If a certain part of the body is tight, inflamed, injured or in spasm, then those parts can feel pain during any massage treatment. Before your massage wellness session, we always ask our patients to be open and honest with our massage therapists (RMTs) in regards to which areas you are experiencing pain on your body and how much pressure you would like to get. This will make a big difference and receiving the benefits of your massage session.

This technique reduces edema and pain in the treated area and at the same time reduces scar tissue formation. It is also effective in removing metabolic wastes secondary to inflammation.
What is Neuromuscular Therapy? If you experience recurring pain in your muscles and joints. You may look into trigger points or neuromuscular therapy. Trigger points are tiny knots that occur in tight muscles. During the Neuromuscular therapy wellness session, the pressure gets applied to these trigger points. The trigger points are the muscular areas that feel lumpy and can be painful or uncomfortable and might be causing pain in your body. When these points are pressured, the muscle relaxes, causing you instant pain relief.
How is Deep Tissue Massage different than regular massage wellness sessions? If you suffer from frequent tension headaches and back pains, you may benefit from a professional deep tissue neck massage. During a deep tissue massage wellness session, the massage therapist uses a stretching technique along with pressure to pull and stretch your muscles. This allows the muscles to relax and helps to relieve your headache and tension. The use of massage oil really does help usher in extra feeling and sensation. This helps reduce tension and stress in the muscle joints and help alleviate pain.
