In The News

Massage therapy is the natural choice for pain relief—an understatement, as prescription pain medication abuse has now reached "epidemic" proportions.

That was asserted this week by two top U.S. health agencies.

"The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration state that prescription drug abuse is an epidemic," Mike Wahl, M.D., F.A.C.E.P., F.A.C.M.T., medical director of the Illinois Poison Center, said. "Prescription painkillers, specifically, are responsible for the bulk of this public health crisis.

Massage therapy has been found to reduce headache pain, back pain, and pain in
cancer and general hospital patients, in numerous, unrelated studies.

Painkillers (analgesics) were the number one substance most frequently involved in all human exposure cases reported to poison center in 2011. In addition, analgesic (painkiller) exposures as a class increased more rapidly than any other substance over the past 11 years, according to the American Association of Poison Control Centers' National Poison Data System.

Massage Therapy and Other CAM Therapies Provide "Remarkable Relief" of Back Pain

Massage therapy and five other types of complementary health care effect "great benefit" for back-pain sufferers, according to recent research.

Back pain is the second-leading reason for ambulatory visits in the U.S. This survey aimed to explore promising CAM therapies.

Overall, 60 percent of the more than 31,000 people surveyed who had at least one CAM therapy in the last 12 months found "remarkable relief" using the top six complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) modalities, the researchers noted. Those modalities included:

• Massage therapy
• Chiropractic
• Yoga/ tai chi/qi gong
• Acupuncture
• Herbal therapies
• Relaxation techniques

Chiropractic care is the most-popular CAM therapy used for back pain, with massage therapy second-most popular, at 22 percent of respondents using it..

Just 24 percent of respondents who received CAM stated that their conventional medical practitioner suggested the use of CAM for back pain. Others turned to CAM treatments because they felt "conventional medicine would not help," when dealing with severe back pain,
the press release noted.

"Perceived Benefit of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) for Back Pain" was published in the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine. Researchers looked at used data from the 2002 National Health Interview Survey to determine relationships "between the perceived helpfulness of various CAM therapies for back pain."

The research was conduced by:
• The Division for Research and Education in Complementary and Integrative Medical Therapies, Harvard Medical School Osher Research Center, Boston, Massachusetts

• The Department of Medicine, Division of General Medicine and Primary Care, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts

• Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Cambridge, Massachusetts

• The Department of Medicine, Osher Clinical Center for Complementary and Integrative Medical Therapies, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts

Although there are many different kinds of massage, with various names, massage can be divided into three basic types. Acupressure refers to massages from Asia that focus on pressure points and the movement of energy through the body. Swedish massage focuses on improving circulation of blood and lymph and relaxing superficial muscles. Deep tissue massage focuses on connective tissue, and the goal is to produce changes in movement and posture.

 

 

What can you expect and how can you prepare for receiving deep tissue massage?

 

There are some massage and bodywork techniques which are deep tissue by definition - for example, rolfing. There are some which can be deep or light, depending on the needs of the receiver, like lomilomi or shiatsu. Warning Japanese love hard shiatsu and will probably do that. Ask them first. Finally, there are some massage and bodywork techniques which are light by definition, for example craniosacral therapy and lymph drainage massage.

 

So, let's say you wanted deep tissue massage. Usually people who ask for that are athletic and/or stressed out and have lots of tight muscles that need releasing.

 

Deep does not necessarily mean painful. It is possible to go deep in a rather soft way, sinking through the tissue - slowly. So, the deeper we go, the slower it gets. If deep is combined with fast, it can hurt. We try to avoid that. If the receiver tightens, then what's the point of having the massage? It is not about a wrestling match between the therapist and the receiver.

 

Sometimes deep tissue massage can be painful, for example when encountering knots or trigger points, or very tight, thick bands. However, even that pain is not something that makes the receiver cringe and tighten. It is more of a "good" pain, where the tissue feels like releasing and melting.

 

Therefore, keep your therapist informed and let them know if anything feels like too much. To repeat: the overall feeling is of release and relaxation, letting go - not tightening up. The therapist has to find the edge that is challenging yet comfortable.

 

The effects of deep tissue massage will be felt the next day and maybe even longer. If the massage was very thorough and a lot of tissue was moved and released, the effects will be felt maybe for the entire week, as the body adjusts to the new structure. Prepare for that by taking steps to ensure that the healing process unravels.

 

The massage itself is just the start of the healing process that the body goes into. So, immediately after the massage, take a walk, sit for a while, meditate, go easy. Don't rush back into activities. Don't have any other kind of bodywork for at least 24 hours. The day of the massage is not a good day for partying and going wild. The day of the massage is good day for being quiet, contemplative, and resting and relaxing. A vacation day.

 

The time after the deep tissue massage is the time to detox. If you feel sore, just drink some more water and eat more lightly, more fruits and vegetables. Maybe soak in some sea salt water or rub with sea salt. Since the tissue is released on a deep level, all the stored toxins and waste products will be leaving the body. Therefore, drink a lot of water, urinate, eat lightly, sweat, and have bowel movement. Get it all out! Some old emotions or memories might come back too. Just let it all go....

 

In short: deep tissue massage is a powerful way to remodel the body. Treat it with respect and you will reap great benefits.
