Massage Therapy Q & A
What health benefits can I gain from massage therapy?
You already know that massage therapy is great for relieving stress and relaxing tight muscles. But many people don’t know that medical professionals often recommend massage because it has such therapeutic value.
Massage uses pressure and manipulation to:
- Relieve pain
- Reduce inflammation
- Improve movement
- Reduce your heart rate
- Lower your blood pressure
- Increase blood and lymph circulation
Increasing your circulation has an important impact on your health. As your blood flow increases, your tissues get an influx of oxygen, nutrients, and healing cells, such as stem cells. At the same time, increasing lymph circulation means that your body carries more waste and toxins away.
When should I schedule a massage?
You can contact Tula Physical Therapy & Wellness and schedule a massage anytime you need to destress, or you need relief from stiff, painful muscles.
If you need a therapeutic massage to relieve chronic pain, recover from an injury, or restore mobility, your provider at Tula Physical Therapy & Wellness recommends a treatment schedule for optimal results.
The team at Tula Physical Therapy & Wellness recommends therapy as part of your integrative treatment for problems such as:
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Shoulder pain
- Joint pain
- Headaches
- Arthritis
- Fibromyalgia
- Myofascial pain
- Muscle, ligament, and tendon injuries
Massage produces beneficial physiological changes in your body. For example, stress hormones go down, and your immune system gets a boost. Additionally, massage triggers your brain to release endorphins, which naturally relieve your pain.
What type of massage might I receive?
The massage therapists at Tula Physical Therapy & Wellness have extensive training and years of experience in a broad range of massage techniques. These are a few examples of different styles:
Sports massage
A sports massage helps you recover from intense activities and prevent injuries during the game. This type of massage typically uses a strong, penetrating technique designed to release adhesions, relieve muscle soreness, and accelerate healing.
Joint massage
Many massage techniques promote joint motion and relieve pain by targeting the ligaments, tendons, and muscles that support the joints.
Swedish massage
Swedish massage uses classic kneading motions and circular pressure to reduce your stress, relax muscles, and increase blood flow.
Trigger point massage
If you have a knotted muscle, trigger point massage uses concentrated pressure to relax the muscle.
