The Benefits of Massage
proven to increase circulation
Proper circulation allows the distribution of blood, oxygen and white blood cells throughout the body.
proven to increase lymphatic flow and aid in edema recovery
The lymphatic system is considered to be a part of the immune system and it transports the fluid (lymph) throughout the body. Lymph carries very important cells (white blood cells) that help to fight off infection. The lymphatic system also helps to detox the body by filtering out toxins and other waste products.
can help with anxiety, depression and stress
Some studies have shown that massage can help to decrease levels of cortisol (a stress hormone) and increase levels of endorphins (feel good hormones) and neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin which have all been shown to increase mood.
can help to decrease muscle tension
Massage can help to decrease muscle tension and improve the elasticity and pliability of muscle and fascial tissue (connective tissue surrounding/ supporting muscles and organs). This in turn can help to improve mobility restrictions, restore proper function of the myofascia (muscle/ fascial tissue) and aid in decreasing pain and disfunction.
Can help to decrease levels of pain
Adhesions and other restrictions in the tissue can impinge upon nerves and reduce joint mobility, which can all lead to pain. Certain techniques commonly utilized by Medical/ Sport based Massage Therapists such as: Neuromuscular Therapy (Trigger Point Therapy), Myofascial Release, Muscle Energy Techniques, Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation, Corrective Stretching and Pumping have been shown be very effective in the treatment of pain and dysfunction. Combine that with the aforementioned increased circulation, lymphatic flow, decreased cortisol levels, increased feel good endorphins and neurotransmitters and you have a hearty recipe for pain relief.
What is neuromuscular therapy?
Neuro- (nerve) Muscular- (muscle) Therapy (NMT) or Trigger Point Therapy is a series of clinical techniques...Read more/less
...based upon Janet Travell and David Simons work. NMT is designed to treat and release trigger points, restricted fascia (connective tissue), entrapped nerves and relieve pain and disfunction. Travell estimated that up to 90% or more of pain associated complaints may be trigger point related.
What is a trigger point?
A trigger point is generally defined as a hyper- irritable nodule or taut band within a muscle that tends to refer pain...Read more/less
...or sensation to other areas of the body. The classic, "knot in the muscle" is probably a trigger point. Trigger points tend to refer along the acupuncture channels or meridians, indicating a direct correlation between trigger point formation and disfunction within a specific acupuncture channel.
What is Osteo-articular pumping?
Osteo- (bone) Articular (joint) Pumping (moving fluid) is a gentle osteopathic technique that works on soft tissues...Read more/less
...such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, bursae and synovial membranes. The therapist maintains (pumps) fluid along a certain gradient by utilizing muscle contraction and at first, blocking and then following the natural movement of the joint.
Adhesions in restricted fascia and muscle tissue, which can decrease the natural range of motion of the joint, are usually synonymous with areas of chronic pain and inflammation, marked by reduced circulation of blood and lymph, which slows or in some cases, halts the healing process. Pumping fluid into these areas can aid healing, reduce pain levels and the associated inflammation and restore normal range of motion back to the joint. It is not an adjustment or a joint manipulation.
What is Myofascial Stretching and Release?
Myo- (muscle) Fascial- (connective tissue) Release and Stretching are gentle hands on techniques that work by...Read more/less
...applying steady, prolonged pressure or Creep, to release any restrictions in the muscle and fascia that may be impairing range of motion or causing pain and disfunction.
Fascia, a connective tissue found throughout the body, is designed for supporting muscles, organs and glands. It is the link between muscles, promoting communication (along with the nervous system), fluid exchange, protection, stability etc. The Acupuncture Meridians are thought to run through certain fluid channels in the fascia. As many sources say, healthy fascia equals a healthy person.
Why is Nutrition and Lifestyle Advice Pertinent to My Pain Therapy and Rehab Program?
As you probably know, everything in your body is made up of cells; these cells require a constant supply of hydration...Read more/less
...and nutrients to properly maintain homeostasis in the body. Therefore, everything that is you, such as: your hair, skin, nails, organs, muscles, fascia, bones, tendons, ligaments Etc., is constructed from the foods that you eat and the amount of water that you drink.
In other words, if you aren't getting the proper nutrition that your body demands, your hair, skin, nails, organs, muscles, fascia, bones, tendons and ligaments will all be deficient and compromised and you will most likely have inflammation in these areas. Inflammation is a precursor to pain and dis-ease.
On top of that, certain foods can be inflammatory, exacerbating and in some cases, causing pain and inflammation. In our program, we will be discussing different changes you can make to avoid any excess inflammation in your body.
