Have you thought about the importance of regular bodywork for maintaining healthy mus- cles and overall well-being? Whether you are athletic, or just do strenuous activities like gardening or managing small children, adding a monthly massage into your health plan will help you meet the challenges a de- manding lifestyle brings on. Not only will massage help you relax and de-stress, you get the added benefi t of improved circula- tion and a boost to your immunity. A one-hour massage equates to up to eight hours of sleep on the body. There are countless benefi ts massage therapy can bring to your daily life. Some of the general benefi ts include: • Overall relaxation • Relief for tight muscles, aches, and pains • Increased fl exibility and range of motion • More energy • Improved mood • Better sleep The two most common massages for relaxation and stress relief are the Relax- ation/Swedish Massage and the Deep Tis- sue Massage. Both massages are offered at LaVida Massage. Relaxation/Swedish Massage Swedish massage is probably the most common of all massage therapies. The therapist will use a variety of strokes and pressures, as well as a movement of the joints. The four strokes most commonly used in this type of massage are: Effl eurage (a smooth, gliding stroke to relax soft tis- sue), Petrissage (the squeezing, rolling or kneading that follows Effl eurage), Friction (deep, circular movements that increase blood fl ow) and Tapotment (short, alternat- ing taps done with cupped hands, fi ngers, or the edge of the hand). This combination of movements relieves muscle tension and can be both relaxing and energizing. Swedish massage is a great introductory massage for anyone who is new to massage and simply wants to feel better. Deep Tissue Massage If you are experiencing soreness af- ter a workout, slept wrong, feeling knotted from sitting at a desk all day, or just have some "trouble spots" from everyday activ- ities, a Deep Tissue Massage may be just the solution. Deep Tissue Massage involves slow deliberate strokes that focus pressure on the layers of muscles, tendons, and other deep tissues under your skin. This massage, though less rhythmic than others, is ideal for pinpoint areas that need a little more at- tention. It can be an ideal addition to your regular therapeutic massage routine or used throughout the year when you are experi- encing extra stress or conditioning. Contact LaVida Massage and Med- Spa for a free skin consultation. A private consultation will help the LaVida staff de- velop a treatment plan to meet your specifi c skin care needs and help educate you on the available options.
