Treatments
Massage therapy
Massage therapy is often seen as an extravagance or an unnecessary luxury. Few regard massage
as a viable form of medical treatment however; it is massage therapy that is the simplest and oldest
form of medicine, with references to massage in Chinese medical literature dating back to 2,700 B.C.
It is known that most pain originates in the soft tissues of the body. For example, headache pain often
originates in the subscapularous and sternocleidomastoid area (upper back and neck) and sciatica
problems typically originate in the muscles rather than problems with the vertebral disks themselves.
For some conditions, regular massage therapy can even remove the need for surgery. Carpal tunnel
syndrome for instance is a condition regularly treated with invasive surgery and one alignment that
regular massage therapy can actually correct.
A person who suffers from carpel tunnel feels pain and experiences numbness in the hands and
fingers however; the focus of the problem can well be the muscles in the upper back and neck.
Whatever the problem or condition, deep tissue massage therapy embodies the basic concept that
the body’s soft tissues, muscle, fascia, tendons and ligaments respond to touch thus helping to
alleviate pain, discomfort, muscle spasm and stress to promote overall health and well being.
The benefits of massage therapy
The benefits of massage therapy are immeasurable considering that massage affects every system in
the body. Research indicates that massage reduces stress, lowers heart rate, lowers blood pressure,
increases circulation, increases lymphatic flow, aids in the elimination of toxins and increases
endorphins that help to reduce pain. Research establishes that regular massage therapy improves
the range of motion, reduces recovery time, increases muscle tone and increases flexibility.
Deep tissue massage on workouts
While a massage won’t build muscle directly, it helps to facilitate the body’s rebuilding phase following
a workout and influences muscle growth. Getting a massage is just as important as regular workouts
and supportive nutrition for comprehensive fitness training. Investment in regular massage treatments
will ensure that all bodily systems function at an optimal level. For those people who are dedicated to
training sessions in the gym, regular massage therapy will enhance performance, maximise gains and
reduce your risk of injury.
If you haven’t had a massage lately, what are you waiting for? Get on the phone and make yourself a
booking today.
