Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. This massage releases the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow movement and deep pressure. This massage can be used for specific work on concentrated areas of tension and pain or for full body.
It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, low back tightness, and sore shoulders. Soft tissue release is a form of bodywork designed specifically around the area of neuromuscular therapy. This type of therapy focuses on increasing recovery rates of muscular injuries, fixing muscular imbalances, and relieving chronic pain.
Soft tissue release is a popular form of therapy among athletes. It is a quick and effective way of achieving strength and flexibility after muscular injuries. Pressure is applied to the muscles while it is being stretched. The integrated movement technique helps to correct muscular imbalances, including areas that have been injured or have scar tissue. This therapy allows you to communicate with the nervous system; it is not just a manipulation of tissue.
The application of rhythmic pressure during a stretching routine is communicating to the nervous system and reprogramming the muscles. This will eliminate the old muscle memory of how the nervous system thinks your muscle should normally be which is why pain persists.
When trauma occurs to the muscle tissue, the affected area becomes inflamed. Once the muscle memory is evoked during Soft Tissue Release, the muscles are encouraged to return to their normal state and the inflammation decreases. Anyone who is suffering from chronic pain or healing from an injury, this massage will help to eliminate negative muscle patterns held within the body. Neuromuscular Therapy is a thorough program of recovery from acute and chronic pain syndromes which utilizes specific massage therapy, flexibility stretching, and home care to eliminate the causes of most neuromuscular pain patterns.
