Massage therapy at Ideal Wellness involves the manipulation and touching of soft tissues and muscles to relax the body, reduce pains and aches, and prevent injuries. We offer several massages for our clients with different benefits. There are two massages that are very popular and seem very similar to each other- the Sports massage and the Deep Tissue massage.
The Deep Tissue and Sports massage are intense therapies, but they differ from each other in a subtle way. Deep tissue massages at Ideal wellness are done with deep strokes and continuous pressure to reach the deep muscle layers. They are ideal to massage the connective tissues and best for musculoskeletal problems.
How does a Deep Tissue Massage help?
1) Relieve stiffness: More than relaxation, deep tissue massages are used to relieve stiffness and get rid of muscle pain, and soreness. The sustained firm kneading helps relax the painful trigger points and loosen the stiff muscles.
2) Release knots: Troublesome spots or trigger points as a result of daily life stresses lead to adhesions and knots. These kinks in the connective tissue can be kneaded and removed by the deep tissue massage at Ideal Wellness.
3) Improve circulation: This massage helps improve the circulation of blood.
4) Injury rehabilitation: If you want to recover from strain, muscular tension, and physical stress, then opt for deep tissue massage in North Palm Beach because it is often used for injury rehabilitation.
5) Soothe chronic aches: The deep tissue massage therapy is used in chronic pain that is a result of wrong posture or defence reaction to a prolonged exposure to muscle tightness. The massage relaxes the body and deals with the chronic aches.
What is a sports massage about?
1) Individuals who indulge in regular physical fitness and sports activities have a tendency to injure themselves. Emergencies and injuries can render a sportsman unable to perform on the field and stand up against competition. Some action has to be taken. Sports massages are the ideal therapy here.
2) Sports related tension and awkward postures during the game can cause misalignment and stiffness of the muscle fibres.
3) Sports massages on the other hand are ideal therapies for chronic and minor injuries as a result of a sports game. This is a favoured method of massages for the athletes and sportsperson because it helps treat injuries and also improves the posture.
4) This massage relaxes and acts therapeutically on the body of the athlete and helps them perform well on the field.
Why is a sports massage necessary?
Manipulation of the connective tissue, ligaments, tendons and muscles decreases chances of accidental injury due to physical activity. Get a sports massage to:
1) Cool down after an aggressive activity session
2) Warm up before an athletic activity
3) Increase flexibility
4) Improve range of motion
5) Improve the posture
6) Minimise chances of sports injury
7) Reduce inflammation and pain caused by repeated strain and movement
8) Recovery from injuries
Difference between sports massage and deep tissue massages:
1) Sports Massage in North Palm Beach is for athletic people or individuals who live an active lifestyle. Deep tissue massages are meant for muscular issues and sports massages on the other hand are meant to heal and prevent sportsperson’s from developing a sports injury.
2) Repetitive movements can lead to injuries and over-strain the muscles and cause swelling and inflammation in different muscles. Stroking, kneading, tapping and circular pressing techniques applied with the right pressure in a sports massage will help heal the injury faster.
3) Whether it is a shin splint or a hamstring strain, come to Ideal Wellness for a sports massage. On the other hand, if there is a muscle strain, our therapists can assess and identify the depth of the weakened muscles, strained neck and back and get you back into action with a deep tissue massage.
4) Reducing stress, muscle stiffness, relieving muscular tension, increasing blood flow, reducing adhesions, etc can be done with a regular deep tissue massage. Generally the deep tissue massage is given all over as a full body massage and the sports massage targets a particular region on the body to provide relief.
Every sportsperson has different needs and after carefully assessing the kind of injury our therapist at Ideal Wellness decides whether the deep tissue therapy, soft tissue massages, whole body massages, or a different therapy is needed to help in the recovery and rehabilitation process.
Ideal Wellness has the experts who can cater to all kinds of people. Whether it is a muscular strain, a repetitive strain or an injury, our therapists can assess the type of massage needed and take the right approach.
