A large number of people receive massage treatments regularly and each person will have their own specific reasons for doing so. Some people like to be pampered or feel less stressed after a hard day at work. Other people seek massage treatment for specific resolution or reduction of aches and pains. However, a large number of people, even if they receive massage treatments regularly, do not really understand the benefits of regular massage and the means by which massage achieves its goals. Therefore, in this article, I aim to highlight the advantages and benefits of having regular massage treatment. In addition, I describe the mechanisms by which massage therapy restores health after an injury.
The benefits of having a regular massage
When I apply massage, I try to affect the patient on 3 levels: Structural, fluid and energy. A properly applied massage should be a pleasant experience that leaves the patient relaxed, relaxed and energized. A effective massage should be tailored to the specific needs of the patient rather than following a routine of specific movements. Likewise, a practitioner of Competent massage will use a variety of techniques and positions to target muscles and joints in the most effective way possible.
Although therapists offering a basic qualification are suitable for a general massage – let’s say to relive pain General, it is important to seek out a restorative massage therapist if you need resolution of a specific pain or injury. Generally, only the most qualified therapists are trained to diagnose and treat specific problems and have the required training to acquire the knowledge necessary to identify dysfunctional tissues and formulate an effective treatment routine.
Typically, a highly trained massage therapist uses a wide range of techniques to stretch tissues, stimulate and relax the nervous system, lymphatic drainage, increase blood circulation and break up knots in muscles. In addition, a qualified therapist will massage the face down, face up and to the side. These positions allow the therapist to more effectively target specific muscles rather than just doing a facial massage down.

One of the most effective treatments for correcting and maintaining correct posture.
A competent massage therapist will be able to perform a postural analysis and determine which muscles are short and which are long. Treatment will include a comprehensive assessment of the type of work and sport we do. From there, the massage therapist will be able to identify which muscles are likely to be overused and need to be targeted in massage treatment. Targeted massage helps stretch shortened muscles, which helps normalize posture. Additionally, the massage therapist will usually suggest targeted home exercises to strengthen weakened muscles.
Sometimes muscles are shortened due to “knots” that build up in the muscle fibers. A competent massage therapist will be able to palpate these knots and apply specific targeted techniques to break them up. This will allow the muscle to function at its optimal level, increase blood supply to the entire muscle and promote more efficient elimination of waste products.
In addition to normalizing posture, regular massage promotes increased circulation throughout the body. The massage therapist usually applies long movements of massage fluids in the direction of muscle fibers. This compresses the tissue and forms a “bow wave” of compression that travels longitudinally along the direction of the muscle. This promotes blood circulation in the body as well as generic stretching of muscle fibers and surrounding tissues. This is especially important in people who have a relatively inactive lifestyle.
Massage therapy is a very effective treatment for treating injuries.
In the short term after the injury, the massage therapist will help reduce pain and discomfort by reducing inflammation around the injured area. Afterward, the massage therapist can design a treatment and rehabilitation plan to promote faster recovery and ensure that range of motion is not lost in the injured joint during healing.
So, over time, especially with regular treatment, the massage therapist builds a complete structural image of the client’s body. Thus, the massage therapist is able to identify potential problems that could give rise to injuries in the future. Many injuries often result from immobility that builds up from injuries that have not healed properly or from the buildup of stiff tissue around a joint over time. A massage therapist is able to spot this problem and restore range of motion before a serious problem occurs. For athletes, this is even more important as injuries become more common as athletes push their bodies to the limits of their physical design.
Conclusion & Opinion
Therefore, regular massage is more than just correction of structural defects. It is about maintaining health, increasing awareness of the client’s body (to the client), and maintaining energy levels so that the client can perform optimally in their daily life.
A major problem with massage therapy is that it is not regulated in some countries. This means it can be difficult to find an effective and safe therapist. In countries where massage therapy is not regulated, the best advice I can give you is to check the qualifications of the therapist. Additionally, most therapists will be registered with one or more professional organizations and it is worth checking the professional body’s registration requirements.
Just like we take our cars to the garage for regular checks and maintenance, it is wise to do the same with our bodies. Regular massage can be seen as a kind of health check for our body – keeping our body healthy and acting as an early warning system for potential problems.
