An Inside Look at Massage Therapy

October 19, 2015 by admin Leave a Comment

History of massage therapy - Eclipse Wellness Center - Houston

Reduced pain, fewer muscle spasms and relaxation are only a few benefits of massage therapy.

Have you ever wondered how massage therapy began? How did we discover its benefits?

There is evidence of massage therapy depicted throughout history in ancient stories communicated through pictures before the written text was common. Civilizations from around the world used the power of touch to heal the sick, and, today, global cultures still do.

Massage therapy has evolved into a powerful, natural medicine technique used to heal the mind and body. Many medical issues can be treated without the use of narcotics or medication. Massage is an effective method to reduce and relieve muscle spasms, back pains, sprains, depression, limited range of motion and more!

Before you start your massage session, talk to your therapist about your specific goals. Are you looking to reduce pain caused from a sports injury? Are you trying to increase flexibility? Are you searching for a means to relax and de-stress? Sharing your goals with your therapist will ensure you get what you need and want out of your massage session.

To find out more about the benefits of massage therapy, call Eclipse Wellness today!

4 Things to Look for in a Massage Therapist

August 29, 2015 by admin Leave a Comment

Finding a massage therapist can be an intimidating experience, but knowing what to look for prevents this negative feeling from creeping up on you. Here are four things you should keep in mind when searching a sports massage or massage therapy specialist that is right for you.

1. Personality

Before scheduling your appointment, talk to the potential massage therapist first. Is the person kind and sensitive? Or is it someone who emits grumpiness, rudeness or disinterest? These are important aspects to discover prior to your appointment.

2. Cleanliness

A massage therapist works in different atmospheres, such as a spa, home or fitness center. These are some of the most bacteria infested places. So you need to make sure your specialist keeps his/her hands, massage table and area clean. Your health is important and you do not want to put it further at risk.

3. Training and Education

Start by asking if your massage therapist is licensed. Find out what school he/she graduated from. How long have they been practicing? Is the license up to date? Can you speak to some of his/her recent clients? All of these factors are essential in finding an experienced, trained, knowledgeable massage therapist. Your health is in this person’s hands, so do not feel intrusive when asking these questions.

4. Location

Talk about where you would like to receive treatment. Where is the most convenient location for the both of you? Once you decide, check out the location to make sure it is somewhere comfortable. It is where you wish to find pain relief so be sure it is a soothing atmosphere.

What do you look for when choosing a massage therapist?

Sports Massage 101: What You Need to Know about Sports Massage

June 5, 2015 by admin Leave a Comment

Eclipse Wellness Houston Sports Massage Therapy

The majority of sports injuries occur from repetitive wear and tear on the body. The pain may not occur at the initial moment of deterioration. This is different than when a person falls down the stairs. The pain and injury appears and is felt immediately. But with sports, it builds over time throughout someone participating in a particular activity, including basketball, golf, marathon training, running and more. Sports massage is designed to heal this type of injury and facilitate rehabilitation.

Benefits of Sports Massage

A sports massage is customized to prevent sports injuries, improve performance level, keep muscles flexible, and reduce negative side effects from over doing it at the gym or in the game. It decreases the amount of stiffness and soreness felt during those extremely hard and long workouts. It keeps your body healthy so there is little to no downtime in-between workouts, practice and games.

When you are working out and participating in sporting activities while your muscles ache, it shifts your body’s movement. It causes an imbalance not present before resulting in an affected performance. It could take away from your training and competing abilities. Instead of putting up with discomfort, fatigue, swelling, aches and pains from a sports injury, call one of our sports massage or trigger point therapy specialists. He/she will be able to restore balance of the musculoskeletal system and release tension through the process. To find out more about what Eclipse Wellness can do for you, call us today!
