DEEP TISSUE/SPORTS MASSAGE

Massage therapy helps in relieving tension in specific muscles that have built up due to injury or stress. Massage therapy helps you to get the blood flowing which speeds up the recovery process.

Hand techniques like effleurage, stroking kneading are used to release tension.

The skin is lifted, pressed down, and squeezed, pinched and rolled. Alternate squeezing and relaxation of the tissues stimulates the local circulation and may have a pain-relieving effect with some muscular disorders.

Effects

  • Reduced muscle tension and pain
  • Improved joint mobility and range of motion
  • Increased circulation
  • Improved posture
  • Increased relaxation response

BENEFITS

 

  • REDUCES PAIN

 

Ø  STRESS RELIEF

Massage can help lower cortisol levels and increase levels of oxytocin, a hormone that relaxes the body and produces soothing effects.

It can also help with physical symptoms of stress, such as tight muscles and shoulders and tension headaches. A deep tissue massage can address these issues and help your body relax.

Ø  LOWERS BLOOD PRESSURE AND HEART RATE

Deep tissue massage reduces stress and tension, which impacts blood pressure. Massage has positive impacts on systolic, diastolic, and arterial blood pressure. The massage can also increase production of serotonin, which promotes good feelings and happiness.

Ø  BREAKS UP SCAR TISSUE & MAKES MOVEMENT EASIER

Getting regular deep tissue massages can help break up this scar tissue by improving lymphatic circulation and drainage to improve flexibility and range of motion in the area of the scar tissue.

Ø  REDUCES ARTHRITIS SYMPTOMS

Deep tissue massage therapy can be used to treat many different symptoms of arthritis, like pain, stiffness, limited range of motion in joints, and sleep issues.

Moderate pressure can reduce arthritis pain and ease tension, making it easier for those with arthritis to move around. It can also help with sleep issues by alleviating pain that may keep arthritis patients awake at night.

Ø  REHABILITATES INJURED MUSCLES

A deep tissue massage can help stretch tight or twisted muscles and can also facilitate the movement of toxins from your muscles.

Deep tissue massage therapy is used frequently to treat sports-related injuries. Many athletes are incorporating deep tissue massage into their recovery protocols, as they can help delay the onset of muscle soreness, help with muscle fatigue, and prevent injuries.
