Understand this and you will understand why you carry tension where you do. This is a vital first step into living a pain free and less stressful life.

Stress is an unfortunate but often unavoidable side effect of your busy life. Not only does it impact you emotionally, but it can also manifest physically all over your body. Your muscles will cling on to this tension, making it hard for you to relax and over time, adhesions (bands of scar-like tissue, that can cause tissue and organs to stick together) start to form and slowly cause pain and discomfort.
Adhesions disrupt circulation and cause inflammation, and if left untreated, will steadily increase your pain and limit your ability to move freely, potentially anywhere and everywhere in your body. It is thus vitally important to get rid of adhesions.
In some countries GP’s prescribe a course of deep tissue massage as their first line of defence
As an example, many patients find that their stress settles in their upper back and neck. It can sometimes feel as though your muscles are playing a ‘tug of war’ against your head leading to tension headaches and migraines.
We all instinctively know about the relationship between everyday living and pain plus restricted movement. For those of us who have experienced good quality massage, we also know that regular massage can have a massive impact on limiting these symptoms. It should thus come as no surprise that in some countries GP’s prescribe a course of deep tissue massage as their first line of defence. They estimate that if their patients had regular deep tissue massage, then their waiting lists would be halved. That’s a pretty strong, well qualified supporting argument for the benefits of deep tissue massage.
A deep tissue massage is beneficial in reducing physical stress and relieving emotional stress, as it aids in relaxation by slowing the heart down and encouraging the release of the ‘happy hormone’ serotonin. Deep tissue massage works into the deeper layers of fascia (connective fibrous tissue beneath the skin) causing them to loosen, lengthen and relax. This is why after a massage it is quite common to feel much more relaxed and in turn get a better night’s sleep which also helps to alleviate symptoms.
Massage is not new
Massage therapy began around 5000 years ago in China, India and Greece where it was considered as a sacred system of healing. Fast forwarding a few centuries, in Greece athletes used massage to condition their bodies before competitions and doctors would often apply herbs and oils in combination with massage to treat various conditions. This is no different today. Many athletes across many sports will have regular sports massage to maintain flexibility and minimise pain.
The public only has to look at sports athletes to see evidence of the benefits of regular massage
Romans would travel to the baths for ‘spa’ treatments and full body massages, to stimulate circulation and loosen their joints- a remedy we still use to this day. So, massage and its positive benefits have been around for a long time.
What are the benefits of regular deep tissue massage for you?
