All About Deep Tissue Massage New Orleans

By William Roberts


Deep tissue massage combines different massage techniques that target different muscles in our bodies. A session focuses on addressing any pains and tension on the client's body. Deep tissue massage New Orleans is an all-inclusive approach preferred by many massage therapists as it is also versatile.

Some of the common techniques that are integrated into deep tissue massage include the therapeutic touch, Swedish massage, and structural integration techniques. All levels of the body tissues are addressed in one way or another depending on the technique chosen. A therapist can choose a technique that will work best to reach the desired muscle.

The integration of the various techniques is also effective in getting the desired outcome. A therapist practicing deep tissue therapy needs to have the right knowledge and understanding of the human anatomy and physiology.

With a good grasp of these sciences, it is easy to identify the cause of any muscular pain a client may have and the muscle holding pattern. The right technique can then be used on the client to get the right results. The client can, therefore, recover from the pain he or she may be experiencing and return to his or her normal self.

Pain and discomfort can originate from the normal daily activities and lifestyle putting a demand on the client's body. This can lead to chronic patterns of tension and stress. Natural occurring forces such as gravity can also create stress and tension, especially on joints. Constant contraction and repetitive movements can also cause pain and restricted movements.

Our bodies react to injury by restricting movement on the affected body part. This way further injury is avoided and any perceived threat. If the injury continues, more pain and stiffness is experienced. Emotional stressors and life can also cause tension in our bodies.

Deep massage therapy is popular for the main benefit it has for reducing stress levels. Many therapists face a common scenario where they find muscular tensions in clients caused by psychological stresses. These locked up stress areas are referred to as stress knots or trigger points.

During a session, the tension can be released leading to a release of emotions. The clients can cry, laugh or get a sense of relief. This can create an uncomfortable session for the client and therapist. But it is important to note that this is a common result of the massage therapy.

When this happens, a professional should be able to handle the situation and make the client feel comfortable, safe and secure when going through the occurrence. The client can be given time to recover by taking a short break from the massage session. He or she can later be assured that it is a beneficial part of the massage session.

Another thing that a professional needs to do is to be respectful of the needs of the client. Any boundaries set by the client should be respected and not crossed. It is important that the client feels in control of the session. By observing the body language of the client, the professional can gauge when the pressure is too much and adjust especially when massaging a sensitive area.

Slower movement is encouraged when massaging the deep-layered tissues. Soreness is a normal occurrence for deep tissue massage. However, when it leads to bruises and pain, it is not normal. A therapist should not overwork a client during a session as this can lead to pain beyond the client's threshold. If a client has such an experience he or she may be hesitant to reschedule. This then contradicts the main benefit of the massage which is to return one's body to a healthy state and increase body movements.
