Pure Massage Pain Relief

Trigger Points also  known as Contraction Knots, can often be found in taunt often painful bands of contracted muscle tissue.  Sometimes a newly formed knot can be located and treated in one or two Therapeutic Massage sessions, especially if you're not experiencing pain or mobility issues.  This type of non - active Trigger Point is usually casually found by the massage therapist during a classic relaxation massage session, in fact in my experience most clients are unaware that knot exists. 

 This is why regular users of massage understand that they are investing in their health, by choosing a natural way to help them feel better, rather than reaching for that not so healthy choice that only serves as a distraction. When one is, or desires to becomes, mindful of their body's signs and feelings of discomfort, they're more apt to take action quickly to alleviate that discomfort and lean on healthy habits that will nourish them= Rest Breaks, Fluids, Healthy meals and gentle Stretches, rather than reaching for a pill to mask the muscle spasm.  

Staying mindful will help you to consider the perpetuating factors that can be causing your muscular aches and pain, and also help you stay injury free.  It's important to understand that muscles that are chronically hypertense are easily damaged, and often have many Active Trigger Points that cause a tremendous drag on the bodies structure during movement, and the low grade nagging constant pain is a constant drain on your energy.   It's important to know Dear Reader, that self- stretching muscles that house untreated active trigger points, will only cause that/those muscles to contract even more in defense.  Consider for instance that chronically tight muscles in your jaw and scalp can cause tension headaches and fractured teeth. 

To stay healthy, muscle tissue must be able to return to resting length for nourishment and recovery, Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy is an advanced Massage Therapy that's highly effective, hands on and conservative. My custom sessions are part treatment focused and are Infused with relaxation massage, this helps turn off your body's alarm by increasing oxygen naturally as your muscles relax.  This type of therapy, over time will help to restore your available muscle tone and lower the volume of your pain, in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle, less prone to injury.

- Having pain upon movement.

-Feeling depressed, or anxious.
