Massage therapy has become a very important part of general healthcare for many people living in today’s stressful world. Traditional healthcare systems around the world now recognize that therapeutic massage can play an extremely important role in treating illness or chronic ailments, and contributing to a higher sense of general well being.
There are many different types of massage. Most professionals use a combination of these different techniques to customize their service to fit your needs. Some of the more popular massage services are listed below.
Deep Tissue Massage (Therapeutic)
Deep Tissue Massage is a massage technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the fibers of the muscles and tendons.
Deep tissue massage usually focuses on more specific areas and may cause some soreness during or right after the massage. However, you should feel better than ever within a day or two.
Swedish Massage
The main purpose of Swedish massage is to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles. It increases circulation without increasing heart load. It stretches the ligaments and tendons keeping them supple and pliable.
Swedish Massage also stimulates the skin and nervous system and soothes the nerves themselves at the same time. It reduces stress, both emotional and physical, and is suggested in a regular program for stress management.
