Home Massage London & Essex

A proper home massage by a trained massage therapist is a well known technique for relaxing tense and sore muscles, often associated with stress. However massage techniques can also be used to relief chronic pain and as a pain management system.

It is thought that massage relieves pain by interfering with the body’s ability to send signals to the brain that are then interpreted as pain. Pain signals pass along the spinal cord up into the brain, where these impulses are perceived as pain. However by performing a massage and rubbing the muscles, other signals are sent along the same nerves, competing with the pain signals so that less pain impulses reach the brain.

As well as stopping the pain signals reaching the brain, massaging also causes the body to release endorphins, or ‘happy chemicals’, which are similar to morphine and act as natural painkillers.

Massage helps relieve pain that originates from muscles (be it in the back, neck, shoulders, head), by improving circulation and bringing more oxygen to the muscles and allowing them to relax, receive nourishment. Slow, circular movements are most beneficial for relieving muscle pain. It  has been shown to relieve the pain associated with arthritis, labor pains in pregnant women and back pain. Chronic pain has many causes and is different for everyone. Sometimes injuries cause the muscles around the injured area to contract as a way of protecting that area, however if not dealt with and allowed to continue, this constant muscle tension can press on nerves and cause pain, constant tingling or sometimes numbness.  Various studies have shown that massage can help dilates the blood vessels, reduces lactic acid levels and increases the lymphatic circulation and blood circulation so removing toxic waste from the body that can irritate nerve endings and promoting healing of the tissues.

The great news is you no longer have to take yourself off to have a massage because you can enjoy one from the comfort of your own home.
