Deep Tissue Massage Mitchelstown
Revive Physiotherapy offer Deep Tissue Massage in Mitchelstown.
Are you feeling pain, muscle soreness or stress? If so deep tissue massage might be for you. It works by reducing or alleviating tension and strain, releasing ‘knots’ in the muscles. Massage is widely accepted as both a tool for relaxation and stress relief and also to alleviate pain, treat arthritis, bursitis, fatigue, high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression, among other conditions. While other massages are more ‘surface level’, deep tissue massage is meant to truly work deeply into the tissues.
Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue Massage can help:
- lower stress levels by increasing oxytocin and decreasing cortisol levels. Massage can also release the physical symptoms of stress such as tight muscles and shoulders and tension headaches.
- break up scar tissue and make movement easier.
- lower blood pressure and reduce heart rate.
- rehabilitate injured muscles
- help with pregnancy aches and pains
What to expect from your Deep Tissue Massage
Discussion
As with any treatment you should discuss with your physiotherapist what you expect to get from this massage, what parts of the body are need massage and any other relevant information e.g. previous surgeries, injuries, pregnancies
Muscle Preparation
Our physiotherapists will likely start warming up your muscles by applying oil and light pressure to the areas they will be working on.
Massage
During the massage a deeper pressure will be used to realign and release tissue fibres and any adhesions found in the muscles. It is important to remember that it is not unusual to feel a small degree of discomfort during the massage. This is due to the fact that this type of massage is used to break up tension, scar tissue or adhesions. At no point will you be in pain during the treatment.
Booking your Deep Tissue Massage
Many people set up a standing appointment either monthly or bi-monthly and use massage to keep them out of pain and discomfort, particularly those with stressful lives or jobs.
