The Added benefits Of Deep Tissue Massage

Posted on: June 7, 2011

There are a lot of different kinds of massages in the world today.  Everything like: aromatherapy massage, lymphatic drainage massage, sports massage, natural lift facial massage etc.; all of which are designed to have specific effects on the body.  Take lymphatic drainage for example; great for IBS and stress-related conditions; aromatherapy is good for things like menopause, stress, as well as many others.  The massage we’re going to talk about today is deep tissue massage therapy.  It has continued to grow in popularity over the recent years – we think do the fact, that today’s average person is under far more stress and pressure than usual; and people now are having to seek out workable alternative therapies from either recommendations or through personal research.  Deep tissue massage, if done right, lives up to its reputation.

Deep tissue massage is very a very intense and effective style of massage consisting of slow, long and deep strokes that works deep into the core of the muscle and tissues to enable a release of tension.  Although it is very helpful for athletes, it is now being used by everyday people to handle knots and tensions caused by stress and other influences; and if not treated, many cases do become more serious.  Most notably your muscle tissues will begin to loosen and feel more relaxed whilst akes and pains start to subside.  Post massage you will notice greater range of movements.

Our records indicate we treat 90% of clients with deep tissue massage compared to other styles of massage that we offer – due largely in part because people are understanding more about deep tissue massage and that there is another more effective choice.  Deep tissue massage has replaced the classic Swedish massage in terms of frequency of use whereas people all over the world normally sought out a massage for a simple purpose – to relax.   We are glad that people are becoming more aware about massage therapy and what it can do in terms of assisting healing and wellbeing – although it’s a sad fact that modern hectic life creates the added need for this style of massage regularly.

People who unfortunately suffer from diseases such as chronic discomfort, fibromyalgia, edema, muscle cramping, and even carpal tunnel syndrome (to name a few) often discover deep tissue massage in their search to relieve pain and discomfort.

Deep tissue massage uses very firm pressure.  For some who are new to deep tissue, it may be necessary to ease in to a full-blown massage like this as it is not uncommon to feel some discomfort.  The discomfort comes from easing the tight muscles and/or tissues by exerting the correct amount of pressure and deep tissue techniques necessary.  After the treatment there can be a few days of soreness.

The more often you have deep tissue massage the looser the muscles become, the body is more excepting of the treatment, and you get more benefits.  Having regular deep tissue massage is not only good for your muscles but it is also good for your overall health and wellbeing.

Our purpose is to heal your body.  Nico Tailored Therapies offers other styles of massage and alternative therapies, so treatments can be tailored to suit your needs.  No two bodies are the same and we understand that, therefore not two treatments are the same.
