They have several types of massage available, all of them serving their own goals. Deep Tissue Massage, for one, is designed to relieve severe tension in the muscle and the connective tissues. Massage s is recommended for individuals who are in constant pain, are involved in heavy physical activity like local Largo athletes, and also patients who have sustained a physical injury. This technique focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the fiber’s of the muscles, tendons and fascia. This is used to release chronic muscle tension through slower strokes and more direct deep pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles and not with the grain. This also helps to break up and eliminate scar tissue. And because this kind of therapy usually focuses on more specific areas and is less concerned about total relaxation, it may cause some soreness during or right after the session. However, if it is done correctly the person should feel better than ever within a day or two.
On the other hand, Sports Massage is also offered for those who participate in athletics and other strenuous physical activities in and around Largo. When a person engages in frequent exercise, the muscles are worked and overworked and will eventually begin to tear down if not looked after. This kind of therapy is then recommended in order for these muscles to mend properly. This therapy involves several kinds of techniques: Deep Swedish, Compression, Cross-Fiber, Trigger Point/Tender Point, and Lymphatic. These methods can be employed to reduce the chance of further injury through proper muscle stretching and preparation. It also improves the bodyâs range of motion and muscle flexibility, shortens the recovery time between workouts, maximizes the supply of nutrients and oxygen through increased blood flow and enhances elimination of metabolic by-products of exercise.
