So, I'm at my local nail salon (I love the French manicure) without my children for a change, when I am complaining about my back. It always hurts. I have tried many over the counter medications, over and over again, but to no avail. Now, I was talking privately to my friend, but some random buttinsky piped up try a deep tissue massage". Apparently, I was speaking too loudly, and now my ailment is out in public. I, unfortunately, was desperate. I had to enquire further. I have had massages, they haven't helped. However, Miss B. was extremely impressed with the local masseuse, and for all I knew, was working on a referral basis! Anyway, when all was said and done, I was ready to head off for a deep tissue massage.
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.
A deep tissue masseuse will use tools of ceramic, glass and wood. He/she will also use elbows and fingers, as well as hands and arms. A classical masseuse (such as one who performs a Swedish massage) will use just hands and arms. Most massage therapist are qualified in some sort of deep tissue massage, but there are also true specialists(the one I visited was a specialist).
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.
A typical commercial massage table has an easily cleaned, heavily padded surface, and a horseshoe-shaped head support that allows the client to breathe easily while lying face down and can be stationary or portable. This is cleaned between massages, keeping everything very hygienic. An orthopedic pillow or bolster can be used to correct body positioning. Sometimes, mats are used.
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!
