Have you ever had a cavity that became so painful that you needed to seek a dentist for pain relief? Did you feel it coming on? Most likely not, muscle pain and dysfunction is very similar in nature, you may not feel it initially until the pain becomes so great, that you seek a doctor for an explanation and all he or she does is prescribe pain killers and muscle relaxants.

Muscle pain and dysfunction begins much earlier than when you begin to feel it, because it is an accumulation of muscles becoming “stuck” to one another and because your nervous system as a job uses only 10% for pain sensory. Your muscle fibers are to slide against one another for contracting and releasing as we move throughout the day. Pain and dysfunction within the muscle structure occurs as a result of these fibers not having the freedom to move and slide freely, altering your natural movements.

There are many reasons why this occurs, you will find below just some of them.

Overuse syndromes- these are probably the most common, repetitive strain injuries happen so often because they are job related in most cases.

Sports injuries- if you play sports and do not stretch often, you will be subject to muscles becoming tight, overworked or traumatize by the high impact of physical activity or a fall.

Car accidents- car accidents often cause more pain and dysfunction that what you initially feel or become aware of. An automobile is built to take a slow 5 to 10 mph crash, this is not necessarily true for your body. Even in a low impact accident a person’s soft tissue can be damaged. The back and neck are the usual problem spots for soft tissue injuries.

A lack of sleep- your body isn’t healing properly during your deep sleep (non-REM sleep). This prevents your brain from getting the deep restorative sleep it needs to generate enough growth hormones. And it is the growth hormones that your body needs to keep muscles healthy.

A knowledgeable deep tissue massage specialist can do so much for each of these problems.

The primary goal for deep tissue massage experts is better posture, decrease of pain symptoms, increased flexibility and fluid movements. These are the very things that are impacted by the above list.

Deep tissue massage specialists are trained to look for these kinds of restrictions and improper muscle movements, even before you may become of aware it. A professional deep tissue massage therapists will utilize many different styles of massage that you will not receive with a spa that hires massage therapists with very little skill or know how.

A knowledgeable therapist has many massage techniques from which he will use on you to help you regain normal muscle function and decrease pain. Massage techniques such as cross-fiber friction, muscle stripping techniques, anchor and stretch, active release techniques and stretching. All these different techniques are muscle lengthening strokes and are designed to alleviate restrictive or stuck muscles that alter normal muscle function.
