What is a decontracting massage?

The decontracting massage is characterized by being very energetic and working the muscles deeply.

Contractures are most often caused by stress, a sedentary lifestyle, and poor posture

Some of the techniques that are used in this type of massage are:

• Kneading
• Pressures on muscles and on localized pain points
• Circular movements

The most advisable is that this type of massage is performed by a specialized professional as he/she will know exactly where to press and with what force so as not to harm the person receiving the massage.

• Massage by a professional
• Massage on the muscles and on localized pain points
• Circular movements.

In addition, the professional will decide how many sessions will be necessary to eliminate a contracture through massage, usually between two and three weekly sessions.

One of the advantages of this massage is that it has no contraindications or side effects, although there are some people who feel a little sore in the area in the 24 hours after the massage.

When is a decontracting massage needed?

This type of massage is useful in any case that has to do with muscular pain, whether in a general area such as the back or in more specific places such as the lower back.

This massage is generally used by people who have bad postural habits, especially in the work environment.

They are usually used by people who have bad postural habits, especially in the work environment.

It is also frequented by athletes who have a high level of training and, therefore, subject the muscles to great effort.

Many times they have problems of muscle overload that can be solved with a decontracting massage.

In addition, these massages help athletes to increase their ability to recover after exercise by stimulating the muscles.

Although we always talk about back massage, the truth is that it can be applied in other parts of the body.

The ultimate goal of this massage is to prevent contracture from becoming a chronic problem that can lead to long-term health complications.

Benefits of decontracting massage

The first benefit of the decontracting massage is obvious: it frees the muscles from a contracture that is usually painful.

To all this must be added the psychological benefit derived from feeling better, not having pains and sleeping better.

• By eliminating the contracture, the muscles relax, which has the effect of deeper and better quality sleep.
• The massage activates blood circulation and therefore, favors the elimination of toxins from the body.
• It relieves and even reduces headaches caused by contractures affecting the cervical spine.
• Increases energy by releasing the "knots" of the muscles and having a feeling of well-being
• Avoid future contractures by relieving muscle tension
•  

In addition to all this, there is the psychological benefit of feeling better, not having pain and sleeping better.

The effects are immediate, which further increases the feeling of happiness and well-being.

Symptoms after a decontracting massage

What happens right after having a decontracting massage? Here we are going to explain what you are going to feel so that you know if what you feel is normal or not.

The first thing is that you may notice some changes in the surface of the skin and muscles due to the professional's manipulation.

Also, you may feel tiredness and even stiffness. Think that, even if you have been on a stretcher for an hour, your muscles have been in constant movement so it will be as if you have been exercising.

That said if you have received the massage on the legs you will only notice this tiredness in the legs, for example.

You will also notice a slight increase in temperature in the area of the massage, up to 3º, which will oxygenate the skin and muscle.

Lastly, you may feel a slight pain, but not very perceptible.

If you notice anything else, tell your physiotherapist.

Difference between decontracting and relaxing massage

Finally, we want to clarify a confusion that we often see and that is to confuse the decontracting massage with relaxing massages.

As decontracting massage is used to eliminate contractures, it uses a greater force and intensity than those used in a relaxing massage, which only seeks relaxation.

And of course, it is not to be confused with sports massage, which is used to prepare the muscles just before a competition and to reduce tension afterward.

They all have in common that they are not painful and cause immediate well-being.

In some places, you can request a decontracting and relaxing massage to go home with a complete renewal of your muscles.
