Benefits of Massage
Whether you are old or
young, everyday living can create a lot of tension in your body. Massage can
have a wonderful therapeutic effect on the entire body - it can put your mind
and body back in harmony. Massage can provide you with a means to counteract
the relentless pressures of home and work life. Croydon Remedial and Sports
Massage offers you individual treatment by an accredited full-time remedial
massage therapist for the following services:
Remedial Massage
Remedial massage can help relieve
specific muscular aches and joint problems which are chronic or related to
overuse; release painful muscle spasms; relieve tension headaches and neck
pain; break up adhesions and scar tissue that cause pain and stiffness in
muscles and tendons; relieve joint pressure caused by osteoarthritis,
counteract the effects of prolonged stress and bodily tension; assist in the
rehabilitation of sprained and strained muscles.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is used to
release chronic patterns of muscular tension using deep, slow strokes, direct
pressure, or friction. Often the movements are directed across the grain of the
muscles (cross-fibre) using the fingers, thumbs, or
elbows. This is applied with greater pressure and at deeper layers of the
muscle than Swedish massage and that is why it is called deep tissue.
It is also more specific. For
example, in the case of someone with a sore shoulder, the practitioner may
focus on the trapezius and the rhomboid underneath,
trying to work in all the layers of muscle that might be involved. Deep tissue
massage lends itself to being more focused on a problem area.
Sports Massage
Sports massage is for anyone who is
involved in weekend recreational sporting activities right through to the
professional athlete. Sports massage can help athletes prevent sports related
injuries occurring by warm-up and stimulation of muscles (Pre-Event Massage);
tone muscles, improve blood and lymphatic flow which helps respiratory
performance; improve flexibility of muscles; aid in stress reduction; help
prevent muscular adhesions; clear lactic acid build-up which improves recovery
time; assist rehabilition of sporting injuries such as sprains, strains and muscle stiffness; remove
painful muscle spasms; improve performance and endurance.
Swedish Massage
This is a gentle, flowing massage technique that is particularly effective for people suffering from work related or personal stress. Swedish Massage can relax and tone your sore tired muscles; assist the flow of blood and oxygen within your body; encourage the lymphatic flow (the body's natural defence and detoxifying system), and leave you feeling calm and energised.
Postural Corrective Exercises
Corrective exercises are used to
complement your massage and may assist you to improve your range of movement
and flexibility of muscles and joints through stretching exercises;
strengthening any muscle imbalances that could contribute to poor posture or
muscle fatigue and correct poor postural habits that cause chronic muscular
pain.
