Soft Tissue Massage
Soft tissue massage helps to improve overall flexibility and lower the chances of having muscle injury. This type of massage involves stretching the muscle fibers, promoting flexibility and maintaining it. You are left feeling relaxed at the end of a very busy and stressful day.
The whole idea of soft tissue massage is relieving and preventing pain, improving range of motion, optimizing spinal adjustments, aiding in muscle recovery, and enhancing physical functions. Once you undergo several sessions, you will feel a heightened sense of well-being and health.
One of the strongest aspects of Soft tissue therapy is that it aims to make a big improvement in symptoms in the first treatment. Clinically we see this 95% of the time.
Pain Reduction
Known to be an effective way to alleviate muscular pain, whether it is caused by injury, overwork / sport etc… Soft tissue massage helps you deal with pain effectively, so you feel less pain and are able to perform your tasks better.
Improved Flexibility
Helps to improve overall flexibility and lower the chances of having muscle injury. Soft Tissue Massage stretches the muscle fibers, promoting and maintaining flexibility.
Better Circulation
Intense training cycles or having a lot of work causes microscopic damage known as micro-trauma to fascial tissues and muscles. In order to repair this damage, increased blood flow or nourishment is necessary to the affected areas. Soft tissue massage therapy helps improve circulation, enhancing your performance levels. According to research, this type of massage has great impact not only in blood circulation but also in lymphatic circulation, which means better removal of waste from the affected muscles and more oxygen and food supply.
Decreased Tension
Muscle relaxation is important for one’s well-being. Sometimes stress can get the better of you, making relaxing difficult. With regular soft tissue massage, you can easily learn to relax your mind and body and improve your overall performance.
Sleep Improvement
Soft Tissue Massage can help improve your sleep, and in turn improve your bodies recovery processes. This form of massage reduces that tension, promoting deeper, longer sleep and the many benefits that go with it.
