 Many times people don't know how much stress they are carrying until they have a
massage. It is as good thing to feel it and just let go of it. As the licensed massage
therapist loosens and stretches muscles and connective tissues, stress and muscular
tension are released and melt away. Once you have an awareness of where stress lodges
in your body you can begin to do something about it. Through proper health education
you can reverse a negative cycle.
Massages can do a myriad of things, such as: alleviate low-back pain and improve
range of motion, enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow, exercise and stretch
weak, tight, or atrophied muscles and increase joint flexibility.
The massage therapists at the Goldsboro Spine Center specialize in several different
types of massage. We have a massage menu that will suit most of your needs. Some
of the most common types of massages performed are:

A neuromuscular massage is often prescribed for injuries and conditions of pain.
The goal is to soften the muscles and break up adhesions, so that the doctor can
begin spinal care and rehabilitation procedures with minimal discomfort to the patient.
Once the body has been freed of muscle spasms and pain, the doctor can begin to
restore normal ranges of motion, strengthen, and increase flexibility to the spine.
This treatment would aid in stabilizing the spine, which would decrease the chance
of future injuries. |

A swedish massage is the most common type of massage therapy in
the United States. The therapist uses long smooth strokes, kneading, and circular
movements on superficial layers of muscle using massage lotion or oil. If you've
never had massage before, this is a good one to try first.

|
Aromatherapy massage is a massage with the addition of one or more
scented plant oils called essential oils to address specific needs. This type of
massage is particularly suited to stress-related conditions or conditions with an
emotional component.

During a hot stone massage, heated, smooth stones are placed on
certain points on the body to warm and loosen tight muscles and balance energy centers
in the body. Hot stone massage is good for people who have muscle tension but prefer
lighter massage. |
|
A deep tissue massage targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective
tissue. The massage therapist uses slower strokes or friction techniques across
the grain of the muscle. It is most commonly used for chronically tight or painful
muscles, repetitive strain, postural problems, or recovery from injury. People often
feel sore for one to two days after deep tissue massage |
|
The sports massage is specifically designed for people who are
involved in physical activity. The focus isn't on relaxation, but on preventing
and treating injury and enhancing athletic performance. The strokes are generally
faster than swedish massage and facilitated stretching is a common technique. It
helps to loosen muscles and increase flexibility. |
