Everyone loves the idea of having a massage after a long stressful day. However, apart from the widely known benefits of massage in Pickerington which includes helping to relax and energize the body, there are other important medical benefits and we reveal them all here today.
Massage Helps against Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a medical complication that consists of a chronic pain in the muscle. Other characteristics of fibromyalgia include fatigue. The symptoms of this medical complication include insomnia and extreme body weakness. But a way to go about the curing fibromyalgia is by massages. Massage has proven to be effective in the treatment of this complication, as it helps to ease body pains, muscle discomforts as well as the occasional spasm suffered by the patients. Massage is always recommended and even prescribed as the most effective way of solving this complication, even more, effective than any kind of medication.
Relaxation for Surgical Patients
Have you noticed that after a surgical operation, medical practitioners usually advise that you undergo post-surgical rehabilitation? Massage can be used for rehabilitation after a surgical operation as it helps to make sure that the muscles are relaxed. This would eventually aid the movement of various body parts, as well as blood circulation and flexibility. Another advantage of massage is that it helps in the rebuilding of the tissues that have been affected by the surgery. Post-surgical swelling and adhesions can also be reduced by an effective message.
Massage Improves Mood
Massage can help you be in a good mental state, hence improving your mood. This can help against depression as well as anxiety. Medical research has proven that the reason behind this is that massage helps to reduce the stress hormone of the body by almost 50%. Besides, there are also hormones in the body responsible for feeling good, and massage helps to increase these hormones.
Massage Reduces Blood Pressure
Massage has also helped patients suffering from blood pressure to recover quickly. High blood pressure can lead to other health complications like stroke and cardiac arrest, especially for old age patients. So for these patients who undergo massage, they become less susceptible to these complications.
Massage Helps in Back pain
Massage has also proven to be useful in the treatment of back pain issues. And, this is why most patients suffering from spinal issues opt for a massage. It has also proven to be more effective than other back pain treatment therapies such as spinal modification and acupuncture. It can also be used by patients who do not want to use painkillers due to its side effects.
Massage Increases Flexibility
This is important for athletes and people having physical disabilities. Undergoing massage regularly can help to maintain motion, and also helping in the movement of muscles and tissues as well as tendons and ligaments. This is done majorly by helping to retain the body lubricants.
Massage in Pickerington can be done by ordering a spa service, or in medical situations, it can be done by a physiotherapist.

Having a massage is not just relaxing, it also presents a range of health benefits – especially if done on a consistent basis. Massage enhances blood, and lymphatic circulation calms the nervous systems and helps with pain management including muscle spasms, sciatica, and arthritis.
Although massage is known to have lots of health and physical benefits, we don’t get it as frequently as we should; maybe because of busy schedules or budgetary issues. Unfortunately, getting a massage once in a long cannot deliver the kind of result that one expects. (more…)

Reflexology has been considered an alternative healing method for centuries—although it has been recognized for its potential much longer. Reflexology operates under the knowledge that everything in our body is connected to certain sensitive points. Our entire nervous system can be manipulated from our feet, hands, and other centralized portions of the body. This means that regardless of what’s wrong, the appropriate amount of pressure can help to alleviate the problem. This doesn’t necessarily replace doctors, but it gives them an entirely new arsenal of treatment options. Some people consider reflexology to be nothing more than a creative foot massage—this couldn’t be further from the truth. It requires an extremely detailed understanding of what the person is experiencing, and how it can be reached through the practice of pressure and touch. Many people report excellent results after only one session. This is usually for acute injuries or slight aches and pains. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with having frequent maintenance treatments done. This can help you to stay on top of any issues, and to improve your overall health. (more…)

You might feel it’s “rude” to not speak to the therapist, but your mission is really to get the most possible out of your massage. To get the most out of your massag, it works really well to treat it as “meditation”. First, clear your mind. Then focus on the feelings in each muscle as your therapist is working them. Try to see the feelings in your muscles as colors and make the feelings of the massage the only thing in your mind. You will be blown away how good you will feel and the total relaxation that will follow.
2. Tell the therapist what you need
Your therapist is 100% focused is on making it the best possible massage experience for you. If he/she is really good, they will find your sore spots. However, if you tell about your problems before you start, they will be able to focus on those areas right away, and you’ll get so much more out of the massage. Also, make sure to tell if it’s too light or to deep (hard). Giving the feedback will make sure the massage is exactly what you want.
3. Make sure you’re comfortable
Is the room too cold or too hot? Are you comfortable on the table? This is your time, so speak up. Trying to be polite will make your experience less than great, and you’ll be less likely to come back.
4. Hydrate afterwards
One hour or more of full body massage will push a lot of toxins out of your system. Make sure to drink at least 16oz water within 30 minutes of finishing your massage. This will help your body flush things out and you’ll feel so much better!
5. Maybe some ice?
If your therapist did a lot of deep tissue work at a particular area. Ask them if they recommend icing the area in the evening. Sometimes, that will get you even better results if you have inflamed muscles.

Finding the right massage therapist for you is harder than you might think. At first, when you get a massage it just feels so great and luxurious to receive continues massage for one hour or longer! However, as you have received massage several times, it’s similar to becoming a wine connoisseur. You start to see that different therapist have very different styles, and your job is to figure out who would be the perfect one for you. Here is a short list of techniques and what to expect:
Soft/medium pressure Swedish relaxation massage
Swedish massage is the basic massage style. It follows a certain movement process over each muscle group on your body. The stroking style of Swedish massage should never be painful. Instead, you should pretty much just feel spoiled. Even though it’s mainly relaxing, it will still help your muscles relax and it does wonders for the soul!
Sports, Deep Tissue and Trigger Point Massage
Here is where it gets trickier. There is a fine line between when the deep tissue feels like “good pain” and when it doesn’t. Sadly enough, many therapist seems to believe the harder they push, the better it is. If on top of it, they use their elbows, you might actually get seriously hurt. My advice is to not let a therapist go super deep the first time you use them. Then, as they learn to know you and your body, you may allow them to get more intense. However, injury risk of using elbows (also called “Rolfing”) is quite real. I would just tell every therapist that you don’t want that.
Cupping massage
Cupping is not really massage, but it can be very effective for healing and pain control. The therapist will put vacuum cups on your pain areas and leave them there for a few minutes. There are good news and bad news… Good news, you’ll feel instant pain reduction and it will usually last several days. The bag news, you’ll be black and blue wherever you had the cups. No more short sleeve clothes for the next week…
Back walk, zone therapy, and/or acupressure
These are all massage techniques borrowed from far eastern medicine. The back walk sounds scary, but it’s actually even less painful than a normal deep tissue massage, because the therapist is able to spread a the pressure over a larger area. Zone therapy works on energy zones around the body all stimulated on your feet. Acupressure is like acupuncture, but using gentle hands instead of painful needles. All these therapies are for you who want to try something different.
