What is Neuromuscular Massage and Why is it Helpful?
Neuromuscular massage is also a deep tissue technique that focuses on restoring strength and range of motion to an area of overuse or injury. Neuromuscular massage is not always as comfortable or relaxing as a Swedish massage, but the after effects are.
Neuromuscular massage is a targeted therapy to treat conditions such as plantar fasciitis, persistent neck or back pain, and issues of overuse such as carpel tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow or shoulder and rotator cuff pain from golf or baseball.

What is Deep Tissue Massage and Why is it Helpful?
Deep tissue massage uses greater pressure on the muscles to focus on the tissue, tendons and fascia which will help relieve chronic muscle tension. Deep tissue massage is beneficial in lowering blood pressure and by boosting mood and relaxation by triggering the release of oxytocin and serotonin.

What is Trigger Point Therapy and Why is it Helpful?
Trigger point therapy is designed to ease tightness within a constricted muscle that may refer pain to another part of the body. Cycles of isolated, increasing pressure followed by release results in an easing of pain in vulnerable areas such as the head and neck.

What is Swedish Massage and Why is it Helpful?
Swedish massage is perhaps the most common type of massage therapy and involves long, gliding strokes over the entire body. This type of massage increases the blood flow and provides a generally, relaxing experience. Swedish massage reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, and boosts the immune system because it stimulates the number of white blood cells that fight infection.

Why Add Massage to Your Health Routine?
Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress-related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. Massage is an effective tool for managing this stress, which translates into:
Decreased anxiety
Enhanced sleep quality
Greater energy
Improved concentration
Increased circulation
Reduced fatigue

Mindfulness Helps Chronic Pain
If you have chronic pain, regular neuromuscular massage can help ease the pain and maintain your range of motion, all of which help maintain your quality of life.
New studies show that mindfulness is another tool to help relieve chronic pain.
Mindfulness is nothing more than taking opportunities several times each day to bring your attention on to something in the present moment.
Much of the discomfort of chronic pain is our own reactions to it.
Often, our thoughts are brought from an activity we’re engaged in to thinking about what hurts.
There are mindfulness meditations, as well as activities that you can do anywhere to help your chronic pain.

Heat Can Help Back Pain Between Massage Treatments
Heat can help back pain by increasing blood flow, oxygen and nutrients to the tissues. Neuromuscular massage has the same effects. If you have back pain, use heat in between visits to your massage therapist.

Keep Moving to Prevent Back Pain
Degenerative changes to the back are normal and almost always present after the age of 60. Most people never report significant pain. There are a few instances, however, that can cause significant back pain, including the loss of cartilage that allows the bones to rub against one another. Movement helps to guard against cartilage loss, and neuromuscular massage can help you keep moving.

Muscle Strain is the Most Common Cause of Back Pain
Muscle strain from twisting, overuse or poor posture is the most common cause of back pain, especially lower back pain. If you are suffering from back pain, neuromuscular massage is a recommended therapy to help ease pain and restore movement.
