When I walked onto the Oak Street Beach the first thing I noticed was a desert welcoming massage tent complete with flowing curtains. What a feeling of peace. Seeing the Lake Michigan sand and water, the newly planted palm trees from the neighboring Oak Street Beachstro and the soft breezes of wind, relaxed and prepared me for an experience through massage-a Coups De Main or Strokes of the healing Hands with Bruce Groeper, LMT. Bruce will visit you in your home, office,corporate event and private parties. Bruce is a professional massage therapist with a calming and pleasing personality. I recommend Bruce for impromptu massages as you relax on Oak Street Beach. As the summer wanes on an appointment is necessary so you are not disappointed! Massage is the treatment and practice of manipulation of the soft body tissues with physical, functional, i.e. mechanical, medical/therapeutic, and in some cases psychological purposes and goals. The word comes from the French massage "friction of kneading," possibly from Arabic massa "to touch, feel, handle" or from Latin massa "mass, dough". In distinction the ancient Greek word for massage itself was anatripsis, and the Latin was frictio. Massage involves acting and manipulating the patient's body with pressure (structured, unstructured, stationary, and/or moving), tension, motion, or vibration done manually or with mechanical aids. Target tissues may include muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, joints, or other connective tissue, as well as lymphatic vessels, and/or organs of the gastrointestinal system. Another benefit from a massage is regeneration of the skin. It is the largest organ of our body and needs constant attention to exfoliate and regenerate. Diet is also a vital part of our skin regime. Eat vegetables that contain vitamin C and beta carotene, and drink plenty water. See you on the beach! |
