Treat Muscle Knots With Sports Massage

Sports massage involves the manipulation of the soft muscle tissue to improve knots or injuries caused by active engagement in sports. Unlike deep tissue massage, a sports massage therapist uses more specified and broader medical knowledge and techniques to manipulate the muscles safely and efficiently.

Muscles can produce lactic acid in larger quantities, which may solidify to form knots. The techniques used in sports massage helps to drain the lactic acid and other waste products from the body. This, in turn, helps to alleviate knots and speed up recovery of muscles. Knots hinder the flexibility of muscles, which may lead to poor performance in various sporting activities.

Deep Tissue Massage vs. Swedish Massage
There are different massage techniques, but deep tissue massage and Swedish massage are the two most popular techniques used to provide relief and relaxation to the body. Despite the similarities, there are differences in the application and effect of these massage techniques.

Swedish massage is a lighter, more relaxing form of massage. It is designed to relax the entire body and provide relief from stress and tension. A Swedish massage typically targets the superficial layers of muscle and connective tissues using light to medium-pressure techniques such as long strokes, kneading, friction, and tapping to promote relaxation and improve circulation.

Deep tissue massage, on the other hand, is a more intense form of massage. It uses deep, slow strokes and much pressure to focus on the deeper layers of muscle and fascia. Typically recommended for people with chronic muscle tension or pain, deep tissue massage is often used to treat specific areas of the body, such as the neck, shoulders, back, and hips.

Swedish massage is more suitable for relaxation and relief from stress, but to address pains in muscles, you will need an intense massage, that is where deep tissue massage comes in.

What's The Purpose Of Deep Tissue Massage?
The purpose of deep tissue massage is to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas.

Massage is great at any time of year; however, it can be extremely beneficial during the colder months. Here are some reasons why you should book in a regular massage:

Boost Your Immune System with Massage
Massage increases lymph flow which fights off infections and bacteria, boosting your immune system during the cold and flu season!

Increased Circulation
Lower temperatures cause the blood vessels to constrict, decreasing blood circulation and increasing blood pressure.

Help with Joint Mobility and Stiffness
The colder weather can cause discomfort, aches, pains and arthritis. Regular massage enhances blood flow, naturally lowering blood pressure, increasing body temperature, and improving body function.

Keep away the Winter Blues
Massage helps boost serotonin levels in the body. The shorter days, cold weather and limited Vitamin D can leave you feeling low. Massage can relieve stress and assist with anxiety and depression.

Improve Skin Health and help prevent dehydration
Dry winter air, blustery wind, and the blazing heater can dry your skin quickly. Massage therapy is proven to improve skin hydration during these dry winter months.

Not only do our oils and lotions help, but massage assists in stimulating collagen production in the skin. This can stop in for getting dry and cracking.

Help Keep Those Winter pounds Off
Massage, not only Improves Circulation, it also Boosts your Metabolism!

A good massage can really get your blood circulation going. By aiding the flow of blood throughout your body, nutrient supply is maintained at optimal levels and tissue metabolism proceeds at a healthy pace.

It is important we take care of our bodies like we take care of any other machine we own. Call and schedule an appointment today with one of our many professionals. We accept many different kinds of health insurance.

Can Massage Help With Seasonal Depression?

Do you or someone you know get the wintertime “blues”? Less sunlight in the winter, coupled with more time indoors, can trigger what is known as “Seasonal Affective Disorder” in many people. SAD can prove to be a serious form of depression and reduce the quality of life for those with the disorder.

One of the many therapies that can help SAD is massage. A recent article from the American Massage Therapy Association catalogs several proven ways in which massage therapy can counteract physiological mood factors that often accompany SAD. According to the AMTA, massage can:

Reduce anxiety and depression with a course of care providing benefits similar in magnitude to those of psychotherapy.
Increase neurotransmitters associated with lowering anxiety and decrease hormones associated with increasing anxiety.

Significantly decrease heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure. Call and schedule an appointment today with one of our many professionals. We accept many different kinds of health insurance.

Fall Into An Autumn Massage

As the leaves begin to turn and the air becomes crisp, there's a certain magic in the autumn season. It's a time for cozy sweaters, pumpkin-spiced everything, and the perfect opportunity to indulge in a rejuvenating massage. While massages are a year-round treat, there are unique reasons why getting a massage in the fall can be especially beneficial for your body and mind.

1. Fall Stress Relief

With the return to routine and the hustle and bustle of back-to-school and work, fall can bring its fair share of stress. A massage is an excellent way to unwind and release tension that may have built up during the summer. As the therapist's skilled hands work their magic, you'll feel the stress melt away, leaving you with a sense of calm and relaxation.

2. Boost Your Immunity

As the temperature drops, the risk of catching a cold or flu tends to increase. A massage can help boost your immune system by improving circulation and lymphatic flow. This can help your body rid itself of toxins and better prepare to ward off illnesses that tend to circulate in the cooler months.

3. Relieve Seasonal Aches and Pains

Fall often means more time spent outdoors, whether it's hiking to admire the fall foliage or raking leaves in your yard. These activities can lead to sore muscles and joints. A massage can provide relief from these aches and pains, helping you stay active and enjoy all that autumn has to offer.

How can massage therapy help relieve depression?
When your muscles and connective tissues become stiff or rigid, it can cause pain and limit your movement. Massage therapy can help relieve this tension in your muscles and connective tissues. It also increases your blood flow and promotes relaxation.

If you have depression, massage therapy probably won’t cure your condition. But it may help relieve the physical symptoms associated with it. For example, massage may help alleviate sluggishness, back pain, joint pain, and muscle aches. It can also help relieve fatigue and sleeping problems.

When performed by a Lenox Hill trained professional, massage therapy is generally safe for most people. You’ll find that it provides immediate gratification. You may feel relaxed and calm from the time your massage begins. You can combine it with more conventional treatment for depression, such as medication and psychotherapy.

Benefits Of Postpartum Massage

While the definition of postpartum massage may not seem special, receiving one can benefit your mood and speed up healing.

Postpartum massages usually include many of the same elements as regular massages. Women who get a massage after giving birth will likely notice numerous benefits to their body and mood associated with massage.

If you have had a cesarean delivery, talk to both your doctor and massage therapist to be sure it is safe. Some massage therapists will not work on people who have had surgery in the last 6 weeks.

If you’ve had blood clots in your pregnancy or previously, your doctor will likely have already recommended you avoid massage. Check with your doctor when it is safe to resume massage.

Some general benefits of massage include:

pain relief
stress reduction
relaxation

Here are some massage therapy benefits for diabetics:

Increased blood flow and circulation: Massage allows for efficient transport of oxygen and nutrients to the rest of the body. This improved circulation can help your cells absorb insulin and actually retain it. With the arterial damage and circulatory effects of diabetes, especially in the extremities, this is one of the most important benefits of massage for diabetics.

Increased range of motion: Sudden increases and decreases of blood sugar levels can provide an uncomfortable strain on your body, causing the connective tissue to thicken. Muscles, tendons and ligaments can become stiff and cause a decrease in your overall range of motion. Massage therapy is a great solution to improve the flexibility of your tissue and joints, bringing you back to a comfortable physical and flexible state.

Stress-relief: Diabetes can trigger physical and mental stress as you try to navigate your treatment plan. Changing your diet, constantly monitoring your blood sugar, making sure you get enough exercise, and trying to explain these changes to family and friends can cause your mental health can also suffer. When you feel frustrated and overwhelmed, turning to massage can help you put your mind at ease. A stress-relief massage gives you a dedicated window of time to focus entirely on yourself, being present, and loving your body.

How Deep Tissue Massage Lowers High Blood Pressure

One of the many benefits of deep tissue massages is that it can help lower your blood pressure. Studies show that the pressure applied during deep tissue massages has a positive effect on systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial blood pressure.

As this type of massage relieves tension in your back and neck, it also helps to lower cortisol levels and boost the oxytocin hormone, making your body relax leading to a reduction in stress levels. Though the immediate pressure can be somewhat discomforting, it will ultimately result in tension and stress relief.

It is a known fact that massage improves circulation and blood flow. What most people don’t know is that one of the greatest benefits of deep tissue massage therapy is that it can positively affect hypertension or high blood pressure. We are not just talking about a temporary change in blood pressure while receiving a massage.

How can Massages Help Desk Workers?
Adding a massage appointment to your schedule effectively tackles the potential issues linked with a desk job and ensures that you can earn a living without compromising your health. If you’re wondering how that’s possible, here are a few ways massage therapy can strike out the harsh effects of a desk job:

Improves Your Posture
Sitting at a desk for elongated periods can ruin your posture. Without even realizing it, you may start slouching, sitting with one leg under you, or leaning to one side. All these are the quickest ways to acquire a depleted posture.

However, a massage can help you regain proper posture by targeting the affected muscles and eliminating your spinal curve. An intense tissue massage for your back can ease the tension trapped in your muscles. This makes it easier for you to sit up straight without encountering any pain.

Making this a part of your routine can improve your physical and mental well-being and prevent your work life from becoming overwhelming or resulting in burnout due to stress.

Enhances Productivity
Productivity in the workplace is essential, but if your mind and body are tense or stressed, your productivity may start to decline.

A rejuvenating massage is an excellent way to relax the body and, hence, relax your mind. Your productivity will surely increase with your two most important assets more relaxed and rested.

Better Sleep
One of the after-effects of a massage includes increased dopamine and serotonin levels that encourage a more restful and soothing sleep.

Whether you’re staying up at night due to pain, anxiety, or stress, a massage can eliminate several conditions like these that are standing between you and your sleep.

A report on the aftermath of Swedish massages on the endocrine response of individuals narrates that just after a 45-minute session, they experienced a surge in their lymphocytes and white blood cells that are core components of your immune system, fighting off its contaminants.
