Why Massage Therapy and Fitness go hand in hand
Many people are jumping on the fitness wagon and getting into a routine of all types of physical activities: team sports, aerobics, weightlifting, yoga, you name it, massage therapy can enhance your workout routine.
With this exercise, reports Benny Vaughn in an article from Biotone, comes sore muscles, sprains, pain, spasm and myofascial adhesions. Vaughn reports that massage therapy is the key to healing from and preventing the above complaints and many more. The goals in massage therapy with an injured muscle or joint is to first normalize the area with massage and then to improve flexibility. After this has been accomplished it is possible to then reintroduce movements to areas that had not been previously able to maintain certain patterns (due to injury to strain).
While massage therapy is no substitute for medical attention, it can help to rehabilitate a sports or fitness injury and alleviate pain from sore muscles. It is also useful to learn techniques of self-massage that can be done on certain areas; tennis elbow or shin splints are accessible areas where self-massage would enhance healing and flexibility as well as alleviate some soreness between professional sessions. Always check with your doctor before beginning a massage therapy regimen.

What Is Deep Tissue Massage ?
By Anitra Brown, About.com Guide
Deep tissue massage is a type of massage aimed at the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia, also called connective tissue. Deep tissue massage uses many of the same movements and techniques as Swedish massage, but the pressure will generally be more intense. It is also a more focused type of massage, as the therapist works to release chronic muscle tension or knots (also known as “adhesions.”)
Will A Deep Tissue Massage Hurt?
It shouldn’t hurt, but it’s likely to be a bit more uncomfortable than a classic Swedish massage. You should always feel free to speak up if the pressure is too much for you.
How Fast Will I Get Results With A Deep Tissue Massage?
It’s important to be realistic about what one massage can achieve. Many people ask for more pressure, thinking that if the therapist just pushes hard enough, they can get rid of all their knots in an hour. This just won’t happen. In fact, undoing chronic knots and tension built up over a lifetime is best achieved with an integrated program that includes exercise, work on your posture and ways of moving, relaxation techniques and a regular program of massage.
Finally, while deep tissue is certainly valuable, you should be aware that gentle styles of massage like craniosacral therapy can also produce profound release and realignment in the body.
