At the Pain Relief Massage Clinic here on the Gold Coast, sometimes we need to treat this small muscle called pectoralis minor. Clients with pectoralis minor problem tend to show the symptom of pain in front of the shoulder. If this muscle is shortened, tightened and contracted, it can also cause neurovascular symptoms by entrapment of the neurovascular bundle to the arm.

As this muscle is relatively small and located underneath the thick pectoralis major muscle, it’s often hard to find and treat it. It is easy to find and treat it if the client is very skinny. But if the client’s pectoralis major is very thick and tight, or if the client’s muscles are covered by thick fat layer, it is almost impossible to locate this small muscle. We just have to do our best.

We would like people to know that even what we call Deep tissue massage is unable to access and treat deep tissue if muscles are covered and protected by thick different type of tissue.

The pectoralis minor is found underneath the larger pectoralis major. The muscle has a flat shape and is quite thin, particularly when compared to the other pectoral muscle and is one of the smallest muscles in the chest.

The muscle is connected to the third, fourth and fifth ribs, where it also originates, and stretches to the hook-like coracoid process of the scapula, also known as the shoulder blade. The muscle is identical on both sides of the ribcage and in both cases the origins of the pectoralis minor are the lateral costal cartilages.

The pectoralis minor has the function of pulling the scapula (shoulder blade) forward, downward and inward. Stabilizing the scapula can be achieved by depression of the shoulder by this small muscle. This muscle also works as an accessory respiratory muscle during forced inspiration. During strong inhalation by upper chest, the pectoralis minor is activated.

The muscle’s actions can be quite varied, depending on the situation and how other elements and muscles in the body are functioning. For example, when contracted, the pectoralis minor muscle can pull the shoulder blade down and forward on the ribcage. In case the shoulder is held rigid by other muscles groups (like the levator scapula or trapezius muscle for example) contracting the pectoralis minor muscle will lead to an elevation of the ribcage.

Tension in this complex muscle can have a series of complications and consequences. For example, the winging of the scapula can occur when there is chronic tension in the pectoralis muscle. The winging of the scapula means that the medial border and inferior angle of the scapula are lifted away from the ribs and it is easily visible on the outer shape of the body.

Another repercussion of pectoralis minor pressure can be neurogenic pain and even numbness in the hand, fingers and forearm. This happens when the tension in the muscle compresses the nerves of the brachial plexus which are found in the general shoulder area. Tension in this muscle can also affect the blood flow to the forearm. This happens due to the compression of the axillary artery. Trigger points in the pectoralis minor muscle can also lead to thoracic outlet syndrome.

When it comes to trigger points in the pectoralis minor muscle, there is just one major one, however, if activity is intense in said trigger point, a second one can appear in the area where the muscle attaches to the coracoid process. The second trigger point can easily be resolved once the first trigger point is treated and no longer produces discomfort.

Pain in the pectoralis minor muscle is generally felt in the anterior shoulder part and in some rarer occasions it can be felt across the chest. It is also quite often that pectoralis minor muscle pain can radiate to the upper part of the arm, the elbow, the forearm, the palm as well as the pinkie, ring and middle fingers.

The way the pain radiates from the pectoralis minor muscle is similar to the way trigger points cause pain in the clavicular division of the pectoralis major.

Regarding the symptoms of a trigger point in the pectoralis minor muscle, the following may be the most frequent:

Pain felt in the shoulder region which often radiates to the chest while also radiating down the arm towards the pinkie, ring and middle fingers. Pain felt in the muscle, which can also often be confused with heart pain due to its proximity.

Another symptom for trigger points in the pectoralis minor is pain on the inside of the elbow that is similar to golfer’s elbow. The hurt arm can also make it hard to reach forward and upward, as well as give out a weak pulse at the wrist.

The soleus muscle, with its name derived from the Latin word “solea”, which means sandal, is one of the more powerful muscles in your body, located in the lower leg in the calf area. The soleus starts from below the knee to the heel and it is connected with the gastrocnemius muscle. Some consider it to be part of a single muscle in the calf, called the triceps surae, while others consider it to be a standalone muscle.

The role of the soleus muscle is to be the plantar flexor at the ankle joint and it’s involved in walking and standing. With the help of this muscle, which forms the Achilles tendon, humans and mammals can apply a great deal of force through the ankle. For example, the muscle is used when a person pushes off the ground while walking or standing on their toes, which are the basic ways in which to exercise this particular muscle.

Other activities that engage the soleus muscle are running or dancing as well as preventing the body from falling forward. Besides that, it helps pump blood from the feet to the heart.

Here at Pain Relief Massage Clinic on the Gold Coast, a lot of runners visit us regularly. Smart runners know that having a deep tissue massage or sports massage regularly is the only way to prevent unexpected leg injury. Asking for deep tissue massage when their muscles are in trouble is a wise thing to do, but having this massage treatment regularly is a lot wiser. Tearing calf muscles badly due to a lack of muscle maintenance is not uncommon and the consequence for that can last for the rest of the runner’s life on the Gold Coast.

One of the most common injuries in this area are strains which usually involve the soleus muscle alone or the soleus muscle and another muscle; strains in this area often include the tearing of these muscles and causes pain in the lower part of the leg. During the contraction of the calf, the tension is placed through this muscle and when the muscle experiences too much tension or a lot of repetition, the muscle can be strained or even torn.

Usually, calf strains involve more superficial lessions but when the lesion is deep they can end up injuring the soleus muscle. There are several types of calf strains and usually specialists assign grades from 1 to 3 in order to classify them. The first grade includes a small number of torn fibers with some pain, however the calf has a full function; the second grade involves moderate loss of function with a significant amount of pain; and the third grade involves an extreme amount of pain with significant loss of function as well as the most of the muscle fibers being ruptured.

The reasons for calf strain, no matter what grade, are usually various. For example one of the most common is when the muscle is gradually worn out by overuse. This type of wear and tear usually happens when people engage long term in strenuous activities such as running or walking uphill. Another common way to strain the soleus muscle is by stretching it too much; this usually means having an accident while being in a certain position, for example a forced forward position. A lot of athletes experience calf strains especially if they are involved in sports like football, tennis or squash.

In the first moments after the accident that produces a calf strain, the person might feel a sharp pain in their muscle as well as a sort of tightening. People who experience this should immediately stop whatever they are doing and seek a place to rest. After a couple of minutes to an hour they might experience swelling as well as muscle spans and weakness. In the most severe cases people might also walk with a limp and experience a great deal of pain when using the affected leg.

It is recommended to avoid all activities and make sure that you get plenty of rest afterwards. When the calf is almost healed people can resume their physical activity routine but they will have to make sure that they incorporate lighter exercise for a while, until the strain is completely healed.

With the help of a physician in the most severe cases, people can recover in a couple of months. For cases that are milder people might even be able to resume their normal activity in a few weeks. However, if the muscle is completely torn, some people might need surgery as well as a rehabilitation program in order to fully recover their leg and might even end up returning to their normal activities in a few months or even longer.

To aid in the process of healing, medical doctors on the Gold Coast may recommend taking anti-inflammatory medication, doing light exercise as well as getting some deep tissue massage or sports massage. These therapeutic massage treatments are great ways to help the tissue heal as well as make sure that you avoid future accidents by keeping the muscle in the best shape possible.

Deep tissue massage will have to be regular in the most severe cases but for those who are just experiencing a minor strain, a few sessions of deep tissue massage or sports massage can show great results and almost immediate relief when it comes to pain. By adding deep tissue massage in your routine you can avoid future side effects that come with such an accident: such as calf weakness, fatigue, poor balance, decreased fitness, etc.

The levator scapulae muscle is situated on the side and back region of the neck and it’s one of the muscles that get strained the most. The muscle is linked with the cervical vertebrae one to four and the dorsal tubercles. The name of the muscle comes from the Latin word levator, which means to lift. The use of this muscle is to lift the scapula as it is embedded into the vertebral border.

Levator scapulae – Back view

For example, when you shrug your shoulders, you engage this particular part of your body. It is also used when a person flexes their neck to one side or while moving in any direction from the shoulder joint. It is obvious that this particular muscle is one of those that we use frequently so it is prone to more mechanical damage due to its location and our sedentary modern life.

Although it does seem like a small muscle, damaging or straining it can cause serious effects to one’s body, especially when it comes to the more subtle movements and it can even interfere with easy day to day activities.

People who have pain related to this particular muscle usually have noticeable physical impairment that can even grow more severe if the pain is not treated in a short time. Usually their head appears to have limited movement and most of the time it seems glued into a certain position. Also, their movements are very slow and when they turn they actually turn their whole body because they are unable to turn their neck.

Also, damage can occur in the eyes because people can strain them to make up for the lack of movement in the neck. All these severe effects can put a strain on one’s body and even interfere with their ability to focus on their job or in school. This is why it is extremely important to find the cause of a strained levator scapulae muscle so that the person experiencing these issues find pain relief as soon as possible.

There are two important trigger points that are related to the Levator Scapulae muscle: the first trigger point is just above the superior angle of the scapula and the second is in the midportion of the muscle. These trigger points can be activated and become quite uncomfortable from various activities or accidents you may have.

For instance, whiplash from an automobile accident can cause one of these trigger points to be activated and lead to a great deal of pain. But the most common ways in which a trigger point can be activated are usually maintaining a bad posture or experiencing stress.

Sleeping on your stomach may seem comfortable, but it’s not a perfect way to relax since it can activate the trigger points mentioned above. Those who sleep with their head turned to one side can end up with a lot of discomfort that might prolong for days or even weeks.

Another way to engage these trigger points is to maintain a bad posture while working such as the common head forward posture in which a person usually lowers their head and leans forward while working . Usually those who work in an office and use a computer are more prone to activating these trigger point; even more, those who are holding a phone between their shoulder and ear or carrying heavy bags on just one shoulder will also damage their muscle sooner or later.

When it comes to stress it seems that emotional and mental stress play a major role in the wellbeing of your neck and back muscles. Stress causes tension in these exact muscles so they can activate back problems without any physical problem to begin with.

Among those who have issues with their levator scapulae muscle there are people who have very distinct symptoms. For example, some people experience shortness of breath and can even develop panic attacks due to it along with a feeling of pressure on their shoulders.

There are things people should consider when they have pain within their levator scapulae muscle. Usually correcting your posture is the best bet to prevent injuries in that area. Another way to make sure that you avoid injuries and accidents in the future is to relax your tense muscles by going regularly to Pain Relief Massage sessions such as remedial massage, sports massage and deep tissue massage. These clinical massage sessions can help by relieving pain and you have better odds at getting rid of the pain than by using medication.

Those who don’t want to take pain killers can simply use some over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication in combination with Pain Relief massage. You will feel better within the first few sessions and having massage therapy as part of your regular routine prevents muscle strains and a lot of related injuries.

Quadratus lumborum muscle is a muscle that stretches from the hip to the upper four lumbar vertebrae and the 12th rib; one of the roles of this muscle is to help people keep their upright position and what most people don’t know about it is the fact that it is often the culprit for lower back pain.

Unfortunately, a pair of quadratus lumborum muscles being one of core muscles of the body, it is making it more prone to strains or accidents. If you are experiencing any type of lower back pain it doesn’t hurt to have this area checked by a remedial massage therapist or deep tissue massage therapist.

Quadratus Lumborum

Some of the symptoms that might indicate that you have a strained quadratus lumborum muscle are the following:

Restriction of motion in the lower back – some people might experience stiffness in their lower back area when the muscles are pulled or strained. This can interfere with their overall wellbeing because it can keep them from doing usual daily activities.

Lower back pain – one of the symptoms that indicate a problem in the lower back area is, of course, the lower back pain which is felt like a sharp pain, even when you don’t do strenuous physical activity. The pain can be extremely hard to tolerate and you might need to take pain killers or even muscle relaxants to be able to tolerate it. Some people even have to get an injection in their back to be able to breathe properly as even taking deep breaths can cause this muscle to hurt.

Pain on the side – usually, when you pull this particular muscle you will feel the pain on only one side of your body, which often radiates to the hip as well. The pain can also be present during resting and people can be in most cases unable to walk for a day or two.

Some of the causes that lead to quadratus lumborum muscle strains are usually related to lifestyle choices, bad posture or accidents.

When it comes to lifestyle, this particular muscle can get weaker if you sit all day at the office, for example. Due to lack of exercise they are more prone to accidents. Also, not working your upper body and lower body makes people more prone to this type of accident.

Mechanical factors that lead to lower back pain can be in the form of accidents or even defects at birth, such as having one leg shorter. Usual daily activities, if not performed correctly, can put a strain on the lower back. Gardening and exercising on certain surfaces might be factors that will lead to this type of pain. Also, this particular muscle gets easily strained while lifting heavy objects or putting on socks or shoes while standing.

Other symptoms that are common and might even frighten a person when he or she has problems with their lower back are the spasms. Sometimes when people tend to have muscles cramp problem, they might also experience spasms.

Symptoms that might worry people are usually swelling and heat; heat is usually due to blood flow in the problematic area and it can also come with a bit of redness. However, people shouldn’t be worried as it’s usually a common sign.

Swelling should be a symptom that may indicate a more serious strain and it should definitely be treated immediately with cold patches and you should be immobilized to prevent any other further injury.

Other people might experience weakness along with the stiffness which can last for a long period of time even after the pain is gone and the patient can resume normal movement. Those who experience weakness even after a long time has passed from their injury should start having a regular exercise program and concentrate on getting a massage therapy regularly. This way you can increase the muscle strength on that side of the body while making sure that no accidents are going to take place.

Deep Tissue Massage is probably one of the best ways you can make sure that you avoid any type of accidents when it comes to the quadratus lumborum muscle and it’s a great way to relax the muscle and alleviate pain if you suddenly find yourself in one of the situations above.

The trapezius muscle is attached to the base of the skull, at the back of the neck and over the upper shoulders. It also goes down the upper back to the mid back which makes it one of the most sensible muscles in your body as it might get sore. When a person is stressed, when they have bad posture during work or during sleep, or when they are overworked, they will experience a wide range of symptoms that include pain or stiffness.

Trapezius Muscle

When it comes to stress, the trapezius muscle can even have symptoms of a burning sensation, which can make things difficult when sitting down or bending over. Stress itself is a major reason for back and neck pain and it can affect the life quality of those who experience it. Fortunately, stress related pain can be easily alleviated with massage and exercise.

The types of massage used for trapezius muscles vary according to patient and how severe the pain is. The classic symptoms are usually shoulders ache combined with a neck ache and sometimes stiffness. At its most severe point trapezius muscle pain can even lead to severe headaches. The headaches are usually located at the temples, behind the eyes and at the base of your skull. Sometimes people think they have other problems that might affect them and completely overlook trapezius muscle issues.

The following section will explain some of the common causes that can lead to trapezius muscle problems. These causes should be corrected as soon as possible, otherwise people might experience long term problems or even worsening symptoms.

Besides stress one of the leading causes for trapezius muscle pain is general posture, like holding your head forward while working at a desk. You can improve your posture by trying to exercise every hour and by getting up from your desk so that your muscles can have some relief.

Having a regular massage, at least once a month will certainly improve your condition. Massage also works great for trapezius muscle pain that has stress as a primary cause. The pain can be alleviated and the person can relax after a stressful day at work as it works both physically and emotionally on a person’s wellbeing.

Women who experience trapezius muscle pain should make sure that their bras are well fitted and that the bra straps are not too tight. Also, make sure that you avoid wearing bags that are too big and heavy on just one shoulder. However, backpacks although they might seem like they make it easier for your trapezius muscle pain and posture, can have a huge impact if they are too heavy.

Women who have recently given birth might also experience trapezius muscle pain especially if they adopt bad posture while breastfeeding their babies. Also, the weight of their breasts may increase and pull the trapezius muscle leading to more back pain. A well fitted bra and massage might help ease the pain or even completely cure it.

When it comes to sleeping, you might think that it helps your back by relaxing your whole body. However, it’s all in the posture and a night of sleeping in a bad position might lead to dramatic morning with pain in your upper back. For example, those who choose to sleep on their stomach will usually have to turn their head to one side or the other; this can be really bad for your posture because it puts pressure on the muscles.

Actually even keeping your head turned for prolonged periods of time, either for work or for your hobby, can cause acute neck or shoulder pain. Change your position frequently and make sure that you do some exercise and go to a massage therapist from time to time in order to relax the muscles and improve your condition and wellbeing.

Another way to hurt your trapezius muscle is to bend forward while working, this is common with artisans, painters, knitters, etc. However, writers and those who work at a computer are not saved from pain as having a high keyboard or having no rest for your arms can keep your muscles tight thorough the day. Even artists who play an instrument will find that their neck is stiff sometimes, especially if it involves bending and sitting in an awkward position.

Trapezius muscle pain doesn’t have to concern you, it cannot lead to anything too serious but pain is the thing that usually rushes people to a medical doctor, who can’t really do anything but prescribe pain killers. For long term effect, exercise and having a remedial massage is the best thing you can do when you have tight muscles. Just a few massage sessions per month and exercising for 15 to 30 minutes daily is going to solve a major part of your problem.

The purpose of deep tissue massage cam be to improve the overall quality of your health, however, most people choose it because it is a great natural healing method that can work for just about anyone, from toddlers to senior citizens and everyone in between.

This means that generally, deep tissue massage is a great way to improve the immune system, reduce tension in the muscles and even improve the health of your nervous system. This makes it an incredibly important tool for most people, regardless of their physical performance. It can improve the condition and quality of life for both athletes as well as normal people, even children.

Sometimes parents wonder whether deep tissue massage is a good idea for their children and whether it is a safe and reliable option. This is particularly the case when it is used to alleviate pain or other unpleasant symptoms that the child might be suffering from. This lack of information has led many parents to think that massage is a too risky or too outlandish alternative measure and should be avoided or at the very least disregarded as a possible pain reliever.

Despite what some people may believe, a lot of medical doctors actually prescribe deep tissue massage to children in order to improve the flow of blood, reduce their muscular flaccidity or even muscular tension and to enhance their healing process. In fact, doctors have noticed that child patients who have gone through deep tissue massage as a main or secondary treatment have had amazing results. The first thing they notice is the quick reduction in muscle spasms.

For children who suffered broken limbs or similar injuries, deep tissue massage was instrumental in increasing joint and limb flexibility and helping patients regain their full range of motion. Another aspect that was greatly influenced by massage is the ease and efficiency of movement in patients who suffered spinal injuries. It should be noted that patients who have suffered spinal injuries need to consult their doctor before undergoing any form of massage.

Other way deep tissue massage can help child patients is by helping them improve their breathing. This means that asthma sufferers or children who generally have a hard time breathing correctly will be able to take deeper and easier breaths, oxygenating their blood and increasing their overall health.

Better blood and lymph circulation is also an important bonus that massage can add into your life. By stimulating muscles, nerves and lymph nodes in just the right way a massage therapist can help people regain circulation in problem areas. This treatment is particularly useful for diabetes sufferers or children who suffered muscle injuries or cuts that now need improved circulation to heal completely.

The head, neck and eyes are also important areas that can be helped with deep tissue massage. Patients can benefit from cured or greatly reduced headaches and migraines, relieved headache induced tension, and relived eyestrain. It can also improve circulation to the scalp; improving the health of your child’s hair should he suffer from any abnormalities. There have been cases where deep tissue massage helped people get rid of dandruff or other similar scalp problems.

Aesthetically, deep tissue massage can also help the skin gain in vibrancy and health. It can also help its nourishment levels through the high quality oils used as well as promote a general feeling of well-being.

It can help prevent the formation of scar tissue after suffering minor injuries and cuts of the soft tissue. It can also aid these wounds and help them heal much quicker and with reduced swelling as it can with pulled muscles or sprained ligaments. These last two are particularly useful if your child is athletic or is playing sports professionally. Deep tissue massage can also help improve posture. It manages to do this by changing the tension patterns that affect posture.

This type of massage won’t just help heal the body, but it will also play a big role in a healthy and balanced psyche. It can increase endorphin levels, reduce emotional stress and even help with anxiety. It is one of the best methods to relieve daily stress for both adults and children and can do wonders for socially awkward or anxious youngsters.

So talk to your medical doctor about massage when it comes to your kid, and if you get the OK don’t hesitate to use this immensely powerful and diverse ancient tool and get the many benefits it offers. Massage is a great way to obtain a healthy body and mind.

Deep tissue massage is a massage technique that helps people find a natural way to relieve their stress and some of the most common health problem. In this article, we will discuss how this therapy is successfully used to treat even the most complicated health problems starting with nasty colds and finishing with complications from scoliosis and so on.

First of all, deep tissue massage is not what you see in movies, it is a form of therapeutic massage that allows people to improve their life quality and maintain their chronic pain. It is not a relaxing type of massage, it is a health therapy that helps the body to heal. Usually, deep tissue massage is considered to be part of alternative medicine, but it seems to become a mainstream practice more and more.

Nowadays, medical doctors even recommend it as an adjuvant therapy for various medication treatments or after certain procedures because of its amazing healing benefits. There is also an increasing amount of studies that show how effective massage can be for reducing problems caused by emotional issues as it easily reduces stress, pain and muscle tension. Other emotional issues people may be able to solve with this are eating disorders, anxiety, or even insomnia, especially if insomnia is related to stress.

Usually, deep tissue massage will also improve blood circulation which means that it will help with issues such as headaches, myofascial pain syndrome, soft tissue strains or injuries, sports injuries or joint pain.

There are, however, a few things one should note before undergoing this type of massage. People who are suffering from bleeding disorders or those who take blood thinning medication are advised against it. Also, if you suffer from deep vein thrombosis, fractures, or other bone diseases such as severe osteoporosis. If you still want to get a few massage sessions, at least discuss with your doctor to see whether the procedure is safe for you.

Patients who suffer from cancer should also discuss with their physician beforehand just to make sure that everything is ok. Sometimes massage might even cause problems such as nerve damage, internal bleeding or paralysis if not performed by a specialist. Other times people might get an allergic reaction from lotions and oils.

In a usual massage therapy session people should prepare with comfortable clothing and you will be asked to lie on a table while the massage is performed. If you have any allergies, tell your massage therapist beforehand. The massage session may last between 15 and 90 minutes depending on your condition and how thorough the massage therapist has to be.

Also, it depends if more than one areas of your body needs to be treated. Always make sure that you tell the therapist whether you have a strange sensation due to pressure or any type of pain. This will help them not only determine the roughness of the massage but also diagnose other conditions you may have that may be hidden from plain view.

Studies have shown that deep tissue massage works wonders with reducing chronic pain and it’s also an extremely affordable therapy for those who don’t want to take medication for their symptoms. Due to the fact that this type of massage increases blood flow, it also helps reduce inflammation in areas that cause people pain. Other types of pain such as muscle pain or back problems can be easily reduced with the help of deep tissue massage in a very efficient manner.

Another group of people who can benefit enormously from deep tissue massage are those who are suffering from high blood pressure. Studies have shown that people who undergo massage therapy regularly are able to decrease their blood pressure. This might also have to do with the fact that deep tissue massage alleviates stress very easily and since stress is a cause of high blood pressure, it might be a reason why so many people are opting for deep tissue massage to improve their blood pressure.

Those preparing for deep tissue massage should avoid eating too much before the massage, try to drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins that will be released from muscles and avoid any type of strenuous activity after their massage.

Deep tissue massage is a perfect way to treat problems that bother you in a natural way and avoid taking any pain medication. Besides that, massage allows people to improve their movements, avoid muscular issues and simply maintain an overall good life quality.

Surprisingly, deep tissue massage can also help those who are suffering from diabetes. They can improve their life quality by choosing deep tissue massage. People who suffer from diabetes experience what is called neuropathy, which can give them pain, stiffness and even numbness throughout their extremities.

With the help of deep tissue massage, they can make sure that they live a functional life by relieving their pain and regaining some feeling in their extremities, not to mention the fact that they can slow down the progress of neuropathy overall.

Those who suffer from anxiety will also find deep tissue massage to be an excellent remedy especially during times of great stress. Some even find the whole experience of going to a massage therapist soothing as sometimes they can talk to them and relax even more. After a session you will certainly feel much more positive and extremely relaxed.

These are just a few of the benefits you can get from various types of deep tissue massage on the Gold Coast. However, well before deciding to try massage, you should make sure that you don’t have other major underlying problems that may cause your pain. So it would be a good idea to check with your doctor.

For example, there are a few recommendations for those who want to get deep tissue massage as not all people are advised to do so. Patients who have infectious skin diseases or rashes shouldn’t try deep tissue massage. Also, if you recently had surgery or chemotherapy, you might want to wait until later. People who are prone to blood clots or who have a serious heart condition should avoid getting a deep tissue massage without checking with their doctor.

If you don’t suffer from the aforementioned problems, then don’t hesitate to try deep tissue massage because it can change your life. It is an excellent way to regain your pain free life and avoid having to take medication for some of your problems.

Soft tissue massage is another type of massage that you need to be aware of because it’s very useful when it comes to treating pain, especially in patients who have been experiencing pain for their whole lives. Rehabilitating and improving their life is a great part of this massage technique which also aims to slowly relieve their stress.

One of the biggest common misconceptions is that deep tissue massage might hurt, but that is definitely an exaggeration. Usually people don’t experience pain during massage but they can feel a sort of discomfort during their session especially when the therapist performs massage on the problematic areas; however, if that happens, they are advised to communicate with their massage therapist and tell them exactly when it hurts and how it hurts.

Usually patients are required to apply either ice or take it slow for a day or two after deep tissue massage because they might feel a bit stiff. However after these two days pass you will probably feel like a new person because your pain will start to gradually go away and stiffness might become less problematic. Continuing with regular deep tissue massage can help people completely eliminate their pain problems.

Deep tissue massage can also work well for those who have problems with circulation in their hands and feet. Those who are stuck in an office at work all day usually experience this problem, especially during cold days.

Deep tissue massage can help people eliminate toxins and improve their circulation in that area keeping their extremities warm or from becoming numb. Those who have been struggling with this for years will certainly find it to be a real life saver.

The connective deep tissue massage is a manipulation of the connective tissue that can help break up certain restrictions that might accumulate within the fascia. A lot of people could benefit from this variation of deep tissue massage especially if they have problems with neuromuscular skeletal disorders or they want to relieve chronic tension.

It’s also a great way to reduce stress and sometimes even enhance your physical performance if you are an athlete or an artist. This is one of the most popular techniques performed in deep tissue massage as it has major benefits with various problems.

Neuromuscular deep tissue massage is another type of massage that actually uses certain trigger points people have in their body. These trigger points can act on a person’s spine, brain and even nervous system.

It is extremely useful for those who have spasms or cramps in their legs but also athletes or people who are practicing any type of sport and want to make sure that they relieve any type of pain and improve their flexibility.  Also, if you are doing strenuous physical activity this technique can help you avoid any stress injuries.

Another variation of deep tissue massage is myofascial deep tissue massage which acts solely on breaking up scar tissue that might accumulate in certain parts of your body. With the help of this technique you can make sure that you treat a stress related injury and even injuries that come from accidents or sports.

Another great use of this technique is for people who have headaches as well as neck pain on the Gold Coast. Sometimes patients come to a massage therapy session as a last resort to get rid of their pain and this technique even works for those who have been experiencing the same pain for years without finding any type of relief.

One major problem that our society has nowadays and can be easily resolved by deep tissue massage is stress.

Besides all the above mentioned benefits, it seems that deep tissue massage does wonders on people who suffer from fibromyalgia. It is so effective that it has started being prescribed by doctors, so if you can’t find any relief and are suffering from this, you should definitely give it a try. It can help you with countless problems that come with fibromyalgia: stiffness, tension, anxiety, pain and insomnia.

It seems that just a single session of deep tissue massage can show how much you can benefit from it, so having regular massage sessions can help you get back to your normal day to day activities without worrying about all those nasty fibromyalgia symptoms.
