If you are experiencing a tightness and pain in your muscles or a have limited range of motion in your joints then Massage Therapy may help. A massage therapist may use a number of different techniques to help relax your muscles, enhance circulation and even lower stress levels. With many different forms of massage it can be difficult to know which one is best for you. Discuss your problem areas and goals with your Massage Therapist to determine which form of massage is best for you. Some forms of Massage Therapy include Swedish Massage, Shiatsu Massage, Deep Tissue Massage and Polarity Massage. After deciding on a form of massage that works for you try your best to relax, allowing your body to relieve stress and relax the muscles in your body during the massage. Massage Therapy is a great way to relax and reduce stress but it is also beneficial to your muscles. Learn about the muscular benefits of Massage Therapy below.​

Muscular Benefits
​
Activation of the stress response causes muscles throughout the body to tense up. When the event ends, the muscles relax. However, if stress is constant, the muscles may remain in a slightly tensed state. This may lead to joint aches and pains, headaches, chronic back and neck pain and other symptoms. According to the National Institutes of Health, massage therapy may help relieve your muscle tension. A massage therapist uses various techniques to rub, stroke, stretch or apply pressure to the muscles to help them return to a relaxed state, which in turn reduces your stress-related aches and pains.

It's interesting that if stress is constant, the muscles will remain in a tense state. I have been noticing that I'm having more and more problems with my shoulder and it is constant pain. I always have something that I'm stressed about and it never seems to go away. It would be great to try something like this to see if it would even alleviate any pain.

I didn't know that there were polarity massages. Is that mostly foot and head work? I desperately need a massage to fix my lower back.
