Suffering from sore muscles and chronic pain can lead to missed experiences, absence from work and loss of pay, decreased ability to focus, and a myriad of side effects not limited to the body. Today, given the high levels of stress under which many people live, Therapeutic Massage is not only a highly beneficial therapy but also one of the healthiest options for improving one’s quality of life. Therapeutic massage is a general term that describes any type of massage modality that helps relieve pain, reduce stress, and work on a specific problem such as a frozen shoulder. Some assume therapeutic massage means deep tissue massage, and they will get a very strong massage. But this is not always the case. Deep tissue massage is great at breaking down scar tissue and getting your blood circulating, but may not be what you need on a particular day. A good therapist will apply the specific techniques and the right amount of pressure to address your need, and sometimes that’s a lighter touch.
