Massage Revolution - Trigger Point Massage Therapy

Did you know that trigger points are far and away the most common cause of pain in your back and neck muscles, as well as elsewhere in the body? Neuromuscular massage and trigger point therapy can release these sore spots, restoring your muscles to their natural, pain-free state.

Trigger points are tiny knots that develop in muscles when they are overworked or injured. A single injury can cause pain that goes on for weeks, months, years, or even a lifetime.

When you get injured, your body’s natural reaction is to protect itself, and it does this by changing the way you sit, stand, or move. Unfortunately this protective reflex can put strain on your muscles, and cause a cascading effect of dysfunction throughout the body.

The truth is, we all have trigger points. It’s really a question of how much yours affect your daily activities. Trigger points can cause a wide array of symptoms from headaches to heartburn to heart arrhythmia. Trigger points in the neck can cause things like headaches, blurred vision and TMJ, while trigger points in the back can cause chronic low back pain, sciatica and even a herniated disc.

One of the ways you know you have a trigger point is that the pain refers, meaning you feel it somewhere else in the body. For example, a trigger point in the neck may refer up into the head or down the arms, while a trigger point in the low back may refer pain down into the legs.

Another way you know you have a trigger point is that rubbing the spot where it hurts doesn’t seem to help. This is because the problem originated elsewhere, but the massage therapists and bodyworkers at Massage Revolution have all been trained in neuromuscular massage and trigger point massage therapy and know how to find the origin of your pain.

Lose the pain and gain freedom from sore, achy muscles. You deserve to be pain-free. A single session of neuromuscular massage can have you footloose and pain-free by the end of today.

Massage Revolution Back & Neck Relief Center - Benefits of Sports Massage To Amateur Athletes in South Bay, Los Angeles

Repetitive and aggressive movements in daily sports training can stress specific parts of the body. In order to find relief from worsening and/or tight muscles and tendons, athletes opt for sports massage therapy. Unlike any other types of massage, this technique is specific to the athlete’s sport of choice. It concentrates on areas of the body that are typically overused and stressed.

Sports massage helps condition an athlete’s body so it won’t easily be injured during training and actual games or competition. It’s also a great means to cool down the body after exertion. Sports massage promotes optimum mental focus and reduces fatigue through relaxation. It can ultimately improve the overall performance of an athlete. But the key ability of sports massage technique is targeting muscle-tendon junctions. It can help improve a hip-flexor range of motion and relieves muscle soreness in just a 30-minute session.

You can incorporate sports massage therapy in Los Angeles to your normal regimen to improve your performance. Contact Massage Revolution Back & Neck Relief Center and talk to our professional massage therapist to find out more about Sports Massage.

Those who haven’t tried massage before might think it’s an awkward idea. Massage is actually a perfect way to relax. Massage anxieties quickly pass once a skilled therapist begins to execute the magic of his/her craft. For the record, first time massage seekers should first try Swedish Massage. It’s the simplest form there is.

First time massage clients are often cynical about the healing effects of massage. But as soon as they emerge out from the room, they will definitely have something to say on how relaxing the experience was. Swedish Massage Therapy is the most ideal modality that demonstrates how relaxing massage therapy is. It consists of basic movements and strokes that include effleurage or long sweeping strokes, petrissage or kneading motion, friction or applying deep pressure to a specific spot, and tapotement or tapping of muscles. Swedish Massage Therapy involves a less intense pressure level. Other forms of massage can turn off newcomers because it applies more stronger pressure and sometimes cause slight muscle soreness.

Notwithstanding the simplicity of its form, Swedish Massage Technique still offers benefits like pain relief, relaxation, improves blood circulation, enhances flexibility and boosts immune system.

Massage Revolution - Neuromuscular Massage Therapy in South Bay, Los Angeles
If you’re like millions of other Americans, you’ve experienced back pain, neck pain, or both. But whether the pain has developed recently or it’s been going on for a long time, you’re not doomed to suffer aches, soreness, and restricted range of motion for the rest of your life. Neuromuscular massage therapy, also known as trigger point massage therapy, can provide relief.

The body is complex. All of the muscles, joints and other tissues are linked together with a special kind of connective tissue called fascia. Injury, overuse, repetitive movements and stress are just some of the things that can cause tension to build up in your muscles, eventually causing trigger points in back, neck, and all muscles.

Neuromuscular massage techniques involve applying varying degree of pressure on trigger points which are located in the back, neck or elsewhere. A neuromuscular trigger point therapist applies pressure using the fingers, knuckles, or elbow. Muscles in spasm hurt, and may be painful to the touch. Neuromuscular trigger point therapy can relieve that sensitivity, restoring your muscles to their normal, pain-free state.

Because trigger points, whether in the neck, back or other locations are often tender, you may experience some discomfort, but it should not cause an overwhelming sensation of pain. The best description is that the neuromuscular massage should ‘hurt so good.’ (For those of you who like trivia, this is also called the ‘Hedonic Level.’) Because of this, it is important that you feel comfortable talking to your therapist about what you are experiencing in order to find the right level of healing pressure.

In the day or two following the neuromuscular massage, any residual soreness should fade, and tight muscles should loosen noticeably over the next several days to weeks. The rate and amount of improvement you feel will also depend on other factors, such as your workload and stress levels.

Trigger point massage therapy is one of the best ways to alleviate or eliminate pain in the neck and back. While many people experience total relief after a single session, others may choose to schedule regular appointments to manage stress and chronic pain, including pain from old injuries. Bring us your aching back. Bring us your sore neck. The massage and bodyworkers at the Back and Neck Relief Center are professionally trained in trigger point massage therapy and neuromuscular massage. You could be pain-free today.

Neuromuscular Massage Therapy For Shoulder Pain

FILED UNDER Back Pain

Frozen shoulder is a condition causing severe pain. It involves sudden onset of pain caused by a series of muscles tightening in the shoulder area. The underlying cause does not materialize abruptly. The condition is due to a muscular imbalance rooted from numerous factors with the most common being strains and inactivity.

The body is quite effective in adjusting and compensating for muscular imbalances and injuries. The bodily adjustments can and do extend for long periods of time. Therefore, you may not feel much muscular or skeletal discomfort even though there’s increasing muscular compensation taking place. But as you might guess, the body also has limitations to this cover-up. When it reach that point, any minimal movement can trigger muscular spasm and drive the imbalance into new and severe source of localized pain.

Massage Revolutions neuromuscular massage therapy is a highly effective treatment in relieving and eliminating frozen shoulder pain. This massage therapy eliminates muscle spasms and hyper-contraction in the tissue by correcting the structural imbalances that forms the compensating muscular pattern. The treatment will pinpoint the greatest source of pain like ischemic tissues or muscles lacking of blood supply due to tightening. Neuromuscular massage therapy will locate the specific contributory muscle imbalances thus enabling precisely located massage treatment to the effected area.

CBD Massage – Secret Benefits for Pain Relief

Free massagesCannabidiol or CBD is an extract of the cannabis plant. It has been proven in clinical studies to offer anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects. CBD may also be blended with other well-documented pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory supplements such as arnica and turmeric for maximum pain relief. Many conditions can be alleviated by a CBD massage: sore muscles from gardening or working out, injuries, arthritis, and even anxiety. A CBD massage is like bodywork cranked up to eleven, offering extra long-lasting pain relief.

CBD can come from hemp or it can come from marijuana. CBD is not the same thing as THC (the psychoactive component in marijuana) and CBD is not addictive. For better or for worse, a CBD massage will not get you high.

We actually produce cannabinoids inside our body. Research is ongoing, but CBD from the cannabis plant does not appear to interact directly with our system. Instead, it seems to encourage the body to use more of its own cannabinoids, kind of like a one-upsmanship contest. Cannabinoids influence many of the body’s systems, including appetite, memory, immune response, and the production of the feel-good brain chemical, serotonin.

Looking to reduce pain is probably the number one reason people go for a massage. Pain relief is one of the main benefits of massage and bodywork and because CBD has analgesic (pain-relieving) properties, it can supercharge this effect, offering you extended relief.

Inflammation is the bane of modern life, causing pain, disease, and premature aging. CBD is not only anti-inflammatory, it has also been shown to have antioxidant qualities. A CBD massage can reduce inflammation, easing soreness and achy joints. Less inflammation will not only reduce pain, it can also help the body to heal faster.

Anxiety is a serious problem today. Massage and bodywork can be highly effective in reducing stress and anxiety, and CBD can enhance relaxation even further. In studies, CBD has been shown to reduce social anxiety.

CBD is usually well-tolerated and does not cause dependence. A CBD massage can help reduce or eliminate chronic pain by lessening inflammation, soreness, inflammation and irritation. A CBD massage is an excellent natural alternative to the unwanted and dangerous side effects of prescription and over-the-counter drugs.

What is Trigger Point Massage Therapy?

Massage Revolution - Neuromuscular Massage Therapy in South Bay, Los Angeles
Scientists may not know what causes trigger points or even exactly what they are, but one thing everyone can agree on is that trigger points hurt, and the solution is often trigger point massage.

Sometimes called myofascial trigger points, these small, sensitive areas are usually about the size of a penny but the zing they give to your muscles when you press on one feels a whole lot bigger. The pain may stay local right beneath the trigger point, or you may feel it elsewhere. For example, trigger points in the neck may hurt only on site, or they may refer pain up into the head, or down into the low back. They may even hurt in multiple places simultaneously.

Trigger points are not equal opportunity trouble-makers. They target certain areas of the body, the back in particular. Trigger points in the lower back, hips, shoulders and neck are the most common sites and, unsurprisingly, they are frequently the culprit of back and neck pain.

Trigger points are one of the key symptoms of fibromyalgia and people with fibromyalgia frequently experience trigger points in the same places on the body. In fact, trigger points are one of the diagnostic tests used to determine if a person has fibromyalgia, but trigger points can spring up due to many other reasons as well. Poor posture, overuse, injury, trauma and surgery are all potential sources of the problem. Trigger points can also sometimes mimic other issues, such as headaches, migraines, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and arthritis.

Because trigger points can refer pain to other areas, rubbing the sore spot yourself may not help, but that doesn’t mean you’re stuck with back or neck pain. Myofascial release and trigger point massage are special types of bodywork that are particularly effective in relieving trigger points. By releasing the connective tissue (aka fascia) that surrounds the muscle, the trigger points can be disarmed.

Trigger point massage can alleviate or completely eliminate the knots in your muscles that are causing your pain. It is possible to feel a significant or total release of restricted muscles right away, and your pain may even disappear after a single treatment. Regular treatments can help manage stress and pain from chronic problems, including old injuries. The neuromuscular massage therapists and bodyworkers at the Back and Neck Relief Center are professionally trained in the technique of trigger point massage and myofascial release. We’re here to help.
