Mike Kolberg, rmt at Cloverdale Massage has been providing exceptional therapeutic massage for the past 30 years with a strong emphasis on Deep Tissue Massage & Myofascial Trigger Point release;

 

Deep tissue massage is effective for several reasons:

1. Breaks up muscle tension: Deep tissue massage involves applying sustained pressure and slow strokes to the deeper layers of muscles, tendons, and fascia. This helps to break up adhesions and knots in the muscles, which can cause pain and tension.

2. Improves blood flow: The pressure applied during deep tissue massage also helps to increase blood flow to the targeted areas. This increased circulation helps to bring oxygen and nutrients to the muscles, and it also helps to remove waste products like lactic acid that can contribute to muscle soreness.

3. Reduces inflammation: Deep tissue massage can also help to reduce inflammation in the targeted areas. This is because the pressure applied during the massage helps to stimulate the release of anti-inflammatory substances, such as cytokines and prostaglandins.

4. Releases endorphins: Deep tissue massage can also stimulate the release of endorphins, which are natural painkillers produced by the body. This can help to reduce pain and promote feelings of relaxation and well-being.

Deep tissue massage can be an effective way to address chronic pain and tension in the muscles, as well as improve overall physical and emotional well-being.

​

Trigger point release is effective because it targets specific areas of muscle tissue that have become tight and painful, known as trigger points. These trigger points can cause referred pain, muscle weakness, and restricted range of motion. Here are some reasons why trigger point release is effective:

1. Relieves pain: Trigger point release can provide immediate relief from pain caused by the trigger points. This is achieved by applying pressure to the trigger point, which can help to release the tension and reduce the pain.

2. Increases blood flow: Trigger point release can also help to increase blood flow to the affected area, which can help to bring oxygen and nutrients to the muscle tissue, and aid in the removal of waste products that can contribute to muscle soreness.

3. Reduces muscle tension: Trigger point release can help to reduce muscle tension and promote relaxation. This is because the pressure applied during the release helps to break up the tightness in the muscle fibers, allowing them to relax.

4. Restores range of motion: Trigger point release can help to restore range of motion and improve flexibility. This is because the tightness in the muscle fibers can restrict movement, and releasing the trigger points can help to loosen the muscle tissue and restore normal movement.

Overall, trigger point release can be an effective way to address chronic pain and tension caused by trigger points, and can help to improve overall physical well-being. It is often used in conjunction with other therapeutic techniques, such as massage or stretching, to achieve the best results.
