➡ DO YOU HAVE NECK PAIN? HERE ARE 4 WAYS MASSAGE CAN HELP 💆‍♀

What Causes Neck Pain❓
An estimated 50 percent of adults report having neck pain each year.

People frequently come to massage businesses with the complaint of chronic neck pain.

A neck crick, a neck catch and spinal pain symptoms tend to blend together, so it can be extraordinarily difficult to parcel out if the cause is a slight spine malfunction, muscular or structural displacement, or mental anxiety that may be amplifying the pain.

➡ Some of the most common causes of true neck pain include:

🔘Compression sprains
🔘Aggressive joint popping
🔘Whiplash

➡ Massage for Neck Pain: How it Helps

1⃣ Massage around the client’s spine can be soothing as the muscles that surround the cervical spine may alleviate tension within the neck.

Moreover, any amount of touch and relaxation massage for neck pain may be beneficial.

Much of neck pain is chronic, and those who suffer from it may experience constant anxiety and excessive sympathetic nervous system activity in response to the pain.

2⃣ While there is certainly validity to the approach of massaging the neck area that is sore or distressed, there are also theories that suggest different areas of the body are connected to others, such as the lower back being connected to the feet, so overall attention to the spine in general is important.

Research shows the client’s emotional and physical health before experiencing a trauma like a car accident or sports injury has a lot do with how much pain they will experience afterwards.

3⃣ This is part of the general belief in the power of prevention: massage for neck pain is not just for pain management, but for reducing the need for it before a trauma or accident even happens.

At one time, this emphasis on pre-trauma health was assumptive but now is increasingly based on research and evidence.

Research shows “The greatest predictors of persistent neck pain following a motor vehicle collision relate to psychological distress and aspects of pre-collision health rather than to various attributes of the collision itself.”

4⃣ Massage sessions scheduled at regular intervals will have the biggest benefit on neck pain.

✅ Additional Benefits

Aside from neck pain relief, receiving massage therapy regularly can also help in improving your posture and flexibility, reducing blood pressure, increasing your range of motion, promoting relaxation and relieving stress.

⭐ Anti-Aging - 5 Benefits of a Facial Massage ⭐

Just like the rest of your body, facial muscles require exercise to keep you looking younger (sorry to add to your workout routine!).

1⃣ Relieves tension.

When the muscles on your face tense up, they are more likely to harbour wrinkles, which is why they need to be massaged out regularly.

All it takes is 1 to 2 minutes per day to relax. However the length of time for a facial massage required depends on your skin type.

2⃣ Increases circulation.

Just like how you would massage a tender shoulder or back, your face muscles require the same TLC.

Increase blood and oxygen flow to the face by massaging the soft lines around the mouth, eyes and brows.

3⃣ It’s a natural facelift.

Stimulating the face muscles with regular massage helps to bring oxygen to that area—which is a natural form of anti aging skin care in itself.

More blood flow to the area increases collagen production, which gives a healthy and natural glow to the complexion.

4⃣ Allows face products to absorb better into the skin.

Increase the effectiveness of your facial treatments by incorporating a massage into your at-home skin care routine. Spend a few minutes with yourself.

At night, cleanse skin, and apply your serum and moisturizer with gentle tapping motions. It helps the product absorb more easily into the skin.

5⃣ You’ll look younger!

Depending on the condition of your skin, your age, skin care goals and budget, regular facial treatments—that incorporate some form of muscle stimulation through massage—work in combination with daily skin care to improve the overall appearance of your skin: anywhere from once a month (for normal to dry skin) to every two weeks (for combination or acne-prone skin) is recommended.

⭐ Facial massage is the ultimate key to any facial.

One of the most beautiful and enjoyable parts of a facial is a massage.

It helps to reduce inflammation, water retention, stimulate blood circulation, oxygenation of the skin, stimulate collagen, improve skin's elasticity and overall decreases stress.

One of the things that machines cannot replace a loving touch of a facial massage.

Also, not every aesthetician is the same as we all have different enery, touch, pressure and techniques that will elevate you into a deep level of relaxation.

Most of our daily activities, such as writing, typing on the computer and driving, can cause stress on the body.

Companies like Google offer their employees regular massage treatments because it lessens employee stress which improves overall job satisfaction.

✅ Strengthens immune system.

To find a massage session beneficial, people must choose the technique that best suits their needs.

An accredited massage therapist will be able to offer further advice and guidance.

Relaxing Spa Music, Calming Music Relaxation

⭐🎼 Music, Mood, and Massage Therapy 🎼⭐

I take great care in choosing what I surround myself and my clients with while in my studio.

It is essential to set the right mood and create a relaxing environment.

I feel that music is a fantastic mood booster and can help calm stressful activity in the brain.

According to Kim Innes, a professor of epidemiology at West Virginia University’s School of Public Health, “Music seems to “selectively activate” neurochemical systems and brain structures associated with positive mood, emotion regulation, attention, and memory in ways that promote beneficial changes.”

⭐🎼 Calming Effects of Music 🎼⭐

Music can have extremely positive effects on mental health. More and more studies are surfacing that show positive effects in seniors with early signs of Alzheimer’s and dementia.

The right sounds and tempos can help reduce the frustration associated with forgetfulness and leave these patients feeling calm and at ease.

Music also benefits younger people who have issues with chronic stress management and anxiety.

Studies have shown that music can help fight off depression and improve your mood.

Choosing music with slow tempos and gradual chord progressions is excellent for calming a busy mind.

According to Time Magazine, music can also improve blood flow and lower your levels of stress-related hormones like cortisol.

Now I know in this fast-paced world we want to multi-task, but listening to calming music while you check your email or scroll through your news feed will not be effective.

You have to eliminate outside distractions to truly feel the benefits of relaxing music.

For a calmer state of mind stick to natural sounds, soothing piano, meditative or classical music.

I curate the music in my massage studio based on what I think will benefit the overall wellness of my client.

⭐ 🎼 Massage Therapy and Music 💆‍♀⭐

I feel that the connection between mind and body is a huge part of why massage therapy is so effective.

I want what I choose to play for my clients to add to their healing. I like to use soft, gentle sounds that ease them into a serene state of mind.

I want every one of my clients to leave feeling relaxed and at peace, so I make it clear that my clients can request a change in music.
The right environment can definitely calm a wandering mind and evoke emotional healing.

✅ 💆‍♀️How Massage Helps Relieve Arthritis Symptoms?

Studies show that deep tissue massage can help alleviate many painful conditions, including pain associated with osteoarthritis, neck and low back pain. But why exactly does massage work so well for easing arthritis pain?

According to Susan Bernstein, the former Vice President of the Arthritis Foundation, massage can reduce arthritis pain and symptoms by improving underlying conditions like sleeplessness and stress.

Bernstein notes that “…massage can lower the body’s production of the stress hormone cortisol, and boost production of serotonin, which, in turn, can improve mood.

Additionally, massage can lower production of the neurotransmitter substance P, often linked to pain, and improve sleep as a result.” 😴

So for example, a restful sleep as a result of a massage may decrease arthritis pain the following day.

When a person with arthritis has a flare, particularly if most of the pain at that time is in the muscles and tendons rather than directly in the joints, then massage can help.

Rather than taking more anti-inflammatory medication, massage may be able to relieve some of the pain by receiving focused massage on the muscles that are compromised due to the constant pain.

For those with arthritis, it makes sense to go beyond just relaxation by requesting targeted massage on the muscles surrounding their most problematic joints.

Focusing work on the hands, wrists, and other affected joints can ease the pain, increase flexibility, and increase grip strength, according to research.

Studies show that for arthritis sufferers, massage can also help increase their independence by allowing them to return to normal daily activities following regular massage.

This translates to reduced depression and anxiety related to their chronic pain.

You should always do things that make your arthritis symptoms feel better, not worse.

So once you find a massage therapist whose approach relieves your pain, stick with it to see continued results.

A highly trained massage therapist knows the right methods to use to get pain relief and reduce joint stiffness quickly for those with arthritis.

Which Types of Massage are Best for Back Pain?

✅. Trigger point myotherapy

Also known as neuromuscular therapy, this form of massage is widely recognized as the most effective for lower back pain and soft tissue injury.

Trigger point myotherapy involves using alternating levels of concentrated pressure on identified areas of muscle spasm.
Pressure is usually applied using the knuckles, fingers or elbows and is sustained for periods of ten to thirty seconds.

This form of massage therapy works by relaxing spasming muscles, allowing the release of stored lactic acid and the return of blood and oxygen flow to the area.

The initial result of such a massage may be some temporary soreness, but it should dramatically reduce back pain and increase movement within 24 hours.

✅. Swedish Massage

One of the most popular forms of physical therapy and one that people most associate with the term massage, this particular form aims to promote general relaxation and relieve any pain.

Swedish massage works by applying gentle force to the affected back area to create a release of muscle tension. It's a technique which focuses on total mental and physical relief.

It combines gentle hand pressure and muscle manipulation with the application of essential oils to promote full body recovery.

✅. Deep tissue massage

Deep tissue or sports massage uses many of the same techniques as swedish massage. However, as is implied in the name, the pressure applied goes much deeper into the muscle, often as far down as the bone.

This technique helps to release tightly knotted muscles and scar tissue that could be the root of chronic back pain.

The massage itself may be quite uncomfortable and you can expect to feel sore for a few days following.

However it is very effective at relieving stiff painful neck and back muscles.

✔ Finding the best massage for you.

Massage therapy can be an important part of the treatment and rehabilitation of those suffering from back complaints.

It is therefore essential that the therapy received is of the highest quality and performed according to industry standards.
