BENEFITS OF A DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE:
• Helps to remove toxins, carbon dioxide and lactic acid
• Helps to control tissue tension
• Helps to reduce muscular pain
Deep tissue massage is effective for those that have had long term chronic problems, caused as a result of repetitive physical activity or trauma.
It assists in correcting problems areas, and imbalances in the soft tissues of the muscles. It also helps to stretch out muscles that become tight from poor posture.
WHY DO MUSCLES BECOME UNHEALTHY?
The body naturally compensates, after it has been affected by trauma or poor posture and it is because of this that the muscles spasms and becomes rigid. This prevents the blood from flowing freely within the muscle and in turn starves the muscle of oxygen and nutrients. The end results can be, that the muscle cannot work as effectively as it could.
Muscles need glucose or oxygen, and without this muscles become weak, hard and unhealthy. They then fail to relax, which results in spasms and pain. The muscles constrict and this eventually starts to pull on the tendons causing tension. This is better known as a knot in the muscle, these can get inflamed and cause loss in function and mobility.
HOW DOES THE MASSAGE WORK?
The massage works because it hits the main target areas that are creating the pain and discomfort. Neuromuscular techniques are used to help stretch out the muscle. Pressure is used to hit the main area of pain and is applied directly into these areas of tension. Deep tissue massage works on a deeper level and brings the blood to the surface for quicker and more effective results. Improved blood flow to the area helps to unblock the area and carries away unwanted waste and toxins that we simply do not need.
It should be noted that this massage is not a relaxing massage ,it is very stimulating. Some areas of tension and any knots being worked on can be painful, although care is taken to ensure it is comfortable as possible.
After the 1st session the movement and mobility of the body is more liberated.
Weekly treatments are required then fortnightly after the 1st month of treatments to feel the added benefits.
