Therapeutic Massage Offerings From Justine’s Massage Therapy Of Tampa, Fl (33615)

Doctors and massage therapists alike agree that regular massage therapy as a complimentary alternative medicine is an effective way of maintaining a good and healthy state of body and mind. This is why so many massage clinics are in Tampa, FL these days.

Here are some of the common Therapeutic Massages you’ll see on a spa’s treatment menu:

SWEDISH MASSAGE

The Swedish massage is probably the most requested therapeutic massage among all other offers. This massage comprises of the 5 basic strokes that are used during the treatment—effleurage, petrissage, tapotement, friction, and vibration. A Swedish massage is the best choice if you just want to relax and untie knotted muscles caused by daily routines at work or at home.

DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

Massage therapists sometimes call this the Rolfing technique. A deep tissue massage is ideal for people experiencing chronic back pain, cramps, those with carpal tunnel syndrome, and even insomnia. The massage targets the deeper layer of the muscles that are often exposed to lactic acid build-up. Lactic acid is one of the root causes of cramps, muscle stiffness, soreness, and sometimes temporary paralysis. After a deep tissue massage, it is always recommended that you take plenty of water in order to help your body flush away the toxins. You may feel a little sore after the treatment but it is a natural after effect of the treatment. The soreness should disappear after a day or two of rest.

SPORTS MASSAGE

The name implies that it is for people who engage in sports but actually, anyone who works out regularly can get a sports massage. This is a preparatory treatment for physical activities that involve the use of major muscles for an extended period of time. A sports massage aims to increase blood circulation and raise body temperature so as to prepare the muscles for work. Some athletes get sports massages 10 to 15 minutes before a game or completion and then another cool down massage 10 to 15 minutes after. Make sure you get a certified massage therapist to give you sports massage, or any type of massage for that matter. Improper practice of massage therapy may cause injury.

REFLEXOLOGY/FOOT MASSAGE

Reflexology has been around for centuries and it has proven its efficacy in treating some of our body’s internal problems. Research shows that a foot massage can improve one’s digestive system and help the kidney recover from infections. You can pair a foot massage with a complete reflexology treatment that also covers the manipulation of the trigger points on the hands and ears. Again, a licensed massage therapist is the only person qualified to perform this alternative treatment on a person so make sure the spa or clinic you’re going to is legitimate.

SENSUAL MASSAGE/EROTIC MASSAGE

Not every massage clinic offers this treatment. This therapeutic massage aims to help a person with his sense of arousal and alertness. This is often recommended to couples undergoing sex therapy. An erotic massage targets the erogenous zones of the body to stimulate the libido and increase one’s responses to stimuli. Justine’s Massage Therapy offers male massage as an option as well.
