What is Deep tissue massage ?
A deep tissue massage focuses on muscle and fascia tissues at a more specific level. The main characteristic of this type of massage is that the pressure applied is greater than in a relaxing massage and, in addition, it must be done in the direction of the muscle fibers to be more effective. However, in those areas where it is convenient, transversal friction can also be performed.
Signs to know when you need a massage :-
If you have certain discomforts or abnormalities, you will realise that your body is not working as it should. The most important thing is that you learn to interpret these signals and give your body what it is asking for at all times .
(i) Muscle pain :
If you feel a burning sensation in a muscle in your back or neck due to various pathologies or cases of physical overexertion, it is not a good sign. It is the ideal time for a massage to apply pressure to those muscles and relieve the pain.
(ii) Headache :
If the muscles around your shoulders, back and head are tense, they can cause a constant headache that can’t be relieved even with medicine. A regular maintenance massage can relieve this discomfort and help improve your posture daily. You may even benefit from a facial massage to relieve the pressure.
(iii) Little range of motion :
If you notice that you have little or no range of motion, you cannot move your head or neck, or you cannot lift your arms.
In this situation, one of the solutions is a Deep tissue Swedish relaxation massage therapy Norfolk, Cambridgeshire.
(iv) Suffer from insomnia :
If you can’t fall asleep even though you need to, you should know that it is a very common factor in people who suffer from daily stress. The idea is to disconnect the body and mind so that the nervous system relaxes, circulation increases and all the tension and accumulated stress is expelled, and all this through a good massage.
(v) Night cramps :
There are many reasons why night cramps can occur. The root cause of the problem is still unknown, but there are indications that certain drugs can cause them to become worse.
To try to improve this problem, it is ideal to get a massage, as it is stimulating and activating and helps prevent and combat it. This happens because the muscles move at the moment of friction and what we call muscle distension occurs.
(vi) Backache :
Nearly 80% of the population struggles with back pain that turns into burning and tingling, which increases when sitting for long hours or working out at the gym.
The good news for you is that pain can be reduced or completely eliminated with a good massage, which in turn offers a low-risk solution for relief by stimulating the body’s ability to heal itself.
(vii) Continuous fatigue :
If you are on your feet all day for work or any other activity, or if you are experiencing hormonal changes, it is normal for your legs to feel tense and that causes pain. A good massage can eliminate the feeling of tiredness and heaviness in the limbs by giving movement to the joints, relaxing muscular tension and producing a sedative effect on the nervous system.
Benefits of deep massage :-
A deep massage can help us improve our general health. Its benefits can be numerous :-
(i) Helps relieve tension.
(ii) Eliminates muscle pain.
(iii) It increases venous return, thus improving blood circulation.
(iv) Promotes the elimination of waste elements.
(v) Improves contractility at the muscular level.
Deep tissue massage does not require any specific preparation and, after performing it, you only have to follow these recommendations :-
(a) Do not perform physical activities that involve the area where the massage has been focused.
(b) Drink plenty of water to eliminate all the waste substances that have been generated.
(c) Perform gentle stretches.
(d) Take hot baths.
(e) All of this will help the deep massage to be more effective and have a faster recovery.
In short, massages provide many health benefits and are one of the treatments you should incorporate into your daily life to improve your quality of life. If you have any of the signs explained above, don’t make your body suffer any more and go ahead and get a good massage.
