Massage is the act and art of treating the body through touch. A massage may be done by rubbing, kneading, patting, or similar actions. Such acts help regulate blood circulation, increase flexibility, and relieve tension. The most popular form of massage in America uses Swedish methods. In this method, massage therapists use long smooth strokes, kneading, and circular motions. They apply these motions on the muscle using lotion or oil. Aromatherapy massage uses general massage techniques and scented plant oils. These oils can be relaxing, stress-reducing, energizing, or balancing. Hot stone massage makes the use of heated, smooth stones that are placed on certain points of the body. Gentle pressure is applied with the stones to relieve muscle tension. Deep tissue massage aims to soothe deeper muscle and tissue layers. Thus, the therapists use slower strokes to target deeper into the muscles. Shiatsu, a Japanese form of massage, uses finger pressure in a rhythmic motion. Shiatsu helps improve the flow of energy and regain balance. Like Shiatsu, Thai massage targets specific points on the body for balance. Thai massage also uses stretches and is energizing. There are also specific massages like massages for pregnant women and athletes. In addition, reflexology, or foot massage is done by applying pressure on the foot. The belief is that certain points on the foot correspond to organs and systems in the body. Whatever a person's need, one may try relaxing and refreshing by getting a massage.

Read the excerpt from the common sense of bicycling: bicycling for ladies. the bicycle is capable of such high speed that there is a strong temptation to ride so fast as to cause over exertion or excessive perspiration. on the other hand some people ride too slow, causing a zigzag and uncertain movement. while exercising reasonable caution, be a fearless rider. when you come to a steep hill, if the road is clear, let it go as fast as it will. if you rid yourself of that ghost of fear, coasting is one of the greatest delights of cycling. which is the best paraphrase of the text?
