Americans spend $50 billion to
treat—and prevent—lower back pain each year.

Here Are 4 Ways Massage Can Help...

1. Increased blood flow.
Increased blood flow is a known proponent of muscle recovery. Massage therapy helps improve general blood flow and reduces soreness.
Research also shows that massage therapy improves the vascular function in people who have and have not exercised, which suggests that the vascular benefits of massage may span beyond the recipient’s level of physical activity.

2. Decreased tension.
While muscle tension is needed by the body to maintain body posture and general movements, too much tension causes pain and muscle restriction, especially in the lower back and neck.

3. Increased endorphins.
Endorphins are the feel good chemicals in the brain. Research shows 15 minute massage can spark endorphins, creating up to 48 hours of their feel-good effects.

4. Heat application.
Superficial heat during massage is also recommended for lower back pain. Warm heat packs are ideal for massage services related to lower back pain. Providing circulation that will help bring nutrients and oxygen to the compromised muscle.
An estimated 85 percent of all American adults will experience some form of back pain during their lifetime. Lower back pain is also one of the leading causes of job disability in the world.

Understanding the 3 Phases of Muscle Healing.

Muscle mass accounts for 40-45 percent of total body weight, which makes it no surprise that muscle injuries can account for anywhere between 10-55 percent of all injuries. With such a prevalence of muscle-related injuries, it’s important to understand how muscles heal.

1. Destruction:

This phase starts when injury occurs, most likely by a contusion or strain. A contusion is a direct force to the muscle that causes injury, while a strain occurs when the muscle is subjected to excessive forces that lead to failure of the muscle fibers. During either type of injury, muscle fibers and small blood vessels tear, filling the injured area with blood. Contained within that blood are inflammatory cells that infiltrate the newly injured area. Amazingly, muscle tissue has a mechanism that “seals off” the injured area to make sure the destruction and subsequent repair phases only occur at the injured site.

2. Treatment Implications:

There are many treatments that are very successful. The effectiveness of Neuromuscular Therapy can be extremely effective. Neuromuscular Therapy is a highly specialized type of soft tissue therapy designed to relieve pain and return injured tissues to normal function. It utilizes specific, targeted soft tissue treatment, and self-care to eliminate the causes of most muscular aches and pains. It can provide long-term pain relief where other approaches have failed. Neuromuscular Therapy balances the nervous system with the muscular and skeletal systems and naturally brings the body back into alignment. It addresses postural/muscular imbalances and nerve entrapment.

3. Repair:

During this important phase, a cell called a macrophage is introduced into the injured site. A macrophage “eats” and “cleans away” the dead tissue and dry blood caused by the injury. Once this is complete, another cell – called a satellite cell – is released into the injured area. Satellite cells transform into myoblast cells, which group together to create new muscle fibers. However, unlike a broken bone that is repaired by regenerating only new bone, an injured muscle is not replaced with only new muscle fibers. Another cell, called a fibroblast, also produces connective tissue at the injured site. It is a combination of connective tissue and muscle fibers that repair the injured muscle. In addition, new blood vessels and nerves generate during this phase. This repair phase commonly is peaking about two weeks after injury.

What is Hyperbaric oxygen therapy?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment which enhances the body's natural healing process by inhalation of 100% oxygen in a total body chamber, where atmospheric pressure is increased and controlled. It is used for a wide variety of treatments usually as a part of an overall medical care plan.
Under normal circumstances, oxygen is transported throughout the body only by red blood cells. With HBOT, oxygen is dissolved into all of the body's fluids, the plasma, the central nervous system fluids, the lymph, and the bone and can be carried to areas where circulation is diminished or blocked. In this way, extra oxygen can reach all of the damaged tissues and the body can support its own healing process. The increased oxygen greatly enhances the ability of white blood cells to kill bacteria, reduces swelling and allows new blood vessels to grow more rapidly into the affected areas. It is a simple, non-invasive and painless treatment.

What are the benefits of HBOT?

It has long been known that healing many areas of the body cannot take place without appropriate oxygen levels in the tissue. Most illnesses and injuries occur, and often linger, at the cellular or tissue level. In many cases, such as: circulatory problems; non-healing wounds; adequate oxygen cannot reach the damaged area and the body's natural healing ability is unable to function properly. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy provides this extra oxygen naturally.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy improves the quality of life of the patient in many areas when standard medicine is not working. Many conditions such as stroke, cerebral palsy, head injuries, and chronic fatigue have responded favorably to HBOT.

Whiplash.

Getting rear-ended in traffic. Face-planting at the bottom of a ski slope. Tumbling over the handlebars on your bike. Whiplash comes in many forms.
The good news is, serious hyperextension (whiplash) injuries are in the minority, as whiplash usually comes in the less serious version of the injury. Fortunately, about 95 percent of the time whiplash tends to be more superficial damage, like slight muscle strains and tears. But whether the pain is minor soreness or serious discomfort, massage can provide relief and prevent chronic problems in the long run.
Unfortunately, it’s also an injury that many people don’t seek out treatment for. The most important thing you can do is to take your whiplash seriously and treat it as a medical condition that requires help from your doctor.

To Relieve Muscle Tension, Deeper is Not Always Better

To be clear, deep tissue massage at its best is a wonderful therapy. However, a great deal, possibly the majority, of deep tissue massage work is not being done or promoted in a way that has intellectual or therapeutic integrity.
It is assumed if you want, effective relief from muscle tension, deeper must be better. The false assumption underlying common deep tissue work is that to get a great therapeutic effect, therapists need to apply a lot of massage pressure. This is false because the relaxation of muscles is largely not a result of massage pressure; it is the result of the nervous system turning off the message for the muscle to be tight.

The benefits of Physical exercise and Massage to help eliminate toxins.

The benefits of physical exercise are countless, including an improved circulatory system and blood flow (Sweating is the natural detox mechanism of the body, helping eliminate toxins) that helps the other organs to process toxins.
In order to boost the natural detox system of the body, or the lymphatic system, massage is a great way to stimulate the energy of the body and boost blood circulation.

How Can CBD Help With Inflammation?

The simple answer is to change our diets and increase our Omega 3 index levels. CBD is long associated with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive qualities, and the clamor for this cannabinoid has increased significantly since the FDA has allowed it to be marketed as a food supplement.
The two main cannabinoid receptors in your nervous system are CB1 and CB2. While THC is more effective when dealing with CB1 (controls perception, mood, sleep, memory, and appetite), CBD has a greater impact on the CB2 receptor (affects the immune system).
Since inflammation is an ‘immune response,’ it is important for any compound to focus on the CB2 receptor to reduce inflammation. While CBD is not the only known cannabis compound to activate the CB2 receptor, it is the most abundant.
Inflammation is our body’s natural response to harmful cells and pathogens – it acts as a protective measure against the initial damage suffered by the immune system. Inflammation can be good and it can be bad. In the normal area you have an inflammation and that enhances healing. And so that’s the real purpose of inflammation, it serves the dual purpose of both healing and protection.

The individual should talk to a doctor first, start with the lowest doses possible, read the information available, and be an informed consumer.

Massage therapy has proven remarkably effective for stress relief. Decreasing cortisol and insulin levels while increasing calming serotonin and dopamine.
Encourages oxytocin release: Oxytocin is a stress reducing, bonding hormone most famous for its role in birthing. It helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system to slow down heart rate and breathing, relax musculature and improve digestion.
Increases endorphin release: Endorphins are pain reducing neurotransmitters. Anxiety created by stress can cause increase sensitivity to pain. Endorphins help stop transmission of pain signals.
Decrease Beta Brainwave activity: This leads to increase stimulated release of relaxing neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine as well as decreased release of cortisol levels.
Stimulates Delta Brainwave activity: This type of brain activity is one which facilitates deep sleep induction….explaining the natural tendency to dose off during your session.
