Show number. Therapeutic massage uses a combination of massage techniques to treat particular complaints and mobilise the soft tissues. Deeper than a classic massage, therapeutic massages use myofascial release, deep-tissue massage, and various stretching techniques to help relieve stress, muscular tension, and pain. It can also improve circulation. There are many benefits associated with therapeutic massage including reduced heart rate, increased circulation, and more mobility around the joints.
If you are suffering with chronic long-term or acute sudden and severe medical issues, including migraines, tendonitis, and posture-related pain, you could benefit from a therapeutic massage. Rest and drink plenty of water. You should avoid having a hot shower, and expect to need the toilet more than usual as a result of your lymph circulation flushing out toxins.
It depends on what you want the massage to treat, and could be anything from once a week to once a month. Your therapist will advise you on how often you should have a therapeutic massage.
Therapeutic massages work the soft tissue more deeply than a classic massage and as such you may experience more tenderness. If the pressure feels too uncomfortable, tell your massage therapist so they can adjust their technique accordingly.
