THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE
Therapeutic massage is often used to help relieve muscle tension and pain. It may be used on its own, but it is also often used in conjunction with other traditional pain treatments. Therapeutic Massage may also be helpful for helping people deal with symptoms of conditions including:
Anxiety, Depression, Digestive disorders, Fibromyalgia, Headaches, Insomnia, Panic disorder, Stress, etc.
Therapeutic massage can help reduce muscle tension, which is why it may help relieve some symptoms that are associated with stress and anxiety.
We combine various modalities and techniques into one great customized, Therapeutic Massage.
Choose between Swedish Massage, Trigger Point Therapy, Sports Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Circulatory Massage or Reflexology.
SWEDISH MASSAGE
Swedish massage is focused primarily on the body and, therefore, is a more physical approach to relieving stress, aches, pains, and tension. One benefit of Swedish massage is its ability to relax the mind-brain connection—the mind being the energy and thoughts, and the brain being the physical matter. This is thought to contribute to a more balanced, stimulated, and integrated system. A healthy mind-brain connection may also help facilitate better physical health.
Swedish massage helps the body heal itself by physically manipulating and stimulating the body’s circulatory and lymphatic systems. This works to energize and help eliminate toxins in the body. Also, through Swedish massage, a high level of relaxation can often be achieved, and this relaxation can help prepare the body to act as an open, receptive vessel in which healing can more rapidly occur.
TRIGGER POINT THERAPY
Trigger point is a type of massage therapy targeting areas of the muscles that have contracted and formed small, fibrous nodules that are tender to the touch, sometimes referred to as “knots.” Pressing on these points can also produce pain in other areas, sometimes quite a distance from the point of origin. This is called “referred pain.”
Unlike other types of massage that may involve the whole body, trigger point massage focuses on these specific areas by applying isolated pressure on the point, followed by release.
Trigger point massage therapy releases constricted areas in the muscle to relieve pain and help you regain mobility. Similar to deep tissue massage, this type of therapy may not be a relaxing process but it can significantly relax your muscles and release tension, often after just one session.
SPORTS MASSAGE
Sports massage was designed for athletes, but is useful for anyone with chronic pain, injury or range-of-motion issues. Sports massage was originally developed to help athletes prepare their bodies for optimal performance, recover after a big event, or function well during training. Sports massage emphasizes prevention and healing of injuries to the muscles and tendons.
But you don’t have to be in the Olympics or even in a recreational league. You can even be a clicker-control athlete to benefit from sports massage. Sports massage is also good for people with injuries, chronic pain or restricted range of motion. The massage therapist generally concentrates on a specific problem area.
The benefits of Sports Massage are many. It can help reduce the chance of injury, through proper stretching and event preparation, and through deep tissue massage. It improves range of motion and muscle flexibility, resulting in improved power and performance. Sports massage allows for recovery times to be shortened between workouts. This allows the athlete optimal training. Massage also maximizes the supply of nutrients and oxygen through increased blood flow and enhances the elimination of metabolic by-products of exercise.
deep tissue mASSAGE
Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronic aches and pains and contracted areas such as stiff neck and upper back, low back pain, leg muscle tightness, and sore shoulders.
Some of the same strokes are used as classic massage therapy, but the movement is slower and the pressure is deeper and concentrated on areas of tension and pain in order to reach the sub-layer of muscles and the fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles).
Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage:
-
Reduces chronic pain
-
Improved recovery from injury
-
Improves mobility (helps with posture imbalances)
-
Reduces muscle soreness, tightness and spasms from physical activity
-
Triggers the release of oxytocin and serotonin (boosts mood and relaxation)
-
Reduces cortisol and heart rate (lowers stress)
CIRCULATORY mASSAGE
This therapeutic style of massage has several benefits associated with it when applied properly. Apart from being very effective in relaxing the muscles and increasing the oxygen in the blood, this massage helps the lymphatic system to remove the toxins from the body, cleanses the body from the tissues of lactic acid, uric acid and other metabolic waste. It also helps in reducing the pain, stiffness of joints, lowering the blood pressure, reducing the headaches, reducing the stress, promoting speedy recovery from illness/injury and providing greater flexibility. This therapy has also proven beneficial in improving the mobility in patients suffering from knee osteoarthritis. It also stimulates the lymphatic system, as well as venous system, thus improving the fluid circulation and increasing the nutrition to the body cells and tissues.
This ancient form of healing is now becoming an essential part of stress management programs. It reduces the stress and fatigue and promotes an overall feeling of well being in individuals. This relaxing and rejuvenating massage can do wonders and improve the strength and vitality of the patient.
reflexology massage
Reflexology is an alternative medicine involving application of pressure to the feet and hands with specific thumb, finger, and hand techniques without the use of oil or lotion. It is based on a pseudoscientific system of zones and reflex areas that purportedly reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands, with the premise that such work effects a physical change to the body.
The benefits of reflexology include its ability to stimulate nerve function, increase energy, boost circulation, induce a deep state of relaxation, and eliminate toxins from the body. Moreover, it helps stimulate the central nervous system, prevent migraines, and treat urinary tract conditions. This type of massage speeds up recovery after an injury or surgery, reduces sleep disorders, and relieves depression and pain. It also helps in relieving side effects associated with cancer treatment and even soothe the pain of pregnancy, even the one occurring after delivery.
