In a world where work stress, the juggling of schedules, and financial worries plague society on a daily basis, we look to any and every option to give us respite from the chaos. Stress relief comes in many different forms; and what works for one, may not work for another. But, one form of stress relief that typically relieves symptoms for most every one is massage therapy.
Massage therapy uses touch to soothe - and often heal - the body. Using a combination of strokes that are dependent on the type of massage being performed, different areas of the body are tended to in an effort to release energy trapped through stress or illness. Massage results in increased blood flow, the reduction of stress, anxiety, and depression, and even increased function of body systems - lowering blood pressure, heart rate - and giving the client an overall sense of wellbeing.
The roots of massage therapy lie in ancient Chinese medicine; as a matter of fact, the first reference to therapeutic massage can be seen throughout Chinese medical reference books as far back as 2,700 B.C. The origins of massage were about healing; ancient civilizations used the art of massage to boost immunity and speed healing from disease, illness, and injury.
When people think of massage therapy in the modern world, they often think of the spas that offer a full line of different types of massage. And it is true that these types of massage can bring enormous positive effects to the body as a whole. But, in addition, modern medical facilities - like the ancient civilizations before us - continue to use massage in tandem with traditional medicine. They have found that frequent use of massage in intensive care units, nurseries, and even in labor and delivery rooms during childbirth, will allow the body to battle pain, sickness, and injury with positive energy.
That is not to say that the massage found in spas and delivered by independent massage therapists isn’t just as beneficial. Today, we have the opportunity to choose from among a wide variety of massage techniques - each having its own distinctive benefits. Most often, in the spa environment - or working with massage therapists - clients will choose Swedish massage.
This type of massage uses a long, slow stroking technique to ease muscle tension; it is considered to be one of the most popular forms of massage. For athletes, or those who enjoy a stronger massager, deep tissue massage will reach the deepest muscles, releasing stress and helping to promote healing from injury or strain. Hot stone massage uses heated river rocks to therapeutically sooth muscles. And for women who are expecting, the maternity massage can safely sooth muscles put under stress through pregnancy.
Massage therapy has many different uses in the modern world - stress relief, relaxation, a day of pampering, and a bevy of healing properties including improved circulation, decreased inflammation, and the promotion of speedier healing. A lifestyle that incorporates massage into every day living will be rewarded with improved physical - and emotional - health.

Majority of Internet Resists Convenient Al Gore–Massage Therapist Puns
Yesterday, The National Enquirer posted a story about a 52-year-old Portland massage therapist’s 2006 accusations of sexual assault by Al Gore. According to a police report that hit the Internet this morning, the woman called the former vice-president a “sex-crazed poodle”—an oddly specific, heretofore unheard of characterization—and described his (alleged!) increasingly insistent, increasingly physical demands that she have sex with him. Although she declined to file charges against Gore for reasons unknown, she told detectives, “he pleaded, groped me, grabbed me, engulfed me in embrace, tongue kissed me, massaged me, grabbed my breasts.” Gore and his camp have refuted the allegations and dismissed the notion that the reason she did not sue Gore was because he paid her off.
Now, there is a lot of moral ambiguity here! As we learned from winter’s forgotten David W. Johnson–David Paterson Incident, whether or not a victim of sexual abuse files suit is a decision that is likely going to be influenced by a number of competing factors. And that this unidentified woman reportedly sold the rights to her story to the Enquirer for a million dollars does not, of course, mean that Gore is innocent. And so, it is with these things in mind (probably), that the Internet has largely refrained from speculating on the veracity of the women’s story and mocking what is a very unfortunate situation for all involved. Mazel tov, that part of the Internet.

Massage Therapy Now at Balance Gym Thomas Circle
Balance Gym Thomas Circle now offers massage therapy. Tim Rogers is a full time massage therapist on the premises who has been in private practice since 1985. He offers a range of therapeutic modalities suited to a client’s particular needs. He integrates deep tissue and sport’s massage, trigger point work, Reiki, Craniosacral therapy, connective tissue mobilization and energy work to address a client’s issues.
Massage therapy can be helpful to an array of people, from the ultra-athlete to the stressed out business person. It’s is a wonderful way to relieve physical pain and stress. By opening and softening the muscle tissue in the body, massage increases circulation to tight muscles so they rid themselves of waste more efficiently and so take in nutrition more efficiently. This can optimize an athlete’s performance. As well, massage reduces stress and inflammation and encourages the body to release chemicals that enhance a sense of well-being. Research shows that massage can also boost the immune system. A session of massage therapy is a break from the pace of one’s ordinary life, away from everyday stresses and a time to be in the here and now.
Tim also specializes in process-oriented bodywork. This is a particular kind of work for those who have experienced trauma of any kind at anytime in their lives. This work integrates dialogue, imagery and energy, and touch work on the massage table. He works with the client to create a safe and trusting environment for healing. Often survivors of trauma don’t know who or what to trust, including themselves. A client can begin to identify and soften defenses in the body and so believe what she or he is feeling and experiencing. This can be a means to taking more risks and opening up more deeply to life. This work can also be a helpful adjunct to individual psychotherapy.
Tim is also starting an ongoing, weekly support group for single people. He’s been facilitating groups since 1987. If you’re someone who wants an intimate, romantic connection, it can sometimes be difficult to make. You work hard in your profession. You make time for the gym and for friends, but what about dating? The thought of meeting people can be daunting and confusing. How do you approach it all? Do you go out to bars and parties to meet people? Do you join a computer dating site? Do you ask friends to set you up? It’s easy to feel alone and overwhelmed by it all.
An ongoing weekly support group is forming at Balance Gym’s Thomas Circle location. We will explore ways to meet new people, create strategies for each group member that suits her/his personality and nature. You will be encouraged to identify and challenge your personal demons that keep you from finding romance . A support group is a great way to begin the process by being in relationship with people week after week, making friends and allies. As someone once said, “We’re not here to see through each other but to see each other through.” Everyone is welcome, gym members and non-members. There will be a nominal fee.
