I am trained to practise therapeutic, deep tissue massage,Thai massage and pregnancy massage.
Massage can relax you and relieve emotional stress, alleviate soft tissue stiffness, aches and pains, reduce the likelihood of injury to soft tissue and help heal if an injury has occurred. Soft tissue consists of muscles and connective tissues.. The main connective tissue affected by massage is fascia that covers muscles, forms tendons and ligaments and covers bones and organs thus connecting the whole body.
Here is an example of how massage can help:
Incorrect posture can lead to pain in the back or stiffness, often the shoulders and neck. It is exacerbated by repetitive motions or immobility, tension from emotional stress, strenuous exercise, tiredness in general and incorrect breathing (which is shallow and faster, coming from the upper chest). Shallow breathing itself is often due to anxiety. Massage helps by loosening and lengthening tight, painful muscle, reducing or eliminating scar tissue (from micro tears from overwork and larger tears due to injury to the soft tissues) and softening fascia so freeing movement and improving posture. Other benefits of massage include allowing better blood flow to the muscles giving you more energy, freeing nerves and allowing deeper, slower breathing as you reach an almost meditative state due to relaxation because touch soothes nerves. indeed for that reason all massage is relaxing.
As we are continually pushing our bodies and old habits die hard, a regular massage is good for maintaining healthy muscles and a balanced outlook on life, as massage works on both the body and mind whatever your age, emotional health or ability. For people with learning difficulties the gentle touch of massage can be of particular benefit.
Massage during pregnancy can bring relaxation that can help relieve tiredness, lower back ache, cramp and restless leg syndrome.
Indeed almost anyone can have a massage as a good therapist will work with the individual, listening to feedback and adjusting methods to suit the situation. Sometimes medical consent is required and if it is needed the therapist will inform you.
The health benefits of massage are reinforced by good diet and exercise ; ) but never feel you are undeserving of a massage.
