Why have a treatment?
Massage therapies have existed for a long time and have advanced in specialised techniques over the years. A hands-on technique performed by a skilled professional for both physical and mental clarity to improve skin tone, reduce pain, improve blood circulation, boost the immune system, manage pain, improve physical fitness, and stress management for mental health and well-being, according to the American Massage Therapy Association.
Methods used and practice techniques.
Massage therapies are not as simple as laying back and relaxing. Much thought, science and tradition go into the style and techniques behind the therapy. Eastern treatment balances the body's energy and meridians instead of targeting one issue the client may face. Eastern style investigates the root cause of the issue by promoting overall health and wellness.
The traditional Western technique requires a much longer duration and treatment plan from the practitioner, and it only addresses one particular pain or discomfort. However, the practitioner will assess and measure potential issues or weaknesses with the Eastern style.
The Eastern style is much more rigorous than the Western style. It applies deeper pressure and depends on therapies such as Graston, Cupping, or Bamboo techniques to expand the bruising that results from those treatments.
How Massage therapies can support you.
Massage therapies increase blood circulation to the targeted muscles, boosting the delivery of nutrients they need to function and disposing of the metabolic waste that causes pain and delayed recovery of those dedicated to sporting activities to become more active and functional.
Repetitive stationary positions, such as sitting or standing for long durations, can cause muscle fibres to become restricted and clogged together, resulting in adhesions. Adhesions restrict movement and, if untreated, can lead to muscle grouping or, secondarily, hypertonic and eventually painful muscles.
Mental health and well-being.
Massage therapies for mental health and well-being by improving sleep, relieving symptoms of depression and anxiety (Click for Research: Treatment effects of Massage therapy in depressed people: PubMed, National Library of Medicine), lowering stress levels, feeling fresh and energised, naturally increasing Serotonin and Dopamine both being neurotransmitters (also known as happy hormones) allowing for more mental calmness and a general overall feeling of well-being and connections by increasing Oxytocin. Oxytocin is a natural hormone made in the brain, having an essential role in sexual arousal, allowing people to recognise each other, promoting trust, building relationships and romantic attachment and promoting parent-infant bonding.
Why is Massage recommended for cancer patients, according to Cancer Research UK?
Cancer patients should get massages because they promote a feel-good mentality. Massages can also elevate mood, improve sleep, and enhance overall well-being, reducing stress, anxiety, headaches, and pain. However, it would be best to avoid any treatments until a Medical Doctor provides verbal confirmation.
Focusing on creating a stress-free environment where men can come to unwind and feel completely comfortable.
