Massage Helps Relax Muscles in Ottawa ON

massage therapy helps relax muscles

Do you need help with relaxed muscles in Ottawa ON? Muscle soreness is something that everyone can relate to. We usually associate this feeling with hard and intense physical activity but you can create muscle soreness through otherwise less strenuous activities.


Massage Can Help Relax Muscles in Ottawa ON

Sitting, for example, is a seemingly mindless activity but if you are sitting with poor posture then you are creating unnecessary stress in your muscles which may lead to back and neck pain. Low back pain is actually the most common reason for disability and the second most common reason for calling into work.

There are also other causes of additional, unnecessary strain on your back and other areas of your body. These include:

  • Overweight or obesity
  • Repetitive movements
  • Carrying/lifting improperly

Strains can lead to muscle spasms, stiffness, and pain that can radiate throughout your back, hips, legs, and glutes. So, how can you naturally relax your muscles? Massage therapy.


Muscular Therapy

Muscular therapy is another term for massage. By getting a massage you are working directly with the superficial and deep muscles, increasing blood flow and allowing them to relax and be more flexible. By increasing the blood flow, the muscles can also receive the proper amount of nutrients and oxygen. The end result? Decreased swelling, tension, and pain and increased mobility. There are also chemical reactions that occur in the body during a massage. Endorphins (responsible for the feelings of happiness and relaxation) are released which triggers the release of serotonin and dopamine. This combination of "happy hormones" gets you and your body feeling good which increases healing and pain management in a natural way.
