Decontracting Massage
MASSAGE MARBELLA BY SUSAN
The decontracting massage is, as its name suggests, the best way to relieve a contracture, that is the continuous and involuntary contraction of a muscle and its fibres. It causes pain and an alteration of its normal functioning.
There are many types of contractures and they are not only common in athletes, as we might think. They appear in people with sedentary lifestyles, older people or people who are under a great deal of stress. Bad posture, inadequate weight bearing, lack of rest or excessive exercise are also common causes of contractures.
Decontracting massage is the indicated treatment for body aches and pains. Its main function is to eliminate the contractures that have been created in the body for various reasons and the result is a muscular relaxation that is very beneficial for health and wellbeing.
The most common areas in which decontracting massages are carried out are the neck, the lumbar area and the back. Their main function is to relieve tension, relax the muscles and dissolve contractures.
Our body needs to be moved from time to time, so a massage can be a good option to decontract the body and relax at the same time.
Although a decontracting massage may seem painful in itself, it is not. Although it is a slightly stronger massage than usual, you will only notice the discomfort in the tense areas and the benefit afterwards will be great: those areas will be free of tension and you will feel, above all, relief.
