Deep-tissue massage therapy: People avail massages to get rid of pain and discomfort or just to give themselves a relaxing treat. A massage therapist uses pressure, movement, and stretching to render your body more pliable and comfortable. Speaking of headaches, a massage therapist will usually use therapeutic, deep-tissue techniques. Deep-tissue massages may serve to improve circulation (blood and lymphatic) and help lower muscle tension. When performing a deep-tissue massage, a massage therapist focuses on specific areas of the body to relieve pain and release stress. Many believe that massage can reduce muscle pain and ease muscle tension and stiffness. Deep tissue refers to the use of deep finger pressure and slow strokes on areas of the body that are suffering from muscle tension or aches.
As many deep-tissue massage works well on tense shoulders and necks, it can sometimes provide relief from the symptoms of headache. (If you aren't sure whether your physical condition is amenable to the massage, always check first with your doctor before having a massage. Massage isn't recommended if you have varicose veins, a recent fracture, sprain, or nerve injury, or if you've recently had chemotherapy or radiation.)
There are numerous causes of insomnia and also many insomnia remedies but which one will work and which one is right for you? Insomnia comes in many shapes and forms. You can't go to sleep at night, you wake up at 3 am or toss and turn all night long.
Sleep is how we regenerate our cells and our bodies. Without adequate sleep, your immune system can become compromised. Lack of sleep is related to various conditions like back pain, fibromyalgia and chronic pain and other diseases. But what is the real cause of these conditions - could they actually be caused or made worse by lack of sleep or are they made worse with various conditions. We really don't know. Getting regular weekly massage can help reduce and regulate your cortisol levels which are important sleep hormones. They are known as the stress hormones.
Fibromyalgia is a common chronic pain disorder that affects people physically, mentally and socially. Fibromyalgia is a syndrome (constellation of disorders) rather than a singular disease. Unlike a disease, which is a medical condition with a specific cause or causes and recognizable signs and symptoms, a syndrome is a collection of signs, symptoms, and medical problems that tend to occur together but are not related to a specific, identifiable cause. Fibromyalgia (referred to as fibromyalgia syndrome, fibromyositis and fibrositis) is characterized by chronic widespread pain, multiple tender points, abnormal pain processing, sleep disturbances, fatigue and often psychological distress. For those with severe symptoms, fibromyalgia can be extremely debilitating and interfere with basic daily activities.
Findings from other small studies indicate that massage therapy may help improve sleep and ease depression, in addition to reducing fibromyalgia pain. A study of 24 fibromyalgia patients, for example, researchers found that those who received 30-minute massage treatments twice weekly for five weeks had an increase in the number of hours they slept (as well as a decrease in pain).
