Massage therapy is a powerful ally in your healthcare regimen.
Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. While eliminating anxiety and pressure altogether in this fast-paced world may be idealistic, massage can, without a doubt, help manage stress. This translates into: decreased anxiety, enhanced sleep quality, greater energy, improved concentration, increased circulation, reduced fatigue.

Trigger point massage
Trigger points are the primary cause of pain roughly 75% of the time and they play at least a part in virtually every pain problem. Trigger point massage works by accomplishing three things: it breaks into the chemical and neurological feedback loop that maintains the muscle contraction; it increases circulation that has been restricted by the contracted tissue; and it directly stretches the trigger point´s knotted muscle fibres.
They are simply a small contracture knot in muscle tissue and they feel denser or tighter than the surrounding muscle tissue. The constant tension is the fibers of the trigger point itself restricts circulation of blood in its immediate area. The resulting accumulation of the by-products of metabolism. as well as deprivation of oxygen and nutrients needed for metabolism, can perpetuate trigger points for months or even years unless some intervention occurs!
The difficulty in treating trigger points is that they typically send pain to some other site and conventional pain treatment is based on the assumption that the cause of pain will be found at the site of the pain. Another misleading factor is that their symptoms can mimic many other conditions.
Trigger points are known to contribute to headaches, neck and jaw pain, arthritis, tendinitis, bursitis, or ligament injury. Long-term persistent pain is often a compound effect from a chain of trigger points created in a kind of cascade from muscle to muscle, the classic domino effect. Stiffness and pain in a joint should make you think first not of arthritis but of possible trigger points in associated muscles. Pain is such joints as knuckles, wrists, elbows, shoulders, knees and hips are classic trigger point symptoms!
