Deep Tissue Massage: Remedy Aches More Effectively

Are you tired of living with aching muscles? Have you tried over the counter medicines

, even prescription medication to no avail? During our stressful days, and busy lives, our muscles can start to throb and tighten. These are more than surface pains, these go deep into the connective tissue. This sort of pain calls for deep tissue massage.

If you are new to massage, heres something you should know. It is not a great new cure, no, this art has been practiced throughout the world. Chinese records dating back 3,000 years document its use; the ancient Hindus, Persians and Egyptians applied forms of massage for many ailments; and even Hippocrates wrote papers recommending the use of rubbing and friction for joint and circulatory problems. So, how is this cure practiced? Well, there are a variety of methods, over 250 to be precise. Some include tapping, kneading, vibration, rocking, applying pressure to muscles, stroking and compression! Massage is the manipulation of superficial layers of muscle and connective tissue. This is done to enhance function and promote relaxation and well-being.

If you have pain for an on-going amount of time, it may be deep tissue problems. Deep tissue massage can alleviate many problems. Bands of painful tissue can cause muscle tension which can be serious, even debilitating. One must go deep beyond the surface, and may need a specialist in this field. Tools will be used to work on the area and there will be very specific localized rubbing. This goes into the connective tissue, and breaks up the painful area. Elbows as well as fingers are used.

With any massage, special equipment is used for deep tissue massage. As these therapists are self-employed, he/she will have his/her own equipment consisting of a table with a horseshoe shaped head support for ease of breathing while lying face-down. It has a padded surface which is easy to keep clean and remain hygienic. Mats and pillows are also used for additional support. With the increased interest in massage therapy, this job field is growing.

One can have an international experience while receiving a massage. Along with oils, feet, stones, hands etc, one must find ones favorite type of massage. You may find that Lomi Lomi massage in Hawaii, Samoan, Shiatsu, Thai or even Chinese massage suits your needs. If not, then maybe try Swedish massage, which in Sweden is known as classical massage. Whatever method of massage you choose, whatever ails you, a deep tissue massage can help. It can help relieve pain, anxiety, depression and a variety of diseases. There is no way to blind-test massage therapy, as the person being tested is going to be touched, and we cannot deny that the sense of touch is very therapeutic by itself. Be sure to try it out and find what type of massage works best for you!
