Can Deep Tissue Massage Help With Chronic Pain Management?

Chronic Pain Management with Deep Tissue Massage

Massage therapy has been shown to be effective at treating several different types of chronic pain conditions including arthritis, fibromyalgia, and even migraine headaches. In this blog post, we’ll look at how massage therapy works for these types of conditions as well as what other benefits it can provide for people living with chronic pain issues.

A lot of people who live with chronic pain are hesitant to seek out massage therapy. They worry that it’s going to be too painful or else that it will make them feel worse (instead of giving them any relief at all). But these fears aren’t always accurate. For example, Massage therapy is reported to be effective at treating both migraine headaches and arthritis pain. That’s because massage can help reduce stress (which may trigger attacks in those living with migraines) as well as promote circulation, joint flexibility and muscle relaxation (all of which can help improve symptoms).

Massage therapy is a way to relax and begin working on specific areas possibly causing discomfort or pain. It’s also been shown to improve overall mood and reduce stress which can worsen chronic pain. Read further to understand more about the benefits of massage for these conditions:

What Causes Back Pain?

Back pain is the most common cause of chronic pain in the world. Every time you bend over to pick up something heavy or bend over to put shoes on, your body remembers the pain and responds in kind. While it may be years since any incident first caused an injury, picking up anything heavy or stressful moments in life can trigger a painful response from your body.

Why Good Posture Is Important For Back Pain Prevention

While it is important to have good posture, it’s even more important to think about the way you lift. The most common type of injury to occur at work is back pain, and a large part of that is due to bad lifting technique, or chronically poor posture. Taking a few minutes to review your posture, keeping an eye on your own form can help you avoid injuries or accidents in the workplace by helping you prevent strain on your back, legs, or neck

Why Is Deep Tissue Massage Important For Pain?

Additionally, massage is an excellent remedy for chronic pain. Firstly, massage relaxes muscles, which helps to reduce tightness and discomfort. Secondly, massage can help increase blood flow to the affected area. This helps to reduce inflammation and improve the circulation of nutrients to the affected area. Furthermore, massage can improve the range of motion, making it easier to perform everyday activities. Lastly, massage releases endorphins, which work to reduce the intensity of pain. Therefore, massage is an effective treatment for chronic pain.

    Such a lovely experience from beginning to end. The lobby was beautifully decorated with plants, and Mason greeted me with such warmth. The table vibrates with music and is so comfortable and warm. The weighted blankets helped me feel so … More cozy and relaxed. The technique and grounded presence Mason offers is excellent. I especially enjoyed the warm scented towel on my face and neck at the end of the massage. So rejuvenating and relaxing. I felt calm and peaceful. Wholeheartedly recommend!

    Mason is awesome! I just had an amazing massage experience and loved it. He attentively addressed the tension spots in my body and worked through them. The massage table vibrates synced up to the meditative music which was sooo relaxing … More and helped me be super dropped into the moment. The weighted blanket and the warm scented towels were another highlight. Highly recommend. Thank you, Mason!

    Entering the space I immediately felt calm, the lighting and ambiance was perfect for relaxing. The warmth, low light and wooden ceiling made me feel like I was in a sauna. Mason greeted me and made me feel comfortable as we entered the … More massage room. The bed was heated, with weighted blanket and calming music vibrated the entire bed. I melted away as mason massaged my whole body, taking care to leave me mostly covered under the warm blanket the entire time. He also used heated towels and a wonderful essential oil blend. I felt truly relaxed and my whole body vibrated with warmth and comfort. Would definitely come back again!

    Wow! Walking into Immerse Modern Massage, my entire body immediately relaxed right at the front door. The aromatherapy is so intoxicating and soothing, and the ambiance is very nice. Walking into the treatment room was even better. They … More really did such a good job with the place! Not to mention the massage table! Omg, it felt so incredible to be sandwiched in between healing frequencies, warmth, and high vibrations. I can’t wait to go back!!! I was impressed to say the least.

    Wow! My massage with Mason was healing on so many levels! He addressed the spots of tension and diligently worked to remind my muscles that it’s okay to relax. He was very attentive to my needs and comfort.
    Immerse is definitely an appropriate
    … More name for this space as you are enveloped in delightfully warm infrared heat (through amethyst crystals!), the soothing sounds of a waterfall, and a sound bath of vibrations coming directly from the table!
    The thoughtful intention put in to making Immerse Modern Massage the healing environment that is it is apparent and very much appreciated!
