5 MASSAGES YOU’LL WANT TO TRY IF YOU WANT PAIN RELIEF

#1 MYOFASCIAL MASSAGE

The most important body therapy, and unfortunately not known by many avid massage goes.  Myofascial release is the elimination of pain and the restoration of motion by applying gently sustained pressure to the myofascial release connective tissues.  Myofascial release can provide extreme benefits to pressure relief as well as pain relief.  If you have been injured in an accident, hurt yourself playing a sport or simply need some relief, myofascial release is at the top.

#2 HOT STONE MASSAGE

Hot stone massage feels wonderful any time of year. Although it’s fairly popular during the cooler months here in Woburn, it’s a massage that should be taken advantage of any time you need extreme relief, fast. If you’re an avid athlete or an active individual, a hot stone massage is a perfect way to get heat into the belly of your muscles. Heat will help to release tension, and when combined with stretching and deeper pressure through the stones or hands, your body will start to feel immediate relief and relaxation.
