1. Looking at the massage from the perspective of human development
The effects of massages are not just seen in adulthood, they are rooted in the biological foundations that exist from the beginning of human development. 마사지
1.1 Tactile sensation is the first
The earliest forming sensory receptors of embryonic development are the skin-related tactile receptors. 마타이
This means that touch takes precedence over sight or hearing, and is directly connected to the deep emotional centers in the brain.
1.2 Contact and Attachment: Fundamental prototype of massage
Touching between babies and caregivers is a key tool for attachment formation.
Massages reproduce this initial contact experience and are used to restore a sense of safety, bond, and emotional stability.
In particular, soft and repetitive contact induces oxytocin secretion, which improves trust and belonging between humans.
2. Restoration of massage and 'body memory'
2.1 "The Body Keeps the Score"
Trauma, emotional repression, and trauma are stored in the body before they are explained in words.
These memories can be physicalized in the form of tension, pain, chronic fatigue, and postural abnormalities.
2.2 Massage is a 'nonverbal language' approaching body memory
Memories or emotions that are difficult to express in words can be accessed indirectly through physical contact.
Massage is a therapeutic channel that goes beyond superficial muscle relaxation and creates and relieves emotional residues and 'sensitized memories'** in the body.
3. Interpret massage as 'sensory integrative therapy'
3.1 Sensory Integration Disorder and Massage
Some children or adults struggle with tactile, intrinsic, and vestibular integration, which can lead to behavioral problems, learning problems, and emotional anxiety.
Massages are a means of training sensory processing functions by providing these sensory stimuli in a controlled manner.
3.2 Association with Autism Spectrum
Massage, especially pressure stimulation, has been studied to have a significant emotional stability and self-regulation effect on children with autism spectrum.
This is because deep tactile pressure is transmitted to the central nervous system, restoring the regulatory function of the autonomic nervous system.
4. Massage in trauma recovery and body-oriented therapy
4.1 Post-traumatic stress and physical disconnection
After trauma, a person often doesn't trust his or her body or experiences a disconnect from his or her body senses.
Massage is used as a mechanism to gradually and safely restore these disconnected senses.
4.2 Somatic Experiencing, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy와의 통합
These therapeutic techniques focus on body sensations to control emotions and resolve trauma.
Massage therapy can complement these psychotherapy processes by providing stability by sensory information.
5. Restoring body self-awareness and body image
The massage restores **"a safe sense of my body"** through receptive contact, which leads to the following process.
Re-establishing Body Boundaries: Restoring blurred body boundaries after experiencing abuse or trauma
Restoring a sense of self-objectivity: Restoring the ability to feel the body as a positive object
Improving your body image: Strengthening your sense of accepting yourself as you are
This change is not just a psychological effect, but a key process of restoring oneself as a connected being between the body and the mind.
6. The ontological and intersubjective meanings of massage
6.1 Massage = Building relationships with others
Massage is a relational act in which one person carefully and consciously "respects" the body of another.
What matters at this time is the receptive touch, that is, the contact of recognizing and connecting the other's body as being, rather than suppressing or manipulating it.
6.2 Massage as a mutually subjective healing space
A nonverbal and sensory interaction space is formed between the person receiving the massage and the person doing it.
This space functions as a **psychotherapeutic sympathetic field**, and the client's self-healing ability is activated.
conclusion
Massage is a deep therapeutic language that goes beyond physical muscle relaxation and restores the memories, emotions, trauma, and self-awareness inherent in the body's senses.
It is a tactile interaction that enables the restoration of whole-life resilience and humanity, from tactile attachment in infancy to psychological recovery in adults and emotional stability in old age.
