Massage is an effective tool for pain relief. It is estimated that 90% of chronic pain is muscle related. The benefits of massage are many, including: improved range of motion, increased joint flexibility, relaxed and softened injured, tired, and overused muscles.
Deep tissue massage therapy is beneficial in releasing chronic muscle tension. The focus is on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons and fascia (the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones and joints). The goal is to release tight muscles, break up adhesions and increase blood flow and range of motion. This can resolve underlying problems that lead to chronic pain and stiffness. It differs from regular massage treatments in that it addresses deeper, more rooted issues in the muscles, and allows treatments to be more vigorous, successful and long-lasting.
A trigger point is a tender, tight area within muscle tissue that causes pain in other parts of the body. Trigger point massage therapy is specifically designed to alleviate the source of the pain through cycles of isolated pressure and release. Receiving massage with trigger point therapy on a regular basis can help naturally manage pain and stress from chronic injuries.
