The many benefits of massage have been documented extensively, but there is massage and then there is massage. People investigating deep tissue massage in Orem should consider what benefits such a massage has to offer. Of course, massage is known to help the body and the mind relax. However, a deep tissue massage implies that the masseuse will be penetrating into the muscle tissues and working in between the muscle tissue fibers. This is not something that can be accomplished by simply applying broad and gliding strokes over relaxed muscles and is far from relaxing. It also isn’t recommended for someone who is just a beginner massage recipient because of the amount of toxins that are released during such an aggressive and rather lengthy procedure. What Is Deep Tissue Massage? There are many who will argue that the techniques used in a true deep tissue massage aren't really massage at all but rather a treatment that more resembles physical therapy, since the recipient doesn't get to relax until the treatment is complete. To be specific, deep tissue massage is a very specific kind of therapy that focuses on the deep layers of muscles and fascia in the body and often recommended by doctors as an option to treat a variety of physical ailments. The process utilizes deep finger and elbow pressure in slow, firm strokes in order to reach ailing areas and get them to release tightness. This is also why it’s only recommended for people who are comfortable with a far more intense “touch,” though it can also include gentle and sustained pressure that targets the body’s myofascia. Reduces Chronic Pain Deep tissue massage can lessen pain and in fact, a University of Maryland Medical Center study shows that it’s more effective in relieving chronic pain than most conventional therapies and medications, especially in its use to rehabilitate sports injuries. This seems to be due to the increase in blood flow throughout the body, which in turn reduces the inflammation that causes pain in the first place. Since it also facilitates the movement of toxins from the muscles, it can help to promote the healing process. By loosening tight tissue clusters, it can also alleviate the muscle tension and cramps that are often side effects of chronic pain and help in stretching tight muscle mass. Breaks Up Scar Tissue Since scar tissue forms when an area of the body is injured, deep tissue massage can make movement easier by breaking up the scar tissue—often associated with ongoing pain and stiffness—that results in the healing process. These scars often occur deeper in the body when you damage muscles, tendons, or ligaments and it’s the type of scarring that deep tissue massage can be most effective in resolving by promoting a greater range of motion and making it easier to move. Over an extended period of time, deep-tissue massage will break up and erase scar tissue in the body by improving the body’s circulation. Before considering deep tissue massage in Orem, be sure you understand the benefits of such treatments.
