The Secret Benefits of Massage

Massage can prevent or relieve soft tissue dysfunction. Even minor injuries can hamper our ability to stay active and interfere with our day to day lives. Tired and sore muscles can alter our body’s posture and movement patterns which if ignored can lead to chronic pain, stiffening of joints and discomfort. 

Massage can:-

     Prevent injury 
     Maintain flexibility 
     Increases range of movement 
     Reduce healing time
     Alleviate pain 
     Aid relaxation 

How hard/firm should the massage be?
Ultimately the pressure used in your massage is guided by you. The more feedback you can give your therapist on how it feels (too hard, too soft) the better your massage will be for you. How firm or deep you want a massage differs from day to day, the body area massaged and how you feel generally within yourself that day. You are the only one who knows how it feels. 

Deep tissue work / neuromuscular therapy (NMT) can involve short periods of therapeutic pain. Sometimes called a “good hurt” or “good pain” but this lasts momentarily and should dissipate quickly. This type of treatment usually involves working on a “muscle knot” or a sore point.
