A Back, neck & shoulders massages are composed of a number of Shiatsu, Tui Na and acupressure techniques, so you can rest assured you’ll be getting the best in the business. Concentrated on the back, neck and shoulder area, specific oils are used to release tension and help soothe tight, sore muscles, which result from wear and tear or incorrect posture. This massage applies pressure to muscles, in order to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from stressed areas.
This type of therapy is great for relieving an injury, sprain, or knot. It’s going to be less rhythmic and relaxing, but it’s going to aid you in recovering from more severe pains. Your therapist will apply more pressure to layers of muscle or tissue that needs to be worked on. Your therapist may use a transverse friction method for a deep tissue massage. This method uses an oscillating pressure across the direction of the tissue fibers for a tendon or ligament injury that needs to be broken down.
Your massage therapist will know the best massage technique depending on the reason for your appointment. They can also customize your massage to provide multiple techniques depending on your current needs and your body’s response. When you try to do it yourself or use an at-home device to relax your muscles, you don’t have the kind of control of a therapist in the pressure, the technique, or the trigger point. Your therapist is more likely to be able to pinpoint the source of the pain as well. That’s a look at the types of massage and their benefits and the types of massage techniques that you may experience at your next massage.
