

4. Increases flexibility

Full body massage increases flexibility and various ranges of motion in different ways. It can relax and loosen the stiff muscles by breaking up adhesion which can form over ligaments and tendons around the joints. Full body massage softens the connective tissue which is around muscles, tendons, bones and ligaments of your body. Research done on a group of dancers showed that regular full body massage improved their range of motion, balance and body posture.

5. Improves posture

Full body massage helps in improving the body’s posture by softening the tissues. Some of the connective tissues of the body get rigid and tight which can lead to poor body posture.

6. Relieves Stress

Full body massage is a proven way to relieve stress. It reduces stress hormones like cortisole and leaves the body feeling refreshed.

7. Improves immune system function

A full body massage helps in boosting a body’s immune system. It allows the nervous system to enter the parasympathetic response which helps with relaxation. Massage aids the body to send more energy through restoration and healing. Studies suggest that a full body massage increases production of immune cells such as natural killer cells and other immune cells. These cells work to fight against the harmful HIV and cancer cells.

8. Relieves tension headaches

A lot of headaches are triggered by muscle tension. Muscles that develop trigger points can send the pain to other parts of the body which includes head and brain. Full body massage helps to relieve the trigger substance. It can help decrease headaches, sleep problems and many problems like migraines. It can be an effective tool in keeping a person’s mind and body healthy. Even the massage oilmassage lotion and other things can help make the massage experience an excellent one.
