subject: Deep Tissue Massage Remedy Cramps Sooner [print this page] One day in a nail salon, I overheard a lady (who was also having a leg massage) discuss the benefits of deep tissue massage. Not usually one to eavesdrop, I started paying more attention to her (not so private) cell phone conversation. Hey, if you're loudly talking into your cell, expect others to hear. My back had been hurting badly for the last 6 months, and there was only so much over the counter medication I could take at a go. This, I thought may be my solution.
When dealing with deep tissue pain, you need to do more than what I was doing. A deep tissue massage, as I discovered is specifically aimed at realigning deep muscle layers, stiff necks, shoulders and lower back pain. Bands of painful tissue can cause chronic muscle tension and discomfort. A deep tissue massage involves deep slow rubbing that concentrates on specific areas. It gets into the connective tissue, not just the superficial tissue.
We have to look beyond the surface and treat the deep tissue with deep tissue massage which involves localized rubbing with fingers or/and elbows and will use tools such as ceramic or wood. While most massage therapists are qualified is some deep tissue massage, there are specialists.
Deep tissue massage is a growing business. Once you find out more about it, you will want to try it frequently. Employment in this field in one that is actually growing these days. As a massage therapist is generally self-employed, and special equipment is use required for any sort of a massage, he/she will generally possess their own.
With any massage, special equipment is used for deep tissue massage. The equipment consists 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.
My experience with deep tissue massage was very rewarding. I continue to go frequently, but the greatest reward is that I am out of pain, and no longer need to take the medication, which I felt was adding toxins to my system. A bonus which I didn't expect was that I now have more energy than before.
Apparently when a massage is performed, an increase in blood flow can give more energy, as well as increasing brain function and the elimination of waste from the body is more efficient. All this sounds great right? Go check out your local massage spa. Investigate whether or not they are specialists in the field of deep tissue massage? If not, keep looking. Whatever you do, make sure you find the right place to go.
Treat yourself to a deep tissue massage. Don't slow down because your pain is overwhelming. Ditch the over the counter medications. Try it once, you'll never regret it. I know I needed the lack of pain, and the increased energy and brain power really helped out!
