Lad os lige snakke om dybtgående massage...!

Der er tit og ofte misforståelser i den moderne massageverden med hensyn til dybptgående/tværgående massage og sportsmassage. Disse to teknikker ikke er den samme, og er konstrueret til forskellige formål. Jeg tænkte lige at det var en god idé at afklare denne misforståelse, og skriver hermed kort og klart hvad forskellen er; vi begynder med at kigge på den dybtgående/tværgående massage:

Man kan finde rigtige mange små fortællinger ude på internettet om historien bagved, og begyndelsen af dybtgående massage. Det siges at man kan spore teknikken helt tilbage til det gamle Grækenland (tidspunktet ca. 800 B.C), og endnu længere tilbage til gamle Egypten.

Men, det siges at det ikke var indtil den belgiske/canadiske kvinde, Therese C. Phrimmer, at den tværgående teknik blev officielt anerkendt.

Som ordene siger sig selv, er dybtgående/tværgående massage en teknik hvilket det søges ind i kroppens dybere muskulatur via massageterapeutens fingre, hænder, forarm, og/eller albue, hvorfor friktion, pres og/eller knibninger bruges til at løsne væv/muskelfibre som har sat sig fast, og har dermed skabt hvad vi så fornemt i massageverdenen referer til som ”myoser” samt adherencer. Ved at bruge denne teknik danner man frihed til mere blodcirkulation i området hvor myosen befinder sig, og kroppen kan nu frigive giftstoffer som har hobet sig op i området, hvilket betyder at muskelfibrene kan gå i gang med sin naturlige proces at reparere sig selv.

Selv om en dybtgående massage/tværgående massage behandling som regel betyder at behandlingen er mindre blid end, for eksempel, helsemassage, betyder dette dog ikke at smerten gennem behandlingen skal overskride kundens tolerance til smerte, da intet gavnes hvis behandlingen bliver for smertefuld. Det er derfor vigtig at kommunikere gennem hele behandlingen med massageterapeuten med hensyn til hvilket niveau af smertetolerance man har nået til.

English version:

In the modern world of massage therapy there is often a misconception of such notion that deep tissue massage and sports massage are one and the same. Indeed, the two forms of massage are not the same, as they [the two forms of massage] are designed to serve different purposes. It seems, therefore, to be a good idea to clarify the difference between deep tissue massage as opposed to sports massage; let’s start with taking a look at what deep tissue really is:

The internet holds a tremendous amount of stories about the history of deep tissue massage. It is said that the practice of this form of massage can be traced back to ancient Greece (approximately 800 B.C), and even further back in history to ancient Egypt.

However, it wasn’t until the Belgian/Canadian woman, Therese C. Phrimmer, whom in the 1940’s decided to develop the technique which we recognize today as deep tissue massage.

As the definition of deep tissue massage is self-explanatory in itself, it is exactly as it sounds: it is a technique used to treat the deeper muscle tissues, whereas the massage therapist utilizes his/her fingers, palm of the hands, forearm(s) and/or elbow(s) in order to create friction, pressure and/or kneading for the sake of loosening connective tissue (scar tissue) and/or tangled muscle fibers which have become “stuck”, thereby developing what we (in the world of Physical/Massage Therapies) refer to so eloquently as adhesion, and/or trigger points. While using the techniques inherent of deep tissue massage, the massage therapist enables increased blood flow to the area(s) to which the adhesion and/or trigger points are found. The blood can now alleviate the body of built-up toxins in the area, followed by the enabling the body to start the natural process of repairing the damaged area.

Even though the deep tissue massage therapy treatment is less gentle than, for example, Swedish/classic massage therapy, it does not equate to the necessity of exceeding limit of the pain tolerance of the client during the treatment, as the treatment becomes counterproductive if the pain becomes too much to handle. It is therefore important to communicate with the massage therapist throughout the session of treatment regarding the level of pain for which one has reached.
