What Kind of Conditions Can Massage Help?

Massage is recognized as a legitimate therapy for the following painful conditions.

• Post-operative pain.
• Neck pain.
• Headaches.
• Lower back pain.
• Arthritic pain, especially osteoarthritis in the knee.
• Cancer-related pain.
• Fibromyalgia pain, stiffness, and fatigue.

This is how massages help relieve pain

Massage therapy manages to reduce pain and the stress level of pain through a powerful combination of several mechanisms.
It doesn’t only focus on relieving the tension from muscles, tendons, and joints, but it also reduces stress and anxiety caused by pain, which together may help close “the pain gate” helping improve the quality of life.

• Massage prevents pain sensation from traveling to the central nervous system by stimulating computing nerve fibers.
• Massages help relieve stress and anxiety that contribute to muscle tension.
• Relaxes pain-carrying tendons, muscles, and joints.
• Massages may even help reduce the amount of pain medication needed.

Types of Massage Treatments Can Help With Pain

Each type of pain will require a different approach, for example, people suffering from fibromyalgia will most likely need a lighter touch to help reduce stiffness, and those whose pain derives from old injuries may need a more targeted massage technique.

For this reason, body assessment must be done by your massage therapist during your first session.

Here are a few techniques that can be helpful.

Swedish Massage

Swedish Scape Massage can help improve circulation and help release the tension in stiff muscles that may be causing pain.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage is an intense form of massage that releases chronic patterns of tension in the body by targeting the deep layers in the muscle and the connective tissue. These areas can be hard to reach for those with chronic pain, that’s why this kind of massage is so helpful.

These massages can help, but the most effective pain relief method is:
Pain Management Technique developed at Clinical Massage & Spa Aruba — The Only Pain Management Clinic in Aruba.

This specific Pain Management therapy mixes neurological techniques with targeted joint and tissue mobilization to reverse the effects of chronic dysfunction.
