subject: Deep Tissue Massage Remedy Hurts Faster [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.
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.
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).
Employment in the field of massage is growing. As people find out the benefits, more and more people are becoming qualified in this field. These self-employed therapists will usually possess their own equipment.
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.
What a great experience I had with deep tissue massage. I continue to go frequently, but the greatest reward is that I am out of pain. I am no longer adding toxins to my body in the form of over the counter pills over and over again. I also have more energy than before, and this was a pleasant surprise to me.
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.
Go and treat yourself to a deep tissue massage. Don't let pain slow down. Pain can be overwhelming. Forget about the over the counter medications. There is a time for them, but deep tissue pain cannot be helped by it. Try it once, you'll never regret it. Increased brain power as a side effect of pain relief? Can't beat that can you?
