Your company has the option to choose specific massage treatments that will leave your employees recharged, happier and delivering more. Employees that feel valued and rewarded work with energy and increased productivity. Offering your employees on site massage therapy not only keeps them fit and focused, but also helps your business to run smoothly and efficiently.
What you will notice from on-site massage therapy:
Deep tissue massage is aimed at the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia, also called connective tissue. Deep tissue massage uses many of the same movements and techniques as Swedish massage, but the pressure will generally be more intense. It is also a more focused type of massage, as we work to release chronic muscle tension or “knots” (also known as “adhesions.”)
Myofascial Release (MFR) therapy focuses on releasing muscular shortness and tightness. It’s a very gentle, but effective way of treating chronic muscular soreness and joint pain. There are a number of conditions and symptoms that myofascial release therapy addresses.
Many patients seek myofascial treatment after losing flexibility or function following an injury or if experiencing ongoing back, shoulder, hip, or virtually pain in any area containing soft tissue. Other conditions treated by myofascial release therapy include Temporo-Mandibular Joint (TMJ) disorder, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, or migraine headaches.
Patient symptoms usually include:
Neuromuscular massage treatments pinpoint your stiff muscles and exact location of your pain, stiffness, numbness, or weakness. Neuromuscular Massage Therapy (NMT) specifically locates and releases your tight muscles and trigger points getting to the CAUSE or source of your pain.
The goal of this type of massage is to let you drift away and feel good. In a relaxation massage, the therapist won’t push your limits in order to get the muscle to release.
Due to the low pressure and relative universality of its calming effects, getting a relaxation massage is great for first-timers or those who want to get a special treat once a year. However, it can also have a number of health benefits, including eventually relieving knots over the course of many gentle treatments.
Along with relieving stress, there are substantial health benefits to a relaxation massage including that it increases blood circulation, improves digestion, and helps you sleep better by relieving small aches and pains in the body.
Gentle massage stimulates sensory nerve endings in the skin, which transmit messages through the nervous system and cause the brain to release a special chemical that acts as a natural painkiller. These endorphins can help create a sense of well-being and being touched by another human can have positive effects on cognition, empathy, and mood.
