Thermal Acupressure Massage Therapy And How It Can Help You
The spine is the pillar of our body, meaning the brain and the spinal cord together make up the central nervous system that controls all of the functions of our body.
Spinal disorders, lower back pain, and shoulder aches can be caused by arthritis, poor posture, bad habits, exercising incorrectly, and prolonged stress. Daily management of your spine plays a crucial role inmaintaining your health.
If you’re someone who lives with back pain/discomfort on a daily basis, it’s important to seek professional help. Many patients find relief through treatments provided by orthopedic surgeons, chiropractors, physical therapists, etc.
Massage therapy can also be a very effective solution for back pain. It’s often performed in conjunction with treatments from your physician, or it can be used as a stand-alone treatment (especially if you’re looking for quick symptom relief.)
A newer treatment you might not be as familiar with is Ceragem massage therapy, which utilizes unique massage beds to provide pain/tension relief – and many other benefits.
How Does It Work?
Ceragem massage beds are fully automatic. They scan the length of your spine and provide customized massages, which relax muscles, relieve pain, and improve blood circulation and energy. Jade rollers on the bed provide a customizable massage that promotes healing, while infrared (IR) rays warm the body and stimulate blood vessels.
Essentially, the treatment could be described as a unique blend of chiropractic, massage therapy, acupressure, thermal therapy, and moxibustion.
What Are Treatments Like?
Treatments are very easy and comfortable. You lie down fully clothed in the massage bed while the rollers administer gentle pressure, massaging your back from the base of the skull all the way to the bottom of your spine.
There are six levels of intensity and 12 different massage programs. These programs allow you to select your preferred massage. Do you want a massage that promotes: Relaxation? Deep sleep? Concentration? Energy? A well-balanced body? These are just a few examples.
The Benefits
Ceragem massage therapy offers benefits to the muscular system, such as alleviation of muscle tension and fatigue. The skeletal system also benefits, as treatments enhance posture and flexibility by promoting better range of motion in the joints. Through improved circulation, the skin and respiratory system also receive benefits, including reduction of cellulite and stabilized breathing.
Ceragem massages also offer emotional and mental advantages such as reducing anxiety, calming the mind, and promoting clearer thinking.
