Move Easier with Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is a range of manual processes that include administering fixed or moveable pressure, holding, or inducing movement to different body parts for the objective of facilitating certain tissues.
Massage treatment is usually done with the hands, although it can also be done with the arms or elbows. The muscular, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, lymphatic, neurological, and other components of the body are all affected by these procedures. Massage therapy is based on the idea of ‘vis medicatrix naturae’, which translates to “aiding the body’s ability to cure itself.”
Stripping is defined as a deep pressure method used in deep tissue massage therapy that runs along the course of your muscle fibers. Friction is another technique that breaks up adhesions and aligns tissue fibers by applying pressure throughout the grain of the muscle.
What are scar tissues?
Collagen fibers make up scar tissue. Collagen fibers are fibrous tissues that connect with a lower elastin content than muscle tissue. Collagen fibers are set down to assist the body mend after surgery or an accident. Scar tissue can cause adhesions and limits in the range of movement because collagen fibers are not as elastic as other tissue. Massage therapy treatments can aid in the breakdown of scar tissue, resulting in reduced pain, a greater range of motion, and less tissue restriction. Because scar tissue is sensitive, it’s best to wait a few weeks following surgery or an injury before treating it. Massage therapy has been found to soften scar tissue by freeing restrictive fibrous bands and increasing circulation.
How massage therapy can help break up scar tissue and make movement easier
People with scar tissue commonly complain of chronic muscle pain in certain locations.
Frequent deep tissue massages will help to break up scar tissue and increase flexibility and balance in the scar tissue area by enhancing lymphatic movement and drainage. Deep tissue massages are frequently recommended to persons recovering from surgery in order to reduce scar tissue.
Muscle injuries treatment
A deep tissue massage will assist you with tight or twisted muscles. It can also improve the passage of toxins releasing from your muscles if you have strained and injured muscles. Sports-related injuries are routinely treated with deep tissue massage treatments. Everyone from professional athletes to regular working professionals include deep tissue massage in their rehabilitation routines because it can help postpone muscle soreness, reduce muscular fatigue, and minimize the impact of injuries.
