I can incorporate into your treatment; reflexology style, pressure point release and hypertonX which are all great modalities for allowing muscles to be released and reset.
Every BODY is unique and different. What’s your body’s stress and tension? Do you suffer at the end of day with muscular pain? Is it from physical exertion such as a sport or just hard physical work?
Cupping
Cupping is a type of alternative therapy that originated in China. Some studies believe it dates back to Ancient Egypt. It involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. The suction may facilitate healing with blood flow being stimulated.
Proponents also claim the suction helps facilitate the flow of “qi” in the body. Qi is a Chinese word meaning life force.
Cupping increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed. This may relieve muscle tension, which can improve overall blood flow and promote cell repair. It may also help form new connective tissues and create new blood vessels in the tissue.
People use cupping to complement their care for a host of issues and conditions.
Cupping can definitely compliment a remedial massage treatment.
Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage involves soft, long, kneading strokes, as well as light, rhythmic, tapping strokes, on topmost layers of muscles.
This is also combined with movement of the joints. By relieving muscle tension, Swedish therapy can be both relaxing and energizing. And it may even help after an injury
The goal of Swedish massage is to improve your circulation and promote relaxation through soothing your muscles.
It’s therefore quite different from deep tissue massage or sports massage. The techniques involve soft strokes over areas which are more prone to pain, or without much muscle coverage.
Remedial Massage
Remedial massage aims to treat muscles that are damaged, knotted, tense or immobile. Remedial massage is used to locate and support the repair of damaged areas of the body and speed up the body’s own healing processes.
Remedial massage uses a range of techniques to address issues such as aches, pains, stiffness, sports injuries and headaches.
Techniques may include deep-tissue massage, trigger-point therapy, acupressure, cupping and more. Although there may be some discomfort during, and soreness after an effective remedial massage, this should be at a minimum. The relief is worth it.
