In the massage world, there is probably something
you are not aware of and that is… relaxation massage and therapeutic massage
are actually different to a certain extent. It is important that you are
well-informed about what you need depending on your body’s physical condition.
What is relaxation massage? Common sense will tell
you that this is a massage aimed for your body’s total relaxation. This means
everything from the cotton robes, the massage bed to the ambiance just shouts
“relax.” Your common sense got this right.
So, what about therapeutic massage? Isn’t it for
relaxation too? This massage does relax the body, but it is not its ultimate
goal. Rather, the aim of this massage is to guide the body to healing and detoxification.
Therapists have a deep understanding of the human physical body and know how
the body works. Thus, after a session, the body’s physical condition is
improved.
Nowadays, most people won’t know the difference and
most people will simply go for the relaxation massage because… they want to
feel relaxed. However, people who are looking to ease their muscle tension or
aching bodies shouldn’t go for a relaxation massage.
Therapeutic massage is common in active people,
like athletes or those who regularly exercise. Their muscles grew tired and
they need a massage that will actually dip deep into their trigger points to
relieve the pressure of the muscles. Further, it works on deep muscle tissue
and soft tissue. This is something a relaxation massage can’t do.
In addition, therapeutic massage restores
homeostasis of the body, meaning, it helps the body regain its natural balance
to promote self-healing. This is the first step to healing strains, stress and
recovering from muscle injuries.
The next time you visit a massage center, think of these
two different massages and know what you need. It will be a shame when you’re
paying for a relaxation massage when your body really needs the therapeutic
one.
Picking between the two is actually simple. If you
just want to get pampered and feel relaxed, go for relaxation massage. Now if
you’re experiencing muscle tension, aches and pains, go for therapeutic.
Nevertheless, the secret to getting the body
relaxed is to go to a reputable massage center that only employs qualified and
certified massage therapists. This way, you can make sure that the therapists
know how to work your body the way you want them to.
