What is Neuro Massage?
If you have any type of disorder or problem with the nervous system such as spinal cord or head injury, Parkinson’s or MS, or general physical disability, then a neuro-type massage can be extremely beneficial.
To get the best from the many neuro massage benefits available, an expert in the field of neuro-massage will use their knowledge of neuroscience plus therapeutic massage to help relax the nervous system, focusing on the parts of the body responsible for how we touch and feel pain. At the same time, your therapist will work on the muscles to help restore and maintain functional ability and minimise physical problems. As with all massages, the process will also aid circulation and relaxation.
It is vital that your neuromassage is carried out by an experienced therapist who is used to working with neurological conditions and illnesses. Once they have a good understanding of the areas of your body requiring attention, they will develop a personal plan of treatment. Many people can benefit from the positive effect of a Neuro Massage, not only those with disorders of the nervous system.
Whether the problem is chronic pain, stress or movement problems, this type of massage can be a great help. Clients with special needs also find Neuro Massage a superb experience as not only does it feel good but it helps to improve not only health but the general quality of life. So, we’ve rounded up some top neuro massage benefits below, to help you understand why it is importance.
Top Neuro Massage Benefits
Pain Reduction
- Reduce general aches and pains – as the body responds to the gentle massage applied by the therapist, unpleasant aches and pains will decrease.
- Delay of muscular atrophy – Spasms due to inactivity and muscle tightness can also be reduced.
Improve Muscle Tone
- Improved circulation and reduced fluid reduction – extremities such as hands, legs and feet may appear less swollen and the skin colour much improved as collections of fluid are redirected as the general circulation improves.
- Improved muscle tone – as the muscles are massaged, flexibility improves. At the same time, the range of motion available in joints increases.
IMproved Circulation
- Improved digestion – as the whole body relaxes and stress is relieved, digestion improves and constipation is alleviated.
- Increased blood and lymph circulation – this is due to the stimulation of the circulatory system.
- Positive impact upon the central nervous system – as the body relaxes, the central nervous system responds.
Reduced Stress
- Better relaxation and stress reduction – muscular spasms will be more controlled and stress generally reduced.
- Help with emotional wellbeing and bonding – tactile stimulation can help to increase trust, creating a platform for more sociable behaviour.
- Improved sleep – as the nervous system becomes more relaxed, sleep patterns should improve and insomnia reduce.
