Why do I need massage therapy?

Swedish massage employs basic movements that can be slow and gentle, vigorous or bracing depending on the desired results. Normally, it is a very slow and relaxing type of massage. Deep tissue massage is designed for those who have specific muscle problems. The aim is to affect the various layers of fascia that support muscle tissues and loosen bonds between the layers of connective tissue. The goal of deep tissue massage is also to lengthen and dissolve the knots acquired by everyday stress and tension. Neuromuscular therapy uses static pressure on specific trigger points and helps to interrupt self-perpetuating pain/tension cycle and allows the body to begin healing.

Most every American is under some type of stress and most people have a very hard time relaxing. Massage is a great way to learn how to relax and give the receiver a clear and open mind in order to be able to work and play more efficiently. Massage provides gentle stretching of the muscle tissues and can greatly reduce the presence of scar tissue that could have accumulated by surgery or tearing of the muscles in accidents. Work and home life pressures build up in the muscular system of the body and cause knots to build up within the muscle tissue. Massage can aid in disintegrating and destroying these knots. Besides activating and increasing the blood and lymphatic flow, it also activates the immune system and aids you in the self-healing process.
