Deep Tissue Massage Therapy - A Must For Long Term Health and Wellness

You may want to consider deep tissue massage therapy if you’re looking to eliminate or minimize the stress and tension in your life and the effects it has on your body.  People are just beginning to realize that psychological issues have a very real and physical effect on their bodies.
Not all therapists are alike.  Finding a suitable therapist can be like playing the lottery.  Many clinics offering deep tissue massage treatments, although may be certified, cannot provide the level of experience necessary to produce the results that we would expect from a deep tissue massage treatment. Therefore, it is also important to find a licensed and certified deep tissue massage therapist that has the required experience and expertise.
Deep tissue massage therapy helps put your body into homeostasis. This is the optimal state of health and wellbeing in the body.  When you are under the effects of stress and tension (aka daily life) your body produces hormones in response to the stress and tension. This release of adrenalin causes your body's engine to accelerate again and again to prepare you for the usual onslaught; eventually you will have problems being able to relax, sleep or remove yourself from that heightened state of awareness (fight or flight) or stress. This will inevitably cause you bigger health problems in the long run. ‘Prevention’ is always much better than ‘cure’ – leading to less medical attention and prescription drugs.  It is much better for you to bring your stress levels down naturally.
Deep tissue massage therapy is the working of muscles in long deep motions that reduces and eliminates muscle tension. Both mind and body will relax during a treatment. Nico Tailored Therapies works on both deep and superficial muscles in the chosen area for a particular treatment. Some techniques will work the upper muscles while others work deeper muscles. Almost any form of massage therapy will have favourable affects on the body, however deep tissue massage effects muscular knotting, tension, and tightness due to the level of pressure and techniques we use.
Massage therapy helps bring stress and tension into check which results in an overall sense of calmness and relaxation.  For the person with a tight schedule, a 30 minute deep tissue treatment once or twice a week will keep you feeling less stressful, pain free and ready to take on your day-to-day life.
Deep tissue massage is just one style of massage offered by Nico Tailored Therapies; but it is the preferred treatment by 90% of our clients.  As well as Reflexology, the other styles of treatments are totally different to deep tissue but are just as effective when used appropriately.
