Massage is no longer available
solely through luxury spas and upscale health clubs. Due to
the increase in demand at work, school and even your social life, massage
therapy is offered in business, clinics, hospitals and even airports. Massage is a technical term used for the
combination of the three elements: pressure, rubbing action, and manipulation
of your skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments.
These three elements are used in massage
differently; from light to deep in order to achieve total relief. Here are the
different types of massage stemming out of the combination of different levels
of pressure, rubbing action, and manipulation.
1. Craniosacral massage. Craniosacral
massage involves gentle manipulation of the bones of the skull. This involves
the alignment and balance of the craniosacral system that encompasses the
cranium, bones of the skull, fluid that surrounds the brain, and the spinal
cord down to the sacrum. The pressure in key areas activates the natural
healing of the body by moving the fluid within this system to remove
restriction and enhance natural balance.
2. Deep tissue massage. This type
goes deeper as it manipulates the underlying soft tissue of deep areas of the
muscle. The manipulation of the fascia is beneficial as the connective tissues
are being manipulated when traumatized, inflamed, and restricted. The release
of toxins, opening and balancing the fascia, and release of ligaments and
tendons are all taken into consideration when using this technique.
3. Life stream massage. This massage
includes the combination of Swedish, semi-deep tissue massage techniques, and
relaxation strokes. Life stream teaches effective use of biomechanics and
believes that deep tissue technique need not to be painful. This technique is
in demand at health spas where there can always be a full booking schedule.
4. Trigger point massage. This massage
therapy focuses on areas of tight muscle fibers that can form in your muscles
after injuries or overuse. This is a good way to solve problems such as
fibromyalgia, tension headaches, paresthesia, and nerve pains.
Beyond the benefits of the
specific massage therapies above, some people enjoy massage because it often
involves caring, comfort, and a sense of empowerment. Have a massage treatment
today and experience all these!
