What is therapeutic massage?
A combination of multiple techniques that address the areas of tension while also providing general relaxation.
Benefits of massage therapy:
Using massage techniques such as kneading, effleurage, trigger point, myofascial release, and others promote a benefit of:
Reducing Muscular Tension
Proprioceptors located in the muscle provide information that is important for motor control, posture and gait. Utilizing massage techniques alleviates the proprioceptors allowing for better muscle communication and decrease of tension.
Recovery from Exercise Performance
Physical activity or repetitive movements generates a demand that is placed on the muscles and skeletal system to perform. Massage aids to nourish exerted muscles and provide relief allowing for continued physical activity and lessening of injury.
Relaxation
The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for such things as slowing of heart rate, lowering blood pressure and stimulating digestion. Massage supports the activation of the parasympathetic system which then prompts the systems of the body to relax, recover, rest and digest.
Improve Circulation
Circulation includes the free flow of blood, lymph, nerve impulses and energy throughout the body. Massage stimulates the movement, reduces blockages and cultivates a free-flowing movement of a full body circulation.
Pain Management
Specialized nerve endings are located throughout the body, they detect pain and notify the nervous system. Pain may range from acute, moderate or chronic. Massage can assist in managing pain by addressing the direct cause and by distracting the pain signals for relief both physically and mentally.
Increase Range of Motion and Flexibility
Through the reduction of muscular tension and increase in circulation generates for improved range of motion and flexibility. Having better range of motion and flexibility benefits mobility and reduces possible injury in activities.
