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!
As I found out, 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.
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.
When I felt my energy surge, I thought I was imagining it. However, upon research I found out that due to the increase in blood flow, the overall well being of an individual is greater. It involves the increase in function of liver/kidneys. I found my local specialist, why don't you find yours?
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!
