Question

Read the passage and complete the sentences given below:

Massage can be a natural tranquilliser. It has been used in virtually every culture throughout
history to relieve aches and pains, unknot tense muscles, and help the body-- and the mind--
to relax. There are several types of the massage, but the most popular are Oriental massage
and Swedish massage. The chief difference between them is that some of the strokes in
Swedish massage are designed to stimulate a rather than to relax the body.
It is unfortunate that many people who might benefit from massage never try it, dismissing it
as a specialised treatment for athletes or disabled people or as an unjustifiable indulgence. If
you think this way, you are missing out on something enjoyable. Any one can learn to give
massage. It is a simple extension of warm human care and touch.
Professional masseurs and masseuses offer the benefit of both skill and experience. They
should be trained in anatomy and physiology so that they can identify muscles that are in
spasm or painful knots that have built up by misuse of the body. Experienced professionals
generally understand the requirements of various body types and are able to choose strokes
that the beneficial for the individual. During a typical one-hour session the routine builds
subtly in intensity and then subsides.
