What is Massage Therapy?
Massage involves a manual application of pressure and movement to soft body tissues the skin, muscles, tendon, ligaments, and fascia (membranes surrounding muscles). Massage is believed to increase blood circulation and flow of lymph (fluid from body tissues that flows into the blood stream). It helps the body to heal itself by promoting the flow of blood and lymph, stimulating nerves, conditioning the skin, and stretching and loosening muscles to keep them elastic. Massage also has a positive psychological effect. When we are stressed, our breathing becomes more rapid and shallow, our hearts work harder and digestion slows down. Chronic stress can influence a number of illnesses including migraines, depression, and hypertension. Massage therapy can help to relieve tension and counteract the effects of stress on the body. 
What techniques are used in Massage Therapy? There are dozens of specialised massage techniques in use today. The most common types are:
Do I have a Pinched Nerve?
The disc is a soft pulpy shock absorber. It has a fibrous outer ring held in a jelly-like material. A slipped disc is a common way to refer to a wide variety of disc problems. However, a disc can't slip because of the way it attaches to the spinal bones above and below it. A disc can bulge. It can tear. It can herniate. It can thin. It can drop out. And it can collapse. But it can't slip.
Who and What is Massage Therapy ideal for?
Qualifications and Communication
It is important to make sure that your massage therapist is qualified. Ask to see your Massage Therapist's qualifications prior treatment. The HIC recognises specific College and University courses in Massage Therapy. Good communication with your therapist is also necessary so that your therapist knows what feels best to you, what makes you feel comfortable, and what you expect from the session.
Who shoudn't have Massage Therapy? Massage therapy is not recommended for anyone with an infectious skin disease, a rash, or an unhealed wound. It should be avoided immediately after surgery, if you have phlebitis or varicose veins, areas of bleeding or tissue damage, bruises, recent bone fractures and sprains. If the massage is painful to you, do not continue the treatment. Cancer patients should have a doctors referral before undertaking massage therapy. As with any type of complementary medicine therapy, massage is not a cure for disease and you should continue to see your doctor regularly for check-ups, screenings, and treatment. Can I have Massage Therapy on my private medical insurance? Most private health funds give benefits for massage treatments. Reimbursement will depend on the insurer and the plan you have chosen. Contact the helpline of your insurance company who will explain the actual benefits and methods of claim for your individual policy. |
