Acrosage is not your typical massage therapy as it includes bizarre positions and postures while being suspended and held in the air in an upside down position. However, like any form of therapeutic massage, it delivers quite wonderful results right after the massage session.

Benjamin Marantz was a circus acrobat who developed and combined two arts into one great massage therapy during his time in the circus in the 1980s. After experiencing injuries in his back, he formulated a way to work on a person’s body while assuming acrobatic positions. This technique is somehow similar to Thai massage which uses passive yoga on its patients, although the patient is held above the ground with this technique.

Contrary to most mild massage therapies where the patient can relax and eventually falls asleep during the massage therapy, acrosage provides a different approach. The patient though is kept awake during the session due to the need for his cooperation with the various gentle transitions of postures. The patient still experiences a relaxing and soothing feeling even though his or her posture may seem quite uncomfortable. Whole body relaxation is achieved through the suspension of the body in the air while massage is being conducted on the different areas of the patient’s body.

This unique method of natural healing therapy is distinguished among the other types of massage therapy on many reasons. Below are some of the interesting ways of how effects and benefits are achieved with acrosage massage technique:

– Flexibility – Acrosage provides whole flexibility due to the fact that it suspends the patient upside down, allowing the therapist to fully work on correcting each part of the body in its proper place for optimum mobility.

– Immune System – Regular sessions of this technique is known and proven in rising up the patient’s immunity against any type of sickness.

– Good Posture – Acrosage therapist decompresses aligns and then arranges the spine of the patient during sessions thus improving the overall posture of the client.

– Good Blood and Oxygen Circulation – As the body is held in a beneficial acrobatic position, the therapist works on improving the flow of blood and oxygen within the patient’s body.

Acrosage has been proven and tested by many personalities and have expressed their great experience of total body relaxation and relief from stress both mentally and physically. For that reason, this type of therapeutic massage continues to gain its popularity even with its unique style and approach in the field of massage therapy.

Professional medical advice is still required when opting for having this treatment in your medical care list. Just like most alternative medical care, there are risks and contradictions surrounding each type of therapy. Acrosage is expressed by its developer as not suitable for everyone especially for those with detached retina problems, glaucoma, and vertigo. It is also not advisable for people who are afraid of being suspended upside down above the ground as they will be kept in that position for most of the time during their massage therapy session.
