What is Therapeutic Massage?
Therapeutic massage Melbourne is an intentional use of skilled touch to bring healing. It involves the manipulation of your body’s soft tissues, including facia, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue. There are many reasons that support the use of massage therapy as a valuable adjunct to any well-rounded personal health-care regimen. In fact, whether it is a care regimen is well-rounded or not can is determined partially by whether it includes massage.
Full body massage of any sort stretches and loosens the tight areas of your body and improves the circulation of blood to those areas. This speeds up the removal of various metabolic waste products and facilitates the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to cell structures. This then improves their performance and communication with each other. The goal of Melbourne massage therapy, besides providing relief from pain and tension, is to induce new patterns of memory to muscle fibres to restore your ideal muscular and skeletal systems.
Therapeutic massage Melbourne involves a knowledgeable, licensed practitioner manipulating the body’s soft tissue, such as its facia, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue, not only for general well-being and health purposes but also to ease any areas of tension or soreness. All forms of massage are inherently healing.
Because we use our bodies continuously, they continuously require repair in the form of proper nutrients, rest, and adequate relaxation. The mind and the body occasionally seem to be in a vicious cycle where one cannot relax because of stimulation and/or pain from the other. Massage therapy is an effective way of breaking that cycle and regular massage therapy plays a big part in re-educating and re-balancing your body.
While much of the time massage therapists use their hands, it is not uncommon in some types of massage for the therapist to use other of their body parts, such as their elbows and knees to release especially stubborn areas of tension. When it is beneficial to do so, therapists incorporate hot stones into your massage for a deep heat that relaxes in its own right and penetrates deeply.
If people really understood the true value of massage therapy, and all that it could do for them they’d put their doctors on hold and stand in line to sign up! It feels good to receive a massage. Some people view a massage as nothing more than a pleasurable experience, but a massage is always of greater value than the mere pleasure it affords.
The sensation of pleasure itself that is good for you. It lowers your blood pressure and strengthens your immune system. It allows your sympathetic nervous system to rest. Massage, particularly regular massage, lowers the amount of cortisol that your body produces, and so protects your heart. It helps your lymphatic system drain, improves the oxygenation of your muscle and connective tissues and causes the release of “feel-good” pain-killing endorphins. And yes, it feels great and does much to increase your physical comfort and overall sense of well-being.

Types of Massage Therapy
What type of touch makes up what type of massage therapy has to do with the massage strokes used, the depth of their pressure, and other aspects.

Remedial Massage |
|
The goal of a relaxation massage is to trigger the body’s deep relaxation response for a more serene state that often lets you remain in this state of tranquility for days.
Although it is your body that receives the massage, your mind likewise exercises a strong influence over your body, something that your Melbourne massage therapist understands well. Many will argue that the best massage Melbourne, assuming you are injury free, is the peaceful, fragrant, soothing, relaxing massage experience of allowing your mind to drift in serene surroundings as all your muscular tension melt away. |
A remedial Melbourne massage is exactly what it sounds like: it’s part of healing tired, overworked, tender, or injured muscles. By the time you’re signing up for this massage, you are in pain and have probably lost the ability to move normally in some particular area. This is the massage you want if you have an injury, be it a strain or a frozen muscle group where immobilised energy has turned muscle tissue into stone. Until that muscle relaxes, it is unlikely that you will know a moment’s comfort.
There are several conditions that improve with massage and some disappear entirely with repeat sessions. Remedial massages may incorporate aspects of multiple types of massage such as deep tissue massage for portions of the massage, depending upon what you need. Conditions that respond well to remedial massaging sessions include frozen shoulder, sciatica, stiff necks, carpal tunnel, and migraine headaches. If you’ve been uncomfortable lately and are unsure whether you want a remedial or relaxing massage, just pick up the phone and call us–we’re always glad to discuss your needs with you. |

Pregnancy MassagePregnancy is a wondrous but often uncomfortable period in which your body goes through many changes and somehow incubates a little human being in less than a year. Everything you can do to increase your comfort extends to the baby you carry inside you. Pregnancy or prenatal massage incorporates therapists who train especially to work with pregnant women in a safe and beneficial manner. Massage therapy in pregnancy helps relieve several of the discomforts of pregnancy.
Prenatal massage provides positive outcomes for not one, but two people: mother and child. When the mother receives regular massage throughout her prenatal period, not only does she enjoy better health (studies suggest lower levels of depression and anxiety, fewer muscle aches and pains, and easier deliveries) but her baby, likewise, benefits. Babies born to mothers who were massaged in pregnancy had fewer complications during and after birth. |

Sports Massage
If you’ve ever had a favourite sports team, you know the agony that players and fans alike endure whenever a key player sustains an injury. Sometimes, it seems as if they come back faster than seems possible for the injuries they have sustained. The reason for this is the easy availability of mobile massage Melbourne.
Athletes have the best of everything available to them, but you don’t have to be an athlete to take advantage of many of the tips and tricks the pros use, such as sports massage. Sure, a rub down feels great following a game, but did you know that massage helps even micro muscle injuries that occur from of strenuous or repetitive sports heal faster? Massage prior, during, and after sports events, is critical to optimal performance, speed and ease of recovery, not to mention long-term health.
Massage therapists in Melbourne provide sports massage therapy for athletes of every persuasion. Each athlete’s needs will differ according to their sport of choice and current state of health. Athletes find that regular massage reduces fatigue and improves endurance while increasing flexibility, all of which combine to preventing injuries from occurring.
Some people have a tendency to “hold” tension in their muscles long after it should have gone. This occurs for many reasons, one common one having (again, for various reasons) a habitually unbalanced body posture. This produces areas of trapped energy. It stagnates and resists release, and tightness in one place leads to increasing tightness in another.
Massage north Melbourne therapists agree that deep tissue massage is often the answer for individuals with this deeply held tension and muscular pain. The amount of pressure required to reach deep muscles is greater than some people are comfortable experiencing, but most people receiving this style of massage agree that the temporary discomfort involved in releasing old tension is worth the result.
