Deep Tissue Massage In Richmond: Unwind & Melt Away Tension

In deep tissue massage, the therapist uses more pressure and intensity when working through the muscles. Deep tissue massage is aimed at releasing tense and painful muscle knots that are often associated with physical discomfort, stress, and headaches. Studies indicate that deep tissue massage can help to improve flexibility and range of motion and significantly reduce pain, especially among people who are recovering from an injury. Our Richmond clients rave about our deep tissue massage skills - find out what all the fuss is about and schedule your appointment with Nirvana Bodywork.

Prenatal Massage & Pregnancy Relief In Richmond

Researchers have found that prenatal massage can improve many aspects of overall well-being during pregnancy. A few of the benefits of prenatal massage include higher levels of "feel-good" hormones serotonin and dopamine, a reduction in stress and anxiety, lower risk of premature labor, and higher fetal birth weight. Massage has also proven to be beneficial in the postpartum period and even during labor - some women report that massage helped them manage the pain of childbirth. To find out more about prenatal massage therapy in the Richmond area, give Nirvana Bodywork a call today.

Massage FAQs

Prenatal massage offers a number of benefits - from pain relief to hormone regulation to reduced stress and more. Using long, sweeping strokes and minimal pressure, prenatal massage is performed in areas of the body that will most benefit from the attention and is tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual patient. Having regular prenatal massage therapy can improve your circulation, which reduces swelling and flushes out toxins. Our Richmond patients have reported that they sleep better, they feel a reduction in stress, and that it has made a difference in their birthing experience. To find out more about our prenatal and postnatal massage services, give us a call today to speak to one of our friendly staff members.

Deep tissue massage is a modality that involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscle and connective tissues. During a deep tissue massage, you can expect to lie on your stomach or back under a sheet while your therapist applies pressure to areas where you experience discomfort - your back, neck, shoulders, buttocks, or legs, for example. You can let your therapist know if you feel uncomfortable, if there are areas that need extra attention, or if you would like to avoid certain areas. If you have more questions about deep tissue massage, or if you would like to request an appointment, contact us using the link provided.

The answer to your question really depends on your needs and your lifestyle. Some of our Richmond clients start off with monthly sessions, then make adjustments to increase or reduce the frequency based on their personal needs. If you're an athlete or work a labor-intensive job, then you may want a weekly massage. If you're addressing long-term issues or coordinating with other medical treatments, we can help you develop a treatment plan that's custom-tailored to meet your specific needs. Give us a call at 804-937-9830 to speak to one of our friendly team members about scheduling massage services in the Richmond area.

Massage therapy is safe and effective for people of all ages. While you may think of having a massage as a way to pamper yourself or indulge, massage is a powerful tool to help you take charge of your physical and mental health and well-being. Whether you have a specific condition or are just looking for a stress reliever, there are many different modalities of massage to address your needs and your lifestyle.

Of course, there are instances when you should not get a massage - if you have a fever, a contagious disease, or certain circulatory issues to name a few. If you're not sure, check with your physician to make sure that you won't suffer adverse effects. The pros at Nirvana Bodywork are experienced massage therapists and can help you refresh your body and your spirit - no matter what age you are or what issues you're experiencing!
