Back Shoulder
What type of massage is best for shoulder and back tension?
I've never gotten a professional massage before, and I'm trying to figure out what kind would be best for my situation. I'm a musician with bad neck, shoulder, and back tension. Would a deep tissue massage be too intense for a first-timer? What is a reasonable price for a 45-60 min massage?
For getting a massage for the first time deep tissue will leave you sore. The soreness comes from the lactic acid that is accumulated from contracted muscles not getting enough oxygen which in turn causes knots or adhesions. When you are tense all the time we take shorter breaths and you're body stays positioned in one place for too long.
Get a therapeutic or customized massage meaning they adjust the pressure to you're muscle tonality and you should not feel uncomfortable. A resonable price for a 1 hour massage is $55- $75. I would suggest getting a 30 minute on you're upper body ( neck, back, shoulders, arms, hands, pec's and scalp) This is around $25-$45. See you're therapist at least every other week or once a month. Massage should be therapeutic and relaxing...even deep tissue is not supposto hurt it defeats the purpose. If you are in pain during a massage you're body feels that it is under attack and you start to tense up and you're money goes to waste no theraputic release has happened, just added stress.
After you're massage physically you will feel very fluid like you have full mobility of you're muscles and you will feel very light. You might feel some soreness but it should be tolerable...just drink lots of water and make sure you are taking some kind of calcium suppliment to absorb the lactic acid.
Also make sure you're therapist has a pleasent demenor about them that they respect you're body and pain tolerance and speak up if you have and uncomfortableness. and most importantly allow you're self to trust and release =)
