You've probably heard that deep tissue massage is the best massage therapy for injuries, pain relief, and sports-related ailments. Research shows that back pain is the most common reason for absenteeism. The main reason for not being able to work is back pain. No wonder deep tissue massage is the most requested service at Sophia's Health Massage.
We know deep tissue massage is effective and our customers love it. Today we would like to share with you some benefits of deep tissue massage that may surprise you.
The 5 Most Surprising Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage:
1. Improved Blood Pressure
Deep tissue massage has a powerful and taming effect on mental stress and physical stress. Many people actually see their overall blood pressure drop after getting a massage. In addition to relieving stress and tension, deep tissue massage also stimulates serotonin, which is the hormone that makes you happy. After doing one of these stress-relieving and energiSing massages, you're sure to walk with energy and less anxiety once your blood pressure is lower.
2. Increased Muscle Strength and Flexibility.
The deep tissue massage technique stretches muscle fibers by hand, helping to increase flexibility. For athletes and non-athletes alike, tight muscles inhibit strengthening and circulation. To increase or build your strength, help your muscles relax and expand for the best results. Overstretched, overworked, and underused muscles leave the body vulnerable to weakness and injury. We recommend regular deep tissue massage as it promotes balanced muscle building and flexibility.
3. Better Sleep.
We all know that a good night's rest produces clearer thinking, healing, recovery, and improved optimal health. Unfortunately, too many adults don't get enough sleep. Lack of sleep leads to a host of health problems. Nutrition and exercise are essential for a good night's sleep, but deep tissue massage has been reported to actually improve sleep quantity and quality.
4. Weight Loss.
We love this! Studies show that deep tissue massage improves metabolism and reduces fat. Massage in the area accumulates a lot of fat and it will break down the fat stores, making this fat ready to be absorbed inside the body. Deep tissue massage promotes lymphatic flow and circulation and also aids in detoxification and weight loss. Combined with a good exercise program and a natural diet, massage can help reduce excess fat and weight in your body.
5. Emotional Healing
Many people say they have released their emotions, cried a lot, and changed their minds and energy, while the body was deeply working. Past experiences and traumas are not only stored in our minds and memories, but also in our bodies. Massage not only helps with physical pain but also helps with emotional pain. You don't have to worry about feeling overexposed or out of place if this happens. Massage therapists are trained to maintain a safe and confidential space where their clients can release and heal.
