Massage Therapy involves working the body with pressure and various levels of mild to deep rubbing that is applied to targeted points on the body.  The targeted tissues are usually muscles. Therapeutic Massage may include the use of the therapist’s hands, fingers, elbows and forearm to accomplish the needed level of localized pressure that is required.  There are a number of diverse types of massage.

Massage most often involves the customer being treated while lying on a massage table. The massage tables are used to situate the client in the needed position allowing proper access during massages. A typical massage table has a cushioned surface and an opening in the head support that allows the client to breathe easily while lying face down.

The massage subject may be fully or partly unclothed during a massage and parts of the body are draped with towels or a sheet. A mobile massage therapist can do this in the comfort of your home.

Some customers want an hour to themselves being pampered to reduce stress, while others have a specific injury that needs focused on. The customer’s needs concerning the style of bodywork or massage therapy are all taken into account by your mobile massage therapist. The massage therapist will engage you in the design of treatment. Your massage therapists will use a blend of the various types of massage to target your specific needs.  The client should complete an intake form prior to the consultation with the massage therapist. These procedures provide the therapist with the knowledge required to focus on that client’s specific needs.

Some benefits of massage include:

• Relief from pain

• Faster healing of some variants of tissue damage

• The relaxation effect usually reduces the severity of migraines or headaches

• Decreased blood pressure and relief of muscle tension in the neck and shoulders

• Improved mental focus, extra energy, reduction of anxiety

• Less stress improves the immune systems by reducing adrenaline and cortisone levels

During a Swedish massage, massage therapists may use lotion to facilitate smooth, gliding strokes called effleurage. Other Swedish massage techniques include kneading and stretching. This massage modality uses firm but gentle pressure to induce relaxation, ease muscle tension and promote overall general wellness. Swedish massage may include some deeper work on areas of specific muscle tension, but if you want more intensive work and firmer pressure, get a deep tissue massage. Always ommunicate your preference for pressure to your therapist during the massage.

Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is particularly helpful for chronically tense areas like neck, shoulders and the lower back. It uses some of identical techniques that are used in Swedish massage, but the motion is slower, more focused, the pressure is deeper and concentrated on areas of tension and pain. When there is chronic muscle tension or there has been an injury, there are often bands of painful or rigid tissue called adhesions in the muscles and connective tissues. Adhesions can limit movement; obstruct circulation, and cause pain from inflammation. Deep tissue massage works by breaking down these adhesions to restore normal function and relieve pain. To do this, the massage therapist sometimes uses direct deep pressure applied against the grain of the muscle. It is extremely important to tell the massage therapist when things hurt and if any soreness or pain is outside your comfort level.
