Massage Treatments
At BeautyWorx we offer a variety of massage therapies to choose from. Sure, it can help you relax — but massage therapy can do much more than that.
It can counteract all that sitting you do
Most individuals are dealing with some kind of postural stress. More often than not [that stress] tends to manifest in the shoulders and neck. Desk workers, be aware, more advanced forms of postural stress show up as pain or weakness in the lower back and glutarals caused by prolonged periods of sitting. Massage can counteract the imbalance caused from sitting. This means you can keep your desk job as long, as you schedule a regular massage.
It eases Muscle pain
Massage therapy can help. Massage increases and improves circulation. Just like rubbing your elbow when you knock it on a table helps to relieve the pain.
A 2011 study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, found benefits of massage therapy as effective as other methods of treatment for chronic back pain.
It soothes anxiety and depression
Human touch, in a context that is safe, friendly and professional, can be incredibly therapeutic and relaxing. Women diagnosed with breast cancer who received massage therapy three times a week reported being less depressed and less angry, according to a 2005 study published in the International Journal of Neuroscience.
And, a study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, found that patients who were depressed and anxious were much more relaxed and happy, and had reduced stress levels after massage.
It improves Sleep
Not only do benefits of massage encourage a restful sleep, but it also helps those who can’t otherwise comfortably rest. “Massage promotes relaxation and sleep in those undergoing chemo or radiation therapy. Also, massages help infants sleep more, cry less and be less stressed, according to research from the University of Warwick.
It boosts Immunity
A 2010 study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that massage boosts patients’ white blood cell count, which plays a large role in defending the body from disease. Additionally, it also “improves immune function for individuals with HIV.
It relieves Headaches
Next time a headache hits, try booking a last-minute massage. Massage decreases frequency and severity of tension headaches. Research from Granada University in Spain found that a single session of massage therapy immediately effects perceived pain in patients with chronic tension headaches.
Lymph Drainage
Lymphatic drainage massage is a form of gentle massage that encourages the movement of lymph fluids around the body.
The fluid in the lymphatic system helps remove waste and toxins from the bodily tissues. Some health conditions can cause lymph fluid to build up. Lymphatic drainage massages can benefit people with lymphedema, fibromyalgia, and other conditions.
PLASMA FIBROBLAST
Plasma fibroblast therapy is a non-invasive, non-surgical skin tightening treatment that uses a device to create controlled micro-injuries, stimulating collagen and elastin production for skin rejuvenation. This therapy can be used on the body, offering a way to tighten, lift, and firm skin, as well as improve the appearance of scars, and stretch marks. The treatment is effective for Fibromas, Skin Tags, Age Spots, and other non-benign lesions on the face and body. Scabbing: Small crust-like spots may form on the treated areas and naturally slough off within a week. Mild burning or tingling: Some patients may experience a mild burning or tingling sensation during the treatment.
MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling can help improve the appearance and texture of your skin. It can minimize stretch marks, scars, and other skin concerns. It doesn't carry the risk of skin discoloration. Skin needling will create the micro-injuries which will ultimately trigger the growth of fibroblast cells that will stimulate the production of collagen resulting in plumper and smoother-looking skin.
What are the Benefits?
While the heart continuously pumps blood through the blood vessels, the lymphatic system relies on the movement of smooth muscles to transport fluid through the lymph vessels.
Health conditions can interrupt the normal flow of lymph, causing lymph fluid to build up in a particular area of the body, often in the arms or legs, where it can cause swelling. This condition is called lymphedema. People can develop lymphedema as a result of infections, cancer treatments that involve the removal of lymph nodes, and any condition that damages the lymphatic system.
Lymphatic massage can reduce swelling and improve circulation throughout the lymphatic system. Lymphatic massage usually forms part of a treatment program called decongestive lymphatic therapy (DLT).
Who can Benefit?
Lymphatic drainage massage can benefit people who are experiencing the following:
• lymphedema
• fibromyalgia
• swelling or edema
• skin disorders
• fatigue
• insomnia
• stress
• digestive problems
• arthritis
• migraine episodes
