Massage Therapy Has A Positive Impact On Every Body System

  1.  The Skeletal System—Massage indirectly affects bones. Improved blood circulation brings oxygen and nutrients to the bones. Joint stiffness and pain can be reduced. As the muscles become more flexible, joint movement increases.
  2. The Nervous System - Massage can provide relief from nervous irritability and stress-related conditions such as insomnia and tension headaches. When used energetically to stimulate, massage may relieve lethargy and fatigue.
  3. The Circulatory System
    Massage can improve the flow of blood, which can help with poor circulation. This is especially useful for anyone who is immobile.
  4. The Lymphatic System - Gentle massage stimulates the lymphatic system, which helps clear the body of a build-up of waste products. The relaxing effect of the massage can relieve stress, which in turn can boost the immune system.
  5. The Respiratory System - As you become more relaxed during a massage, respiration may become slower and deeper as you are using your diaphragm for breathing and expending less energy. Percussive movements over the base of the lungs can help to relieve chest congestion.
  6. The Muscular System - Some massage movements relax and stretch muscles, reducing muscular tension and cramp. Massage also makes muscles more flexible by reducing muscle tone. Muscles tired by exercise are more quickly restored by massage than by rest.
  7. The Digestive System - Massage aids relaxation and therefore can help to increase the movement of food and waste products through the digestive system. This relaxation can have a balancing effect on the digestive system.
  8. The Urinary System - Waste products that have been released during massage find their way via the blood to the kidneys where they may be filtered out and eliminated.
  9. The Female Reproductive System - Menstrual problems such as period pains and PMS can be alleviated by the relaxing effects of massage, as can menopausal symptoms.


Neuromuscular Massage Therapy: Pain Management, Anxiety, Stress Relief & Wellness  Care

 

 Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) Is A Powerful Method For Managing And Releasing Acute And Chronic Pain.

 

Neuromuscular Therapy Is A Very Specific, Targeted Method Of Examination And Treatment Of The Soft Tissues Of The Body.

Neuromuscular Therapists examine and treat muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia:

  • layer by layer,

  • from superficial to deep,

  • on all possible sides and in all possible directions,

with the intent of releasing trigger points* and hypertonicity, thereby allowing the body to heal on Its own and eliminating the causes of most muscular pain.

 

Neuromuscular Massage Therapy: Pain Management, Anxiety, Stress Relief & Wellness  Care

Neuromuscular Therapy Is Based On Six Physiological Factors that May Cause or Intensify Pain In The Body.

  1. Ischemia is a lack of blood supply to the soft tissues, resulting in a lack of oxygen & nutrition to cells and an accumulation of waste products Ischemic tissues are sensitive to touch or locally painful.

  2. * Trigger Points occur when nerves fire impulses at a rapid speed into an area of the body other than that which has been traumatized. Because of trigger points, the cause of serious pain may often be far from the actual site of the pain. This, in turn, inhibits proper blood flow, which causes ischemia and often leads to more pain and discomfort.
  1. Nerve Compression or Nerve Entrapment: Compression is pressure on a nerve by bone, cartilage, or soft tissue. The role of the soft tissues in nerve compression is vital. Failure to treat the associated soft tissue often treats the symptom without eliminating the cause of the pain.
  2. Postural Distortion occurs when there is an imbalance of the musculoskeletal system resulting from the movement of the body off its normal planes. When the body tries to compensate in an effort to maintain structural balance, muscle contraction, body distortion, and pain result.
  3. Nutritional Considerations are important in the treatment of pain as certain nutrients are stimulating the nervous system and may play a role in chronic pain.
  4. Emotional Wellness/Stress Management - There is a link between our mental health/stress levels and chronic physical pain.

The Neuromuscular Therapist attempts to evaluate all six factors in determining the treatment plan that is most beneficial to the client.

Intuitive Bodywork Therapist Alan Jordan is a Certified Neuromuscular Therapist and a Certified Neuromuscular Therapy Instructor through the NMT Center, St. Petersburg, FL. He has practiced and taught Neuromuscular Therapy in clinics, massage therapy schools, and seminar series since 1992.

Understanding Neuromuscular Massage Therapy (NMT): 
An Answer to Pain. How it Works. What Are The Benefits?
 
The Benefits of Frequent Massage

Massage therapy helps relieve pain, manage stress, enhance wellness, and positively affect medical conditions. Now, research tells us those benefits increase significantly with regular, frequent massage visits. A new Emory University study conducted at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center shows sustained, cumulative beneficial effects of repeated massage therapy.

 

The Emory study is part of a growing body of research that shows a link between many forms of touch—from massage to hand-holding—and improved health. Dr. Tiffany Field, Director of the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami School of Medicine, believes massage helps maintain overall health in the same category as proper diet and exercise.

 

Dr. James Dillard of Columbia University states, "Like exercise, massage does more for you if you engage in it regularly... even a monthly treatment can help maintain general health."
