Prenatal massage provide relief and relaxation to soothe away both the physical and emotional of pregnancy. It is a productive and safe procedure when accomplished after first trimester and after consulting your obstetrician.

In regular massage you generally spend half the time lying flat with the chest down and the back up. The other half you might spend in a supine position. The former position can be uncomfortable for pregnant ladies while the latter can place pressure on a major blood vessel thus affecting blood flow to the baby. In prenatal massage however, the massage therapist will place the client in a side-lying position and support her with the use of pillows and cushions. The side-lying position is the most recommended and comfortable position for a pregnant women when lying in bed as this accommodates the anatomical and postural changes without disrupting normal blood circulation.

Firm pressures can be applied to multiple areas. Caution is given when providing pressure to the legs. Only gentle pressure is delivered to the lower extremity because pregnant women can be prone to blood clots. Deep tissue pressures can detach the clots and travel to smaller vessels. Simply advise your therapist regarding the intensity and depth of massage pressure you are comfortable with.

Chronic pain is pain that goes on for weeks, months, or even years. Trigger points in neck and back muscles are sore or sensitive spots in the body that are implicated in a number of common chronic pain complaints including low back pain, neck pain, migraines, frozen shoulder and sciatica to name just a few. And neuromuscular massage utilizes trigger point therapy to give you lasting relief.

You may be wondering which came first, the trigger point or the chronic pain. But while it can sound kind of like the chicken and egg conundrum, when it comes to pain, the question is no joke.

When you’re injured, your nerves send a signal to your brain to let you know there is a problem. This is known as acute pain and it usually goes away within a short amount of time. Chronic pain is different. It sticks around. Some 100,000 million Americans suffer from chronic pain, and 1 out of 10 have experienced pain that lasts for 3 or more months. Worldwide, over 1.5 billion people suffer from chronic pain. And trigger point massage therapy is a great solution.

Chronic low back pain is the most common complaint, followed by headaches and migraines, then neck pain. More than three-quarters of those people report feeling depressed due to their chronic pain, and 1 person out of 5 says the pain disturbs their sleep at least a few nights a week. Over half of Americans who suffer from chronic pain say that they feel they have little to no control over the problem. The good news is you do have the power to do something about your chronic pain, and it doesn’t involve drugs or surgery.

There are several trigger points in neck and back muscles that contribute to these problems. The pain may stay local, meaning you feel pain right under the trigger point, or it may refer, meaning you feel it elsewhere, such as pain that radiates up into your head or down to your legs. Neuromuscular massage and trigger point therapy release the muscles and alleviate the problem, even if the condition has gone on for some time.

Many people experience relief after a single treatment of neuromuscular massage or trigger point therapy. While for some one session is all they need, others may find that regular appointments help to manage pain and stress due to their lifestyle, work or stress load. The massage and bodyworkers at Massage Revolution have been specially trained in trigger point therapy. We want to help you free yourself from chronic pain.

Did you know that trigger points are far and away the most common cause of pain in your back and neck muscles, as well as elsewhere in the body? Neuromuscular massage and trigger point therapy can release these sore spots, restoring your muscles to their natural, pain-free state.

Trigger points are tiny knots that develop in muscles when they are overworked or injured. A single injury can cause pain that goes on for weeks, months, years, or even a lifetime.

When you get injured, your body’s natural reaction is to protect itself, and it does this by changing the way you sit, stand, or move. Unfortunately this protective reflex can put strain on your muscles, and cause a cascading effect of dysfunction throughout the body.

The truth is, we all have trigger points. It’s really a question of how much yours affect your daily activities. Trigger points can cause a wide array of symptoms from headaches to heartburn to heart arrhythmia. Trigger points in the neck can cause things like headaches, blurred vision and TMJ, while trigger points in the back can cause chronic low back pain, sciatica and even a herniated disc.

One of the ways you know you have a trigger point is that the pain refers, meaning you feel it somewhere else in the body. For example, a trigger point in the neck may refer up into the head or down the arms, while a trigger point in the low back may refer pain down into the legs.

Another way you know you have a trigger point is that rubbing the spot where it hurts doesn’t seem to help. This is because the problem originated elsewhere, but the massage therapists and bodyworkers at Massage Revolution have all been trained in neuromuscular massage and trigger point massage therapy and know how to find the origin of your pain.

Lose the pain and gain freedom from sore, achy muscles. You deserve to be pain-free. A single session of neuromuscular massage can have you footloose and pain-free by the end of today.

Repetitive and aggressive movements in daily sports training can stress specific parts of the body. In order to find relief from worsening and/or tight muscles and tendons, athletes opt for sports massage therapy. Unlike any other types of massage, this technique is specific to the athlete’s sport of choice. It concentrates on areas of the body that are typically overused and stressed.

Sports massage helps condition an athlete’s body so it won’t easily be injured during training and actual games or competition. It’s also a great means to cool down the body after exertion. Sports massage promotes optimum mental focus and reduces fatigue through relaxation. It can ultimately improve the overall performance of an athlete. But the key ability of sports massage technique is targeting muscle-tendon junctions. It can help improve a hip-flexor range of motion and relieves muscle soreness in just a 30-minute session.

You can incorporate sports massage therapy in Los Angeles to your normal regimen to improve your performance. Contact Massage Revolution Back & Neck Relief Center and talk to our professional massage therapist to find out more about Sports Massage.

Those who haven’t tried massage before might think it’s an awkward idea. Massage is actually a perfect way to relax. Massage anxieties quickly pass once a skilled therapist begins to execute the magic of his/her craft. For the record, first time massage seekers should first try Swedish Massage. It’s the simplest form there is.

First time massage clients are often cynical about the healing effects of massage. But as soon as they emerge out from the room, they will definitely have something to say on how relaxing the experience was. Swedish Massage Therapy is the most ideal modality that demonstrates how relaxing massage therapy is. It consists of basic movements and strokes that include effleurage or long sweeping strokes, petrissage or kneading motion, friction or applying deep pressure to a specific spot, and tapotement or tapping of muscles. Swedish Massage Therapy involves a less intense pressure level. Other forms of massage can turn off newcomers because it applies more stronger pressure and sometimes cause slight muscle soreness.

Notwithstanding the simplicity of its form, Swedish Massage Technique still offers benefits like pain relief, relaxation, improves blood circulation, enhances flexibility and boosts immune system. If you are looking for the best Swedish Massage in Los Angeles, contact Massage Revolution Back & Neck Relief Center.

If you’re like millions of other Americans, you’ve experienced back pain, neck pain, or both. But whether the pain has developed recently or it’s been going on for a long time, you’re not doomed to suffer aches, soreness, and restricted range of motion for the rest of your life. Neuromuscular massage therapy, also known as trigger point massage therapy, can provide relief.

The body is complex. All of the muscles, joints and other tissues are linked together with a special kind of connective tissue called fascia. Injury, overuse, repetitive movements and stress are just some of the things that can cause tension to build up in your muscles, eventually causing trigger points in back, neck, and all muscles.

Neuromuscular massage techniques involve applying varying degree of pressure on trigger points which are located in the back, neck or elsewhere. A neuromuscular trigger point therapist applies pressure using the fingers, knuckles, or elbow. Muscles in spasm hurt, and may be painful to the touch. Neuromuscular trigger point therapy can relieve that sensitivity, restoring your muscles to their normal, pain-free state.

Because trigger points, whether in the neck, back or other locations are often tender, you may experience some discomfort, but it should not cause an overwhelming sensation of pain. The best description is that the neuromuscular massage should ‘hurt so good.’ (For those of you who like trivia, this is also called the ‘Hedonic Level.’) Because of this, it is important that you feel comfortable talking to your therapist about what you are experiencing in order to find the right level of healing pressure.

In the day or two following the neuromuscular massage, any residual soreness should fade, and tight muscles should loosen noticeably over the next several days to weeks. The rate and amount of improvement you feel will also depend on other factors, such as your workload and stress levels.

Trigger point massage therapy is one of the best ways to alleviate or eliminate pain in the neck and back. While many people experience total relief after a single session, others may choose to schedule regular appointments to manage stress and chronic pain, including pain from old injuries. Bring us your aching back. Bring us your sore neck. The massage and bodyworkers at the Back and Neck Relief Center are professionally trained in trigger point massage therapy and neuromuscular massage. You could be pain-free today.

Frozen shoulder is a condition causing severe pain. It involves sudden onset of pain caused by a series of muscles tightening in the shoulder area. The underlying cause does not materialize abruptly. The condition is due to a muscular imbalance rooted from numerous factors with the most common being strains and inactivity.

The body is quite effective in adjusting and compensating for muscular imbalances and injuries. The bodily adjustments can and do extend for long periods of time. Therefore, you may not feel much muscular or skeletal discomfort even though there’s increasing muscular compensation taking place. But as you might guess, the body also has limitations to this cover-up. When it reach that point, any minimal movement can trigger muscular spasm and drive the imbalance into new and severe source of localized pain.

Massage Revolutions neuromuscular massage therapy is a highly effective treatment in relieving and eliminating frozen shoulder pain. This massage therapy eliminates muscle spasms and hyper-contraction in the tissue by correcting the structural imbalances that forms the compensating muscular pattern. The treatment will pinpoint the greatest source of pain like ischemic tissues or muscles lacking of blood supply due to tightening. Neuromuscular massage therapy will locate the specific contributory muscle imbalances thus enabling precisely located massage treatment to the effected area.

Cannabidiol or CBD is an extract of the cannabis plant. It has been proven in clinical studies to offer anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects. CBD may also be blended with other well-documented pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory supplements such as arnica and turmeric for maximum pain relief. Many conditions can be alleviated by a CBD massage: sore muscles from gardening or working out, injuries, arthritis, and even anxiety. A CBD massage is like bodywork cranked up to eleven, offering extra long-lasting pain relief.

CBD can come from hemp or it can come from marijuana. CBD is not the same thing as THC (the psychoactive component in marijuana) and CBD is not addictive. For better or for worse, a CBD massage will not get you high.

We actually produce cannabinoids inside our body. Research is ongoing, but CBD from the cannabis plant does not appear to interact directly with our system. Instead, it seems to encourage the body to use more of its own cannabinoids, kind of like a one-upsmanship contest. Cannabinoids influence many of the body’s systems, including appetite, memory, immune response, and the production of the feel-good brain chemical, serotonin.

Looking to reduce pain is probably the number one reason people go for a massage. Pain relief is one of the main benefits of massage and bodywork and because CBD has analgesic (pain-relieving) properties, it can supercharge this effect, offering you extended relief.

Inflammation is the bane of modern life, causing pain, disease, and premature aging. CBD is not only anti-inflammatory, it has also been shown to have antioxidant qualities. A CBD massage can reduce inflammation, easing soreness and achy joints. Less inflammation will not only reduce pain, it can also help the body to heal faster.

Anxiety is a serious problem today. Massage and bodywork can be highly effective in reducing stress and anxiety, and CBD can enhance relaxation even further. In studies, CBD has been shown to reduce social anxiety.

CBD is usually well-tolerated and does not cause dependence. A CBD massage can help reduce or eliminate chronic pain by lessening inflammation, soreness, inflammation and irritation. A CBD massage is an excellent natural alternative to the unwanted and dangerous side effects of prescription and over-the-counter drugs.
