This too was my question when I found myself taking over the counter pain medications, one after the other, after the other. Nothing seemed to get through to the pain deep within my back. I would stand in the shower, the hot water prickling my back, waiting for relief which never came. One day, while in a nail salon, someone mentioned massage. Upon further inquiry, I found out she was talking about deep tissue massage. There is a huge difference!
Upon research, I found out that deep tissue problems can cause long-term pain which may be eliminated by massage. There is a specialty type massage that can help with these problems. Muscle tissue can become tight and cause aches and pains. This can be very hard to get rid of, and can get only temporary pain relief from medications.
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 when administering a massage.
As more people learn about the benefits of deep tissue massage therapy, employment is growing in this field. As independent contractors, massage therapists usually have their own equipment which consists of special massage tables and chairs are used to position clients during massages.
Commercially designed tables intended for massage have heavily padded surfaces which is easy to clean. There is a horseshoe-shaped head support so the recipient can breathe with ease while lying face down. These tables can be easily cleaned and remain hygienic. Pillows and mats are also used to keep people in the most appropriate position.
My experience with deep tissue massage was very positive. I am out of pain, and don't have to keep taking over the counter medications which rarely worked. They barely alleviated the pain, never relieved it. I found out that I have a lot of energy. I will continue to go for deep tissue massages and eventually, I hope my pain will be a thing of the past.
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!
