About massage

Deep tissue massage therapy is similar to Swedish massage, but the deeper pressure is beneficial in releasing chronic muscle tension. The focus is on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons and fascia, the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones and joints.

What is a trigger point?

In simple terms it is a muscle knot that can wreak havoc
on your body by referring pain, weakening muscles, and causing dysfunctional
movement. Why does movement matter? When you don’t move well, your body
begins to compensate trying to self correct itself so you can move right.

Unfortunately, it does so at your body’s expense in the long run. Muscles weaken,
while others tighten and get stiff, joints lock up and become less mobile and you
lose stability (body control). That is the start of the so called chain of pain!

The reason trigger points are so nasty is that they are rarely if ever located where
your pain is! The SITE of pain is not the same as the SOURCE of pain. He who
chases the site of pain is forever lost! Now you know why I always say Stop
Chasing Pain. Learning common pain patterns from trigger points will become a
vital part of your understanding of how to conquering them.
