Therapeutic massage in Physical and mental wellbeing

By Complementary Therapies by Greta 

I have found through experience of doing thousands of therapeutic massages that a high portion of the clients choose to have more routine treatments particular around, neck, middle and lower back, because of the benefits of treating the muscles of those areas plus the good feeling of wellbeing they experience after treatment.

A thorough deep tissue massage not only help to relieve pain patterns, due to busy work, and family lives and quite often physical reaction to stress and anxiety, the clients also have told me they experience relaxation afterwards.  

I want to emphasize that deep tissue, is a massage technique that works on the deeper layers of muscle tissue and uses slow, firm strokes and pressure to ease and release tension deep in your muscles.  

Be aware that the goal of deep tissue massage is not to leave you feeling relaxed; it tends to tackle particular physical, muscular problems but you may experience relaxation due to improvement of pain.  I can tell you that some firm pressure applied by a skilled and experienced therapist, around the neck and back muscles will make you feel so much better.  This effect is due to the increase of blood flow to the area in tension.

It is normal to feel a bit sore, or tired after a deep tissue massage, so give yourself plenty of time to get settled, and have a lie-down, put some cold compress or hot if you prefer or even have a shower afterwards.  

Remember it is really important to drink plenty of water to continue to flush out the toxins in the muscles and any discomfort should go away within a few hours.

Now you know what deep tissue is and its benefit; if you add- on to your treatment CBD oil this will go beyond the expected response of the typical deep tissue treatment. 

I want to explain what CBD stands for. CBD is cannabidiol. It is the second most prevalent of the active ingredients of cannabis.  It is derived directly from the hemp plant, which is a cousin of the marijuana plant. 

I read a USA Harvard study about the use of CBD on children, and this says that CBD's strongest scientific evidence is for its effectiveness in treating childhood epilepsy syndromes.  Other studies have been conducted and has shown that CBD is commonly used to address anxiety, and for patients who suffer of insomnia, those studies suggest that CBD may help with both falling asleep and staying asleep.  

A study from the European Journal of Pain showed that CBD inhibits inflammatory and neuropathic pain, so in this way is where CBD may offer an option for treating different types of chronic pain.  Is here where the CBD oil comes to show the therapeutic effect when apply topical through the skin.

Therapeutic CBD oil, balms, and sticks can only be obtained through your licensed massage therapist and other practitioner involved in this area of pain.  

I personally have witnessed the wonder of CBD. Since I have license, I bought some CBD oil, balms,  and stick for therapeutic use, and  recently while on holiday to the beach I had a tremendous muscular pain in my left calf, I used the CBD balm along with a self-massage and the pain went away. I applied three times with self massage and next day I was recovered.  So, I believe the combination of massage and CBD oil is a wonderful resource massage therapists have to offer to clients.

Whichever way you prefer the treatment to be done, consider that this is always an investment in your own wellbeing. Remember you only have one body and mind, so look after it.
