A massage technique that is used with a firm pressure to allow the therapist to penetrate the superficial layers of tissue and fascia.
Used in conjunction with other massage techniques to ensure the body has time to relax and recover.
Pressure is dictated by the client.
Trigger point therapy is most likely to be used in conjunction with deep tissue massage. Whereby tense, painful knots will be released through sustainable pressure.
A collection of massage techniques used to manipulate soft tissue, predominantly the superficial muscles of the body.
Many clients use this type of massage to promote relaxation, relieve pain, stress, muscle tension and cope with various heath conditions.
It can also be an ideal massage to have before a sporting event.
Myofascial cupping is a great alternative to other massage techniques, but can be combined as well.
The superficial muscle is drawn into the cup, creating a negative pressure above the surface of the skin and therefore changing the pressure beneath the skin, lifting the muscle fibres and affecting surrounding fascia.
The gliding technique creates a push/compression effect to encourage the circulation of blood, the breaking up of adhesions and hydrating the muscle.
It is ideal for scar tissue, to decrease tissue inflammation after trauma, decrease trigger point pain and muscle spasms and enhances the bodies ability to recover from workouts and strenuous activity.
The goal of this cupping technique is not to bruise the client. However, all skin is different in it's sensitivity and some clients may have more redness than others.
