Oakland Massage Therapy: Unwind and Heal with Soulful Modalities at Wood & Water – WOOD & WATER – ACUPUNCTURE & INTUITIVE BODYWORK (2024)

• Deep tissue massage incorporates a variety of scientifically informed techniques aimed at addressing muscle tension and promoting relaxation. Techniques such as stripping, friction, and myofascial release focus on breaking down adhesions and releasing fascial restrictions, supported by their impact on circulation and muscle function. Trigger point therapy and neuromuscular therapy specifically target hyper-irritable spots and aim to balance the nervous system's role in muscle tension. Other methods, including muscle energy technique, active release technique, compression massage, petrissage, and deep transverse frictions, contribute to improved blood flow, lymph circulation, and scar tissue management. The active release technique combines movement with pressure to address scar tissue and enhance flexibility, while muscle stripping and deep pressure techniques aim to reduce adhesions and induce relaxation. Each technique plays a role in deep tissue massage, catering to individual needs and preferences.

• Introducing CBD to your massage experience amplifies the therapeutic benefits, creating a truly indulgent and rejuvenating session. Renowned for its anti-inflammatory and calming properties, CBD-infused massage oil or lotion enhances the release of tension, reduces muscle soreness, and promotes a profound sense of relaxation. As the cannabinoid compounds interact with receptors in the skin, joints, and muscles, the massage becomes a holistic treatment for both physical and mental well-being.
