subject: Deep Tissue Massage: Ease Muscle Spasms 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.
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).
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.
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?
Don't let chronic pain slow you down, and don't keep wasting money on the over the counter pain relief and have no relief! Do as I did. Treat yourself to a deep tissue massage. You will never regret the decision to go and have one. Increase in energy, improved brain power, and most of all, no pain.
