People need to work and this
causes humans to push their bodies to the limits every day. With people just
working and working, the body will reach a point where its muscles can no
longer take it. Thus, making the body sore, stressed and weak.
Today, everyone can take a break
through having a body massage to soothe aching muscles or just simply feel a
brief moment of relaxation. Massage salons offer different types of massage
therapy, with each one catering to a specific need of the body. Here are the
most common massage techniques a massage parlor offers:
·
Shiatsu Massage- Shiatsu massage
is a Japanese form of massage therapy, said to be similar to the Chinese
acupressure. Shiatsu massage focuses on pressure points as well as including
stretching and breathing for a more balanced body. Shiatsu benefits the
physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of a person.
·
Swedish Massage- Swedish
massage is probably the most famous type of body massage out there. It uses
tapping, kneading and soothing strokes to ease the body of muscle tension and
sore joints. The different strokes under this massage therapy includes
stroking, lightly grabbing and lifting the muscle, chopping, beating, fingers
working in deep circles and shaking.
·
Deep Tissue Massage- Deep
Tissue massage is best for people with chronic muscle tension deep below the
muscles. While the Swedish massage is beneficial for the first layers of the
muscles, deep tissue body massage goes further underneath. This type of massage
techniques uses direct pressure, friction movements and slow strokes. Usually,
fingers, thumbs and elbows are used here.
·
Sports Massage- Sports massage
is best for people who play sports. You don’t need to be an athlete though, as
long as you play sports, this massage technique can help with your sore
muscles. The technique used here is similar to Swedish and Deep Tissue but
sports massage is more focused on warming up the muscles and improving blood
circulation. Further, sports massage can help relax and energize the athlete
before competition and help in the recovery after a competition.
·
Neuromuscular Massage- This is a
type of deep tissue massage that focuses on increasing blood flow, releasing
pressure on nerves and reducing nerve pain. Neuromuscular massage helps in
releasing tight and tense muscles those results in headaches and other body
pains.
Massage therapy is really helpful
in a number of ways, and if you haven’t given it a try, it’s time that you
should. Your body deserves a break and what better way to treat your body to a relaxing
rendezvous than a body massage.
