What is Therapeutic Massage?
Therapeutic massage is a general term that describes any massage which relieves pain, reduces stress, and targets a specific problem. People assume that therapeutic and deep tissue massage are the same – and that any therapeutic massage will use lots of pressure. But this is not always the case.
Deep tissue massage is ideal to break down scar tissue and circulate blood, but it may not be what you need on a particular day. Stadia Med Spa’s massage therapist will apply specific techniques and pressure to address your needs, which sometimes means applying a lighter touch.
Stadia Med Spa offers several types of therapeutic massage including:
- Medical Lymphatic Massages
- Deep Tissue Massages
- Swedish Massages
- Targeted Treatment Massages
- Custom Massages
Your Med Spa experience isn’t complete with one of these relaxing therapeutic massage treatments.
Benefits of Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic massages do more than help you relax and de-stress. Some of the most common benefits include:
- Relief from muscle and joint pain
- Better circulation
- Improved sleep
- More energy
- Lower heart rate and blood pressure
- Boosts your immune system
- Less stress
All massages increase circulation and blood flow. The gentle, gliding hand movements help the body remove stagnant blood and replace it with new oxygen-rich blood. The new blood helps your body heal.
Improved blood flow also calms your mind and turns on the body’s sympathetic nervous system. When you activate the sympathetic “rest and digest” system, you have better sleep and less stress.
Massage supports your immune system via the lymphatic system. Medical lymphatic massages, in particular, stimulate the movement of lymph fluid. Your lymph system is part of your body’s detoxification and disposal systems. It removes harmful bacteria, viruses, and pathogens from the body via the lymph fluid and lymph nodes.
Regular massages are also beneficial for anyone suffering from anxiety and depression. Studies show that massage relieves the symptoms of depression and can be a powerful complementary treatment for people with chronic pain or illnesses.
Types of Massage at Stadia Med Spa
Stadia Med Spa offers several types of therapeutic massage, including medical lymphatic massages, deep tissue, Swedish relaxation, and more! Keep reading to learn more about each type of massage and how they can support you.
Medical Lymphatic Massages
Lymphatic massages support the flow of lymph fluid to support your body’s natural disposal systems. They are designed to help with swelling or edema, and recommended to support healthy breast tissue.
Many of the treatments offered at Stadia Med Spa can cause temporary swelling. Lymphatic massage can help support your body as you heal.
Deep Tissue Massages
Deep tissue massages relieve muscle tension and pain. The therapist will use long, slow strokes with a lot of pressure or targeted pressure in a specific area. These massages are best for those with chronic pain and tension.
If you are active, an athlete, or working on building muscle strength, you can probably benefit from a deep tissue massage. It relieves the tension that builds up in the body throughout your workouts. Tension relief can help build muscle faster and improve your exercise endurance.
Deep tissue may be the perfect complement to the Emsculpt NEO and other fat-burning and muscle-building treatments at Stadia Med Spa.
Swedish Massages
Swedish massages, or relaxation massages, help you de-stress and relax. When most people think of massage, they probably think of the long, soothing strokes associated with Swedish massage. You know if you can benefit from this type of massage. It suits anyone who could use a calm, healing touch and some time away from the stress and pressures of life.
Targeted Treatment Massages
Instead of a full-body treatment that passes over each part of the body, the targeted massage focuses on a specific issue or area of the body. Targeted treatment massages are meant for those with a chronic injury – like a frozen shoulder – or any area that consistently causes pain. You get all the benefits of a regular massage – including rest and relaxation – while addressing an issue that may have been bothering you for a long time!
Custom Massages
A custom massage at Stadia Med Spa is whatever you need that day! You and your massage therapist will discuss your goals for your treatment and decide on the best massage for you that day.
