While most people likely see massage as some kind of indulgence, what we’re learning about this powerful tool is changing our perception of massage therapy — it’s not only beneficial, but a legitimate way to help treat chronic pain (along with appropriate medical care) and increase mobility for those that may find it hard to get up to their normal, everyday activities.
That’s because a massage therapist in Temecula can go well beyond traditional massage that may only superficially deal with pain into real muscle release therapy.
Unlike conventional massage therapy (deep tissue, swedish, or basic trigger point), muscle release therapy is a viable pain management approach for Temecula residents that want real and lasting relief, not just a comfortable half hour of massage.
Instead of working “knots” out of the muscles, Release Muscle Therapy focuses on restoring normal balance in connective tissue surrounding your muscles and bones.
By maintaining pressure on these sensitive areas for minutes at a time, a massage therapist can help release any restrictions that exist, helping to increase your range of motion and reducing any associated pain.
Through stretching and softening the connective tissue, along with sedating overly sensitive nerves, muscle release therapy is a great option for athletes and anyone that wants to reduce muscle soreness and increase flexibility.
For those that are recovering from a recent surgery or injury and have already done physical therapy, massage therapy may also reduce adhesion and scar tissue development, compressing the recovery period as well as reducing associated pain.
Like conventional therapy, neuromuscular therapy techniques also help calm the nervous system and help your body heal, which can also decrease the effects of physical and emotional stress on the body.
When you do get back out there for training or just to get a proper workout in, you’ll also experience shorter warm-up times due to increased blood flow and tissue hydration, as well as reducing soreness and pain post-exercise.
