Massage
Massage is an ancient study and skills of various forms of which help to heal, relax, and realign the physical body in ways that some modern medicine is incapable of doing. It uses the techniques requiring advance training from the practitioner of anatomy and physiology as they use manipulation, movement and the body’s natural systems to affect structures of the body. Originating from the skilled physicians of the Eyktol, massage has spread across the land, and their effects are widely felt from the weary and pained Syliras Knights to the hedonistic and pleasure loving Eypharians.
Prerequisites Needed: Lore of race specific anatomy.
Examples Lore of Human Anatomy, Eypharian Anatomy, Jamoura Anatomy, ect.
Notes: If one is preforming on a person out side of the racial lore they contain they operate automatically one level lower than they actually have.
Novice (1-25)
A novice practitioner understands the basics of massage. They are knowledgeable of a specific humanoid anatomy, and are thus capable of giving “good” massages. At the moment while they have the knowledge of anatomy they are only beginning to grasp the theory and practice of how to manipulate muscular layers and the general idea of where pressure points are, their hands are untried and clumsy.
In this stage they focus more upon the basics of massage and the relaxation of their clients by causing the muscles to relax by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones, and rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart.
Competent (26-50)
A competent practitioner has become more comfortable with the humanoid anatomy, and has developed a greater understanding in its flow and manipulation with practice their touch has become fluid and sure. They can now comfortably manipulate several pressure points, mapping out nearly a full quarter of the body, which make their massages and sessions all the more effective. If another who is studying massage is present, the practitioner has the option and knowledge to give a four-handed massage, which involves massaging both the left and right sides in mimicked motion to give a balanced experience. (Or if they have multiple limbs)
At this level they have begun to successfully learn and practice pain relief techniques such as easing headaches, muscle spasms and cramping.
Expert (51-75)
The expert Masseuse has come a long way from their unsure touches, and it shows greatly in their work. There are few pauses in their motion, and the pressure points of the body are nearly second nature to them; half of the body's points are well known and often touched upon in a session to maximize effect. Through experience, and intense study of the muscular system, they are capable of giving deep tissue massages, which affect the sub layer of the musculature and fascia. As a deep tissue massage helps with chronic muscular pain and injury rehabilitation and reduces inflammation-related pain caused by arthritis and tendinitis, an expert practitioner of massage is highly valued in bath houses or hospitals to treat people with painful, crippling injuries.
Master (76-100)
A master of massage is well known and sought after by many. They have no pause in their sessions; their movement of touch, of pressure and manipulation are as smooth as the flowing water in a river. Simple ailments such as a headache or a hot, tight, cramped muscle are no challenge to them, and can be cured often with a simple touch. Their advanced knowledge of the body allow them to give incredible deep tissue massages that leave one feeling rejuvenated at the end of a session, many claiming to feel as though they were born again. The master Masseur is capable of pinpointing the root of any ache or pain without fail, and is quick and efficient in treating it. . They possess complete and intimate knowledge of the humanoid anatomy, and every pressure point, important and stray, are known to the master. They know where to touch to promote circulation of the blood, relieve headaches, eye strain, sinus, neck, and back problems and a slew of more. In Massage, local symptoms are considered an expression of the condition of the body as a whole. A tension headache, for instance, may be rooted in the shoulder and neck area. Thus, a practitioner focuses on relieving pain and discomfort, as well as responding to tension, before it develops into a disease—before the constrictions and imbalances can do further damage, yet a Master, can do this in simple touches.
