Neuromuscular Therapy
Neuromuscular therapy is a system of massage techniques that were developed in the 1930's by Dr. Stanley Lief in England. It uses a holistic approach towards healing, emphasizing and stimulating the body's natural ability to heal itself. Neuromuscular therapy also enhances the function of joints and muscles, and accelerates the overall healing process by facilitating the release of endorphins.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
Massge for Spinal Curvatures
Deep Tissue Massage has been used as an alternative treatment for the relief of scoliosis-related symptoms for years. When the body is massaged, tight muscles are stretched thus losing their tension. Circulation improves as blood is allowed to flow to these tighter areas. Deep tissue massage is often reported and observed to improve posture, increase flexibility, and facilitate healing and strength in the muscles due to increased blood flow.
Deep Tissue Massage must be done with expertise and care as to not work overstretched muscles covering the rib cage. A credentialed massage therapist should be referred by a spinal orthopedist or neurosurgeon. While massage therapy will not fix or stop the curvature of the spine, it is a treatment option chosen by many for pain management, increased mobility, and the reduction of many scoliosis-related symptoms.
