Deep Tissue Massage
Benefits Of Deep Tissue Massage:
Today, with our hectic lifestyles and unhealthy habits, we all carry deep rooted stress in our bodies. When you are stressed out and tired and over worked, the muscles also tend to get tired and stressed and that blocks the oxygen and nutrients, leading to inflammation and build up of toxins in the muscles. To get rid of the toxins and get proper blood and oxygen to circulate properly, deep tissue massage is necessary. It is very helpful to drink lots of water after this massage as the toxins are released through the body. In this kind of massage, there is a energy between the giver and receiver and the therapist must feel the persons body and mind through this massage. This kind of massage is very helpful for athletes as their muscles are exposed daily to strenous exercise. Deep tissue massage increases mobility and also loosens the muscles. But you don’t have to be an athlete to enjoy deep tissue massage.
The therapist uses lotion, oil or cream to reduce the friction in working into the deeper structures of the muscle fibers. Frequently, the therapist may also use aromatic oils or lotions that help enhance the response to relax and self heal. Deep tissue massage has replaced the classic Swedish massage in terms of frequent use. Before for instance, people would frequent just about any spa to simply get relaxed but now days most people seek a massage that stimulates, conditions and heals. People suffering from chronic pain, fibromyalgia, muscle cramping, edema and carpal tunnel syndrome find relief from deep tissue massage. Massaging on the painful areas by exerting pressure on it helps stimulate circulation.
