DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

Are you experiencing stress, muscle soreness, or pain? Do you feel like your body is a giant knot of tense muscles? Deep tissue massage therapy might be the solution to your problems.

Massage is still widely accepted as both a tool for relaxation and stress relief and also to alleviate pain, treat arthritis, fatigue, high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression, among other conditions. Deep tissue massage is one advanced massage technique to address certain issues.

Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage

Reduces Stress, Anxiety, and Muscle Tension

Chronic stress and muscle tension cause inflammation, which can worsen your overall health. A deep tissue massage is a solution to all the stress life throws at you. Deep tissue massage benefits fall into both the physical and mental wellbeing camps. A massage also increases the production of oxytocin. This hormone is more or less your bonding hormone. It influences your social interactions and creates positive emotions. You’ve probably heard how endorphins make you happy, and that’s exactly what this massage does.

Labor Pains Will Be a Breeze

Pregnancy is a glorious thing, but being in excruciating pain is not. Good news ladies! Getting a massage lowers anxiety. Women who received a massage before or during labor experience a decrease in depression, anxiety, and back pain. There’s a chance the message will lower your labor time and the amount of medication you need. The goal is to have a safe and healthy pregnancy all around.

Aids sleep

As well as helping you sleep better due to pain relief, a deep tissue massage can have a soporific effect later on due to the natural injection of serotonin your body receives.

SHOULDER, NECK, AND BACK MASSAGE

In our daily routines, we are subconsciously putting stress on our bodies. Parents often get neck and shoulder pain from carrying their babies. Mothers in the postpartum stage are especially vulnerable to injuries because hormonal changes in pregnancy have left the ligaments and joints looser. This repetitive strain injury is likely to get worse and can lead to a slumped posture, putting more tension on the neck, shoulders, and back.

Applying pressure on the muscles around your neck and shoulders helps to reduce muscular tension and ease day-to-day stress. Massage therapy can do more than just relaxation.

SWEDISH MASSAGE

What’s the Difference Between Swedish Massage and Deep Tissue Massage?

Swedish massage is one of the most commonly offered massage techniques. It’s sometimes called a classic massage. The technique aims to promote relaxation by releasing muscle tension. Swedish massage is gentler than deep tissue massage and better suited for people interested in relaxation and tension relief.

Deep tissue massage uses many of the same stroking and kneading movements as Swedish massage, but there’s far more pressure. This pressure can sometimes be painful.

In order to reach the deep muscle tissue, a therapist will massage layer by layer of muscle, applying more and more pressure and employing special techniques with the fingers, fists, and maybe even elbows to reach and stretch that deep tissue.

Benefits of Swedish Massage

Swedish massage therapy is the most well-known and widely practiced type of therapeutic massage—and for good reason. This type of massage focuses on muscle relaxation, targeting superficial muscles (rather than the connective tissues targeted in deep-tissue massage) and increasing blood circulation.

Rehabilitation for muscle injuries.

HOT STONE MASSAGE

Eden Therapy Clinic in the wintertime recommends this therapy. The hot stone massage is a natural therapy in which warmed stones are positioned on parts of the client's body to maximize the therapeutic benefit. The stones used are typically river rocks or other very smooth-surfaced stones made of basalt. These stones are heated in sanitizing water before use. The high iron content in basalt helps the stones retain heat during the massage. Hot stone massages are beneficial on both physical and psychological levels.

Some additional tips on making the most out of your message

Don't eat a heavy meal before the massage.
Let your therapist know if the stones are too warm or the pressure is too intense.
If it's your first time at the clinic or spa, arrive at least 10 minutes early to complete the necessary forms.

Otherwise, arrive 5 minutes early so you can have a few minutes to rest and relax before starting the massage. Always check with your doctor before getting a hot stone massage; individuals with certain conditions--including pregnant women and people with high blood pressure--are advised to avoid this type of therapy.
