A Massage Bed with Four Benefits in One?

It may seem hard to believe that lying on a massage bed can help relieve pain, detox your body, burn calories or even help treat chronic diseases – but it can.

Some tout that the Therasage RX 8000s is the greatest message bed ever because it provides patients with an array of benefits commonly associated with far-infared heat, massage therapy, chiropractic care and acupuncture.

Far-Infared Heat

Infared heat (or radiant heat) is a form of energy that heats objects through conversion.  It’s 100 percent safe because it evenly heats objects and not the surrounding air while allowing the body’s cells to absorb more.  Infared light is used in healing due to its ability to raise white blood cell count.  The more white blood cells the greater your immune system functions.

Infared heat can also help the body flush toxins from the body through the skin, allowing your organs to work optimally as poisons from deep within are eliminated.

Far-infared therapy may help with improved blood circulation, strengthen the cardiovascular system, ease joint pain and stiffness, caloric expenditure, increase flexibility, relieve pain, remove toxins, improve immunity and reduce stress and fatigue.

Massage

Experts report that some 90 percent of disease has some association with stress.  This harmful enemy can age the body both internally and externally while leading us to experience many health ills.  Massage therapy is not only a relaxing or pampering form of treatment, but it can be extremely therapeutic in the overall improvement of your well-being.

Massage therapy can help decrease anxiety,  enhance sleep, improve energy, increase circulation and relieve pain.  In addition to relieving tension, massage therapy can help treat chronic diseases, neurological disorders and injuries.

Chiropractic Care

Each year some 22 million Americans will seek the care of a chiropractor and of those, 35 percent will look for relief from back pain.

Chiropractic care involves hands-on spinal manipulation.  When the musculoskeletal structure is properly aligned, the body is able to heal itself and perform optimally.

Traditionally, chiropractic care is used to treat pain associated with muscles, joints, bones and connective tissue.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is more than sticking a few small needles through the skin.  The ancient Chinese practice targets meridians (acupuncture points) on the body in which energy flows.  By using acupuncture needles to stimulate these points, the pressure relieves obstruction and allows the energy to flow freely.  When this is accomplished, the body is able to heal as it was designed to do.

The World Health Organization finds acupuncture effective in treating some 28 conditions, from asthma to dental pain, insomnia to high blood pressure.

Is Your Chiropractor Using the Active Release Technique?

If you’re thinking about chiropractic care as just spinal manipulation, you’re missing out on the complex nature of chiropractic and the different techniques that are used by a variety of practitioners.

Active Release Technique (ART)

Overused muscles cause pulls and tears (or accumulation of small tears) that end up being deprived of oxygen.  When this occurs, dense scar tissue in troubled spots arise, muscles become shorter and weaker, nerves get trapped and tension on the tendons increase.  If you play sports or are just active, you’ll notice the limitations in your range of motion, increased pain and even loss of strength.

ART aims to treat muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves as well as resolving common conditions such as back and knee pain, tennis elbow, shin splits, sciatica, plantar fasciitis and more.

 This is done by examining the texture, tightness and movement of the affected area.  Specified treatment through ART cover over 500 specific moves.

There’s no reason to live with pain nor a reason to not get the treatment that will help resolved the issue, both in the short and long term.  ART is an extremely effective technique designed specifically for these problems.

Got Back Pain?

According to the American Chiropractic Association (ACA), nearly 31 million Americans will experience low back pain at any given time.  It’s also the most common reason for missing work.

Made up of bones, joints, ligaments and muscles, the back if susceptible to pain and injuries, whether it’s sports related or resulting from the simplest movement, such as sleeping in the wrong position, lifting, bending, poor posture, etc.  An underlying disease can also contribute to your back pain.

Chiropractors use spinal manipulation to effectively and safely treat pain without medication.  They look at the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system to focus on disorders using a hands-free approach.

If you’re one of the millions of people experiencing pain, consider seeking care from a chiropractor, like us.  To help prevent future back pain, follow these tips from the ACA:

• Maintain a healthy diet and weight.
• Remain active—under the supervision of your doctor of chiropractic.
• Avoid prolonged inactivity or bed rest.

• Warm up or stretch before exercising or other physical activities, such as gardening.
• Maintain proper posture.
• Wear comfortable, low-heeled shoes.
• Sleep on a mattress of medium firmness to minimize any curve in your spine.

• Lift with your knees, keep the object close to your body, and do not twist when lifting.
• Quit smoking. Smoking impairs blood flow, resulting in oxygen and nutrient deprivation to spinal tissues.
• Work with your doctor of chiropractic to ensure that your computer workstation is ergonomically correct.

How to Choose the Right Type of Massage

With over 160 different types of massage techniques, knowing which is best for you can be daunting.  The following are some preferred therapies designed to heal and get you back on track:

Massage Therapy (Swedish Massage)

A gentle therapy, the Swedish massage uses long, smooth strokes, circular movements and kneading to help with circulation and relaxation.  It’s the most common type of therapy and uses strokes that flow in line with blood circulation to the heart.  The Swedish massage is great for the novice patient or those looking for a massage that focuses on the superficial layers of the muscle.

Deep Tissue

If you need something to delve a little deeper, the deep tissue massage is just your ticket.  Using slow strokes and friction techniques, a deep tissue massage gets at the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue.  This type of massage is perfect for those whose muscles are painful and tight or are repetitively strained.

Sports Massage

Even if you’re not a professional athlete, a sports massage is well-suited for those engaged in some physical activity.  Sports massage therapy uses different techniques that include stretching and flexibility improvement.  The main purpose is to treat and prevent injury while helping to enhance performance.

Active Release Therapy (ART)

By using movement and tension to help loosen muscles and scar tissue, ART is perfect for those soft tissue injuries, both chronic and acute.

Jin Shin Jyutsu

Jin Shin Jyutsu is a type of art massage therapy used to ease energy tensions and promote harmony and balance through relaxation.  By holding specific points on the body, blocked energy pathways open and the benefits of Jin Shin Jyutsu massage are released.

Detox the Body and Feel Rejuvenated With Far-Infared Heat

There are numerous benefits to massage therapy and the wellness that comes from it can be further enhanced by other health services.

 Massage therapy is an excellent way to help the body get rid of toxins while providing a sense of well-being and relaxation.

Massage therapy is designed to promote wellness by relaxing muscles, restoring balance and, of course, relieving pain.  More importantly, massage therapy is used to help circulate blood flow.  (Inadequate circulation leads to a decrease in nutrients in the body and the body’s ability to excrete toxins.)  Too, the lymphatic system needs movement to circulate fluids and protect internal organs against harmful elements, such as viruses and bacteria.

At The Healing Joint, we take a multi-tiered approach to your well-being by further enhancing all of the massage therapy benefits.  With our Far-Infared Heated Sauna, patients get a double boost of the relaxation and detoxing effects.

Our Far-Infared Sauna is unlike traditional saunas that heat the air within a confined space.  By using far-infared technology, only the body receives the benefits of the heat, allowing you to enjoy the experience at lower temperatures.  Our sauna doesn’t just heat the air, so temperatures are up to 60 degrees lower than traditional saunas.  And by using far-infared light, the heat is able to penetrate tissue much better.

The benefits of Far-Infared Sauna treatments after a massage is to further remove toxins from the body, which are culprits to ill health.  By using far-infared waves, a breakdown of water molecules occurs and starts releasing gases and toxic materials that have been encapsulated in the molecules.

 By combining massage and far-infared therapies, along with other healthcare services such as chiropractic care and our Jade Thermal Massage Bed, the overall wellness benefits are greatly enhanced.
