Massage is a great way to improve posture and alignment. It can help relieve muscle tension, reduce pain, and prevent further injury. Massage therapy helps relax muscles that have tightened due to poor posture, which in turn improves overall body alignment. This improved posture can lead to better balance, increased flexibility, and reduced stress on joints throughout the body.
When it comes to improving your posture through massage therapy there are several techniques available for you or your therapist to utilize during a session:
- Trigger Point Therapy: Utilizes direct pressure applied at specific points along the muscle fibers in order to release tension from tight muscles that may be contributing towards poor postural habits;
- Deep Tissue Massage: Uses deep strokes with firm pressure targeting deeper layers of tissue such as connective tissue surrounding joints;
- Myofascial Release: A gentle technique used by therapists focusing on releasing restrictions within fascia – the thin sheath of fibrous material covering all our tissues (skin & organs);
- Neuromuscular Re-education Techniques : Helps restore balance between opposing sets of muscles by stimulating their reflexes using light touch or tapping motions;
