The Science Behind Massage Therapy for Chronic Pain
Massage therapy is known for its relaxation and stress-relief benefits, but did you know it can also be an effective tool in managing chronic pain? Research has shown that massage therapy can positively impact pain levels, muscle tension, and overall quality of life.

When we experience chronic pain, our muscles become tense and tight, contributing to discomfort. Massage therapy alleviates this tension by increasing muscle blood flow, promoting relaxation, and improving flexibility. This, in turn, helps to reduce pain and improve overall well-being.

Types of Massage Therapy Offered at Naturology Centre Moncton
At Naturology Centre Moncton, we offer a variety of massage techniques to address the specific needs of our clients suffering from chronic pain.

A few tyles used commonly:
Swedish Massage: This classic massage technique uses long, gliding strokes to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension, and improve circulation. It’s an excellent choice for those new to massage therapy or anyone seeking a gentle, soothing experience.

Deep Tissue Massage: As the name suggests, this type of massage targets deeper layers of muscle tissue to release chronic muscle tension and knots. It benefits those with chronic pain related to muscle imbalances or overuse injuries.

Trigger Point Therapy: This specialized form of massage therapy focuses on releasing tight knots, or “trigger points,” in the muscles that can cause pain and discomfort. By applying targeted pressure to these points, our therapists can help to relieve pain and improve the range of motion.

Myofascial Release: This gentle, hands-on technique focuses on releasing tension in the connective tissue (fascia) surrounding the muscles. Myofascial release can be particularly effective in addressing chronic pain related to fibromyalgia or postural imbalances.
