Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy affects women in a multitude of ways. Pregnancy Massage can help expectant moms in Brandon adjust to their changes and feel great at the same time. Done properly, it can reduce stress, promote relaxation and facilitate transitions through emotional support and physical nurturing. It can also reduce edema and blood pressure, relieve varicose veins and improve blood circulation. Most importantly, if done regularly, it can reduce the length of labor and the need for drug-induced birthing. In addition, one of the most exciting findings shows that women massaged during pregnancy had babies with fewer postnatal complications and a lower rate of prematurity. Scientific fact behind what Massage Envy already new: a healthy mom who takes care of herself is better equipped to care for a child, even in utero.
Sports Massage
For the athletes in and around Brandon, there’s also Sports Massage. This is designed to help athletes prepare their bodies for optimal performance, recover after a big event, or function well during training. But a person doesn’t have to be in the Olympics to benefit from sports massage. Sports massage is also good for those with injuries, chronic pain or restricted range of motion. This is actually a type of Swedish massage that stimulates circulation of blood and lymph fluids. Some sports massage movements use trigger point therapy to break down adhesions (knots in the muscles) and increase range of motion.
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage is the most commonly offered and best known type of massage. It was developed by a Swedish physiologist, Henri Peter Ling at the University of Stockholm in 1812. It uses a firm but gentle pressure to improve the circulation, ease muscle aches and tension, improve flexibility and create relaxation. Swedish massage employs long, gliding strokes, kneading of individual muscles, friction, hacking or tapping and vibration. Swedish massage is actually the foundation for other types of Western massage, including sports, deep tissue and aromatherapy
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is a type of massage aimed at the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia, also called connective tissue. Deep tissue massage uses many of the same movements and techniques as Swedish massage, but the pressure will generally be more intense. It is also a more focused type of massage, as the therapist works to release chronic muscle tension or knots. It shouldn’t hurt, but it’s likely to be a bit more uncomfortable than a classic Swedish massage. You should always feel free to speak up if the pressure is too much for you.
There are many more types of massage offered by Massage Envy and there will be at least one or two that each person will find the most beneficial and enjoyable. The trick is to try it at least once and experience for yourself the wonders of touch. Come and visit Massage Envy at Brandon today and see the difference a little massage therapy can make.
