What is Massage Therapy?
Massage Therapy involves the manipulation of soft tissues in the body to enhance health and well-being. It utilizes various techniques to relax muscles, improve circulation, and alleviate pain.
Massage therapy is a holistic approach that benefits both the body and mind. It is a common misconception to believe massages are only for “pampering” which for some are, however, therapeutic massages are geared towards healing and pain relief.
It’s common to feel relaxed, tired or even sore after a massage. This is because your muscles are being worked by the massage therapist. After a massage, it may feel like you completed a workout. It is possible to experience a headache or nausea after a massage.
Some people think that massage must hurt to help. But a massage doesn’t need to be painful to be effective.
If your massage therapist is pushing too hard, ask for lighter pressure. Occasionally you may have a sensitive spot in a muscle that feels like a knot. It’s likely to be uncomfortable while your massage therapist works it out. But if it becomes painful, speak up. Most serious problems come from too much pressure during a massage.
