Massage Therapy FAQs in Beverly Hills, CA

Beverly Hills Massage Therapy FAQ

What problems does massage therapy help?

Massage can be beneficial for injuries, tight muscles, a lack of mobility and pain in the back, neck and other areas.

How does massage help?

Massage can relieve muscle pain and promote healing in the body, plus it can improve the body's flexibility. It helps fluids circulate through the body, which provides new oxygen within the bloodstream and gets rid of toxins and waste from muscles. In addition, massage can break scar tissue apart to help with healing and movement.

What types of massage are there to choose from?

There are many types of massage. The most well-known type is a Swedish massage, which is a relaxing massage with light pressure. Some therapeutic massage options include deep tissue massage, sports massage, myofascial release and trigger point therapy. Deep tissue massage uses more pressure to treat pain in deep tissue. Sports massage focuses on healing the body after a sports injury or improving performance with increased blood flow, flexibility and other benefits. Myofascial release helps chronic pain by easing tension in the fascia, which is connective tissue. Trigger point therapy targets scar tissue with deep pressure.

How does massage work together with chiropractic care?

Chiropractic care can't necessarily target tense muscles, which can affect your body's movement and create alignment problems. Massage can complement chiropractic by easing the tension, while chiropractic focuses on aligning the spine's vertebrae, taking pressure off nerves and other practices.

Why is it important to improve mobility with massage?

When the muscles become tense, they can make it so the body can't move as well, reducing flexibility and range of motion. This can cause chronic pain and can block the joints from moving properly. In addition, tightness in the muscles can reduce circulation, leading to a lactic acid accumulation and a lack of nutrients in the muscles. When the muscles are consistently tight, they can throw the spinal column out of a healthy alignment.

What areas of the body can massage help?

Massage is very beneficial for the back and neck. Nonetheless, it also helps the head, shoulders, arms, hands, legs, feet and hip areas. In other words, massage can help the whole body.

Who can benefit from therapeutic massage?

This type of massage is very beneficial to athletes, improving their abilities and helping injuries. It can also help anyone who has tense, stiff muscles or difficulty with mobility.

Nonetheless, massage is not recommended for everyone, especially for people with certain health conditions, such as some types of cancer and heart disease. If you have a medical condition, ask your doctor if a therapeutic massage is right for you and be sure to include your condition on your health history forms from your massage therapist.

What is the recommended frequency for massages?

How often you get a massage depends on your health and needs, which your massage therapist can determine. You might want to come in every week or two for acute pain, or every few weeks to generally improve your health.

He said, Do them or you will come back here with worse...and guess what? I am too embarrassed to go back! But still will, I think..."
