Massage as a therapy has been around for over 5,000 years. There are many different techniques, but the basic strategies include pressing, rubbing, and manipulating the muscles and soft tissues in the body. There are many methods of delivering massage, all with different benefits.
For example, a trained, licensed massage therapist often uses their hands, fingers, elbows, forearms, or feet to deliver pressure and massage tissues to deliver health benefits. There are also highly effective methods of massage in the comfort of your own home, such as sports massagers. Often, these massagers are foam rollers or hand held tools designed to reduce inflammation and tension and increase blood flow when used on specific muscle groups.
The Benefits of Massage
Because massage provides so many different benefits, it’s really got something to offer all types of people. Individuals with chronic low back pain, neck pain, or arthritis may find relief through massage. Some psychiatric issues, such as anxiety or depression, may be lessened through massage. Additionally, for athletes, massage can prepare for and help recover from workouts or heal athletic injuries. Massage can increase range of motion, help break up scar tissue, and increase circulation in sore or tight muscles.
