What are the benefits of Massage Therapy?
Many people think of it as a luxury, but massage is much more than simple relaxation. The therapeutic benefits of massage continue to be studied, but research has shown it to be effective in:
What types of Massage Therapy are offered at The Reiki Center? Relaxation and Restorative Massage What is “Relaxation” Massage? Relaxation massage is usually a gentle Swedish massage that uses smooth, gliding strokes to help you relax. The massage therapist will move at a slower pace and use light to firm pressure. In a relaxation massage, there is less emphasis on therapeutic work (Tight neck, shoulder, etc), and more emphasis on a simple massage that lets you drift away and feel good. Types of Relaxation Massage at TRC Simple Relaxation This massage is designed specifically to help you escape the day’s stressors. It is beneficial for people dealing with stress, anxiety, and many other issues. Use this massage to help you rebuild your defenses or just give yourself a brief escape. Therapeutic Relaxation Similar to relaxation, the goal of this massage is to help you relax. However, with this massage, your therapist is able to help work out some issues affecting your musculature: for instatnce, a tight, sore neck or hips that need some help. Generally speaking, a 90-minute massage is best for this, giving you the best of both worlds – therapy with relaxation. During a Therapeutic Relaxation massage, pressure will remain light to firm, so that no part of the therapy detracts from the relaxation.

According to Healthline, an online health journal (https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/cbd-oil-benefits#section1) CBD oil has been studied for its potential role in easing symptoms of many common health issues, including pain reduction, anxiety, depression, acne and heart disease. For those with cancer, it may even provide a natural alternative for pain and symptom relief ..... Results from recent studies suggest that CBD may provide a safe, powerful natural treatment for many health issues."

What is Oncology Massage? Oncology Massage is touch, simple touch, used by therapists to help cancer patients overcome some of the trauma of their care. It is non-invasive, compassionate, and performed by practitioners well-versed in methods that can help overcome many of the side-effects, stress, and anxiety that come with cancer treatment. When so much of the patient’s treatment centers around pokes and sticks and invasive procedures, massage can help the patient remember that touch can also be gentle. How is Oncology Massage Different from “Regular” Massage? Oncology massage is generally light-touch, with slow steady movements designed to help calm the central nervous system, and promote deepened relaxation. Further, if lymph nodes have been removed during any necessary surgery, your Oncology Massage Therapist will understand how best to work with your limbs in order to avoid lymphedema.

Hot Stone Massage
What is a Hot Stone Massage? During a Hot Stone Massage, warm, smooth stones are used to gently relax sore, tired muscles. The stones may be placed on significant portions of your body – such as along your spine, or in other areas with tense muscles – while the therapist uses other stones to conduct the massage. Most stones used are basalt, which heat up evenly, and retain their heat for significant periods of time. What are the benefits of a Hot Stone Massage? Aside from feeling wonderful, a Hot Stone Massage also helps relieve muscle tension and muscle pain. The heat of the stones allows muscles to more easily and naturally relax, allowing greater depth to be worked with less effort. Furthermore, Hot Stone Massage can greatly increase the relaxing benefits of massage; the combination of heat with knowledgeable strokes often results in a deeper sense of rest and relaxation. Some of the benefits associated with Hot Stone Massage Include:

What is Neuromuscular Therapy? Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) refers to a few different things, among them assessment of physical issues and the development of a treatment plan to treat them. NMT’s look specifically at the brain-body connection and seek treatments that address both of these points. Some of the techniques used can include Myofascial Release and Trigger Point Therapy. Deep Tissue Deep Tissue Massage is a technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the fibers of the muscles, tendons and fascia. The purpose is to retrain the fibers of a muscle while releasing deeply-held patters of tension, removing toxins, while relaxing and soothing the muscle. It is both corrective and therapeutic. Trigger Point Neuromuscular (Trigger Point) Massage is a successful therapy for pain relief. The techniques used very specifically target knots in muscle and other related tissues that trigger pain. Direct pressure within the clients’s comfort zone is applied to the points, helping them to release painful holding patterns. It is an excellent choice in treating acute or chronic tension, pain or injury. Medical Massage Medical Massage addresses specific medical conditions. Usually the treatments are joined together with a chiropractor, physical therapist or PCP. Some conditions that respond well to Medical Massage are TMJ, Sciatica, Whiplash, Overuse & Repetitive Use Injuries and Postural Issues.
