MASSAGE

It dates back over 3,000 years and was used among the ancient Hindus, Persians, Egyptians, and Chinese. Massage helps relieve stress, tension, spine pain, arthritis, bursitis, fatigue, depression, and more.

We at B YOU Medical & Aesthetics our Licensed Massage Therapists manipulates the superficial and deeper layers of the muscles and connective tissue using various techniques to enhance function, aid in the healing process and promote relaxation and well-being.

HOW DOES THE MASSAGE WORK?

Massage increases blood flow to specific muscles. It speeds up the delivery of the nutrients they need to function properly and speeds up the removal of metabolic wastes that can cause pain and delay recovery. If you do not move much during the day, your blood flow is naturally reduced. Massage is a great way to get everything going again.

Repetitive use in a stationary position (such as sitting at a desk all day) can cause muscle fibers to become hypertonic. These are the “knots” you often feel in your neck and shoulders. If left untreated, they eventually become painful. Massage can work on the problem tissue, lengthening it and reducing muscle tone until a normal range of motion can be restored.

Massage is not only to treat injured tissue, but also to prevent injury. It keeps all of your “strings” moving smoothly and with the proper strength and length.

If you are a dedicated athlete, massage can be essential in speeding recovery from muscle fatigue, allowing you to get back to your sport faster without resorting to pain relievers or anti-inflammatories. If you are stressed and overworked, massage can reduce muscle tone and help you relax.

During a massage, the problem area is searched to identify any problems with the tissues. We use a variety of techniques that may involve moving it to stretch, contract, or access muscles that can only be reached from certain angles.
